What a Night!




So as most of you know, last night was the Stadium of Fire! Ben and I had to be at the Stadium by 5:30 so that we could help take tickets for the Celebrity Pre-Show. When we got to there, the attendants would not let in anyone until six so there were some pretty angry people! After we finally got in, Ben and I got to go into the Cougar Room to get ready to take tickets and as we opened the door, the whole angry crowd tried to follow us in. Anyways at the pre-show we had a light dinner buffet and all of the talent ( Lou Diamond Phillips, Jenny Oaks Baker, The Osmonds Second Generation, The 5 Browns, and Carrie Underwood) came in and spoke. Also, about sixty of us were actually able to go into a special room and meet Carrie! We also got a picture with her, but you will have to wait for that because they did not allow for personal cameras.

The show itself was AWESOME, but I guess I didn't expect any less. I thought the show was timed perfectly with everyone getting just the right time to perform. My favorite part was most definitely Carrie, but I also love the flyover, the fireworks, dancers, and Osmond Second Generation! We took Cora with us and she loved the music and all of the colored lights. I was a little worried about the fireworks being to loud for her, but she wasn't scared at all! She loved all the pretty colors in the sky. During the second set of fireworks, she actually slept through the noise.

After the show we went to the post show reception. It was mostly just a lot of people and food. The talent, with the exception of Carrie, came in and entertained for a little while. We stayed long enough to get the food, which ended up being quite a while, but it was worth it! By the time we got to the car there was no traffic at all! It was a perfect night!

Cora passed out at 11 this morning. She had a long night!
