The Ross Household: Hilary Duff Concert

O.K. lately I have been doing things on a whim and yesterday was no exception. Rachel had pointed out to me last week that the next time Hilary Duff came to town I promised to take her. How was I supposed to know it was going to be 6 months later? Honestly I didn't even know she was coming again until she mentioned it and at that point there were no seats left besides seats in the nose bleed section (Hilary would have been a spec from that far away).

Yesterday I decided to check ticket master and low and behold they obviously released more seats and they were fantastic. Ticket master started the countdown and I had 2 minutes to decide or they would release the tickets. We all know I don't work well under pressure, $120.00 later I had purchased them. Oh yeah, major catch, I didn't have a babysitter for that second child I am solely responsible for. Yes, ticket master needs to understand that 2 minutes is not long enough to rationalize things. Anyway, Super Katie came to the rescue and I decided to surprise Rachel. I video taped it thinking I couldn't miss her overwhelming reaction when I tell her (this was for Andrew's sake as well). If I knew how to upload clips I would because her reaction was not at all what I anticipated. Sort of like this "sure, o.k. then". Where was the screaming, I love you Mom, your the best?? Nope just a casual sure was what I got.

Once we got to the show things turned around for me. First of all we were no more than 20 Ft from the stage. Why is it one of the best seats I've ever had at a concert was for Hilary Duff?? Rachel was in awe of all the people, the stage, the atmosphere and then the show began...I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story...
