My First Post

The most exciting thing to happen to us this week is the Jo Bros Concert! Sydney, myself, my best friend Tiffany and her daughter, Sami went on Tuesday. It was a LONG hot day, but totally worth it in the end! We got to the Verizon store in Concord at about 11:30. We waited and waited and waited to meet Demi Lavato. She is the girl from Camp Rock, Syds latest favorite Disney movie. It was hot and crowded. I thought the girls were going to have a heat stroke and I got sunburned. At 2:00, the doors were opened. We inched our way in and finally got to meet her! It was Sami's first celebrity meet, so the wait was worth it to see her reaction. The staff had it very organized and it moved quickly. I wasn't able to take pictures because I had to choose, autograph or picture. I chose to get my niece, Brayley, an autographed poster. Demi was so cute, sweet, and bubbly. She seemed thrilled to talk to each and every little girl. Well, after that we went to Concord Mills and walked around. The girls got almost matching T-shirts. Syd's had Nick and Sami's had Joe. We went to Verizon Wireless Amphitheater for the concert. First up was Demi Lavato, and she did really good. Next was Avril Lavinge, who was awesome. I was pleasantly surprised she kept the songs clean and pretty much curse free. Her stage set was really cool. Last was the Jonas Brothers. They were amazing. It was really neat to see how much they improved since we saw them with Hannah Montana last November. They had so much energy and their stage set up was awesome. I kidded Sydney that it was a Nick Jonas concert because he stole the show. They sang their hearts out. Joe did flips and jumps and didn't get hurt. Kevin was ever elusive, moving constantly and made it difficult for me to take pics. We got home at 1:00 am and couldn't get to sleep until after 2:00 am. I feel so lucky to have been able to take the girls to see it.
