Last night was Stadium of Fire. Nothing special, and not really out of the ordinary. I've gone a couple times so I know what it's like. But this year was Carrie Underwood, and I got to go with a girl I love.
Vivian came with me last night =) She's a close friend of my grandparents, so I already knew her somewhat well. We went to dinner at the freedom festival downtown. First amazing thing of the night - Brit was there! Ah, Brittany, Brittany, Brittany. I love that girl. She's the sweetest. I haven't seen her for about a year, so it was way special that she was there.
After dinner we went straight to the stadium. It was so fun. We didn't listen to anything they were saying or doing and didn't pay attention to any of the opening acts. We just kept poking each other and talking and complaining to the staff member that Carrie wasn't on yet. I think the only thing that we paid attention to was the part where they presented the colors and brought in each of the branches of the military. This was way special to the both of us. Especially for me because I have had a few friend's have their dads or brothers injured or killed in the war. Of course, me being the emotional person I am, this part made me cry. After that we went back to poking and talking and teasing. =)
When Carrie came on, the party got started. Vivian was HILARIOUS. She made me get up and dance with her. It was so fun. We had our arms around each other the whole time and she kept hugging me. That was special. =)
Temporary Home or Undo It were probably my favorite songs of the night. I was way upset she didn't do Independence Day or I Told you So. Rawr.
Vivian and I walked home after. So fun. I really got to know the girl and got to get to love her. It was so way fun. After she kept emailing me how special it was for her so I felt totally awesome. Best 4th of July ever.

Xoxo!
