i can't help it

it may shock some to find out that i grew up in an anti-country music family. neither of my parents are into it (major understatement), so i grew up thinking i hated it, even though i honestly had never even tried it out.

when kendrick and i started dating, i was appalled to find out he listened to the stuff. "isn't it all just about dead dogs and broken hearts?" i'd tease him. finally, he showed me the country songs he liked, and as hard as it was for me to admit it... i kind of liked the stuff.

pretty soon, i found myself turning on country music on our long drives down to richfield. eventually, i started making country playlists on my phone, and finally, i started listening to it when i was by myself. i know, i know... sorry mom and dad.

something that we always talked about was going to a country concert together. it has been on our bucket list for two and a half years... until we finally made it happen last saturday night. two of our absolute favorite country singers were playing at usana- jason aldean and thomas rhett. yes and yes!

we were happy to have kendrick's cousin shelby join in on the fun!

without sounding too cheesy.... the concert was everything i hoped it would be and more. we had fun singing and dancing to every single song, and people-watching all the drunk fans definitely topped the night off.

we also found out that my crush on thomas rhett is stronger than ever and can't be tamed. kendrick snapped this completely candid photo of my face when thomas rhett came out on stage.

 i just... i can't help it.

we are already planning our next concert... luke bryan, anyone?

we'll see you there.
