Living in the 80's

Any children of the 80's out there? Well, we took a little trip down memory lane last night. Our friends invited us to go see Def Leppard and Styx and Foreigner at USANA ampitheatre and it was a blast!

We all met up at Crown Burger (we needed a fast place) and by the time we got on the road, traffic was horrible! We spent an hour and a half heading west. We missed Foreigner all together and got there just in time to see Styx. The girls needed a bathroom which was an experience in and of itself. The mens restroom door was completely open and 'Jethro' was our new best friend! Imagine our horror when he was sitting 2 rows behind us! There was definately a different crowd there....but, there were plenty of 'normal' people like us....Mike even ran into a mission companion, Ritchie, who lives not too far from us. We were joking that we missed ward temple night and came to Sodom and Gomorrah!

We had a great time rockin' to our old favs. Def Leppard sounded just like they use to. They gave a great show and it was fun to be at a rock concert again where you could feel the base guitar beat in your chest. We had a great time with our friends, Brad & Jeni (Jeni was my friend who would dance with me....I don't know how you sit still at a rock concert), Casey & Nicole (Nicole who didn't know most of the songs because she's too young), Tony & Hillary (Hillary who didn't know any songs because she's even younger than Nicole), and Brad & Jeni's friends, Rod & Jill. Getting out of the parking lot took about an hour, but we found a quicker route home without any traffic.

Thanks to Renae who came and watched our kids! I felt terrible that she drove home at 1am! We tried to get her to sleep over....the kids would have loved that. Thanks for taking them to dinner and the park!

The 80's had some great music and it was fun to go back in time if for only one night!

Sounds like a blast and I'm afraid the wonderful 80's era is hitting us again - the skinny jeans, vans, baggy shirts, leggings. . . very scary! Hopefully we can stay away from the big hair.
