But here's the best of it all:
I GOT TO MEET HOLLY PAIGE LAWSON FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy crap.
Was that amazing or what...
So we flew into the Detroit airport around 11:00 Wednesday night, got up the next morning, went into downtown, checked out the Detroit Zoo and stuff like that. Then around 4 we started heading over to Howell, had dinner there and checked out downtown, then went off to the show. We got there right as the doors were opening so we had pretty good seats.
Right before the show started I got to feeling pretty sick. I mean, there wasn't any reason to it, this is her show and I'd be the one laughing if she messed up. But I was SOOO nervous. I mean, I met this girl over Youtube, I didn't know what she was really gonna be like or anything. I mean I had an idea but I wasn't sure. So I spent the majority of the 30 minute wait in the bathroom:) That was fun.
When the show started I really started freaking out. I mean, I was about to see the girl I've looked up to for so long and was so amazed by. She ran out on stage and I just about lost it. It was Holly. In the flesh. Like if I wanted to I could've ran up and actually touched her. That would be weird but I could've. Anyway. That was pretty dramatic.
You see, we just kind of made our way over there, no contact to Holly the entire day. That was a little rude on my part, I could've at least let her know we were there:) But hey, whatever. So she never knew if we really made it until she saw me during the second act. Oh man, when I knew she saw me, I started like hyperventilating. She said she almost stopped breathing. That would've been funny on stage. I'd have laughed:)
Around the last few musical number I really started freaking out. Like really. I practically ran out of the auditorium when the show was over so I could be there to tackle my girl if she was one of the first ones out:) When she came out someone else was there to greet her first, but after she ran over to me screaming and she just about bowled me over with the tackle:) But WOW did that feel amazing. I don't think I've ever had a better tackle. She started crying, I almost started crying but I was fresh out of tears considering I'd been crying practically through the entire show, and if I started I may never stop:)
It took a little while to actually realize this was all actually happening. I've had dreams about this night so it was hard to convince myself I wasn't going to wake up this time. This was unfolding right before my eyes. This night I had been waiting for for such a long time. This night I had been counting down to since November. I loved it. It was there. And it was now. I couldn't convince myself of that because I knew if I did I'd start crying and probably not stop. I mean, it was HER!!!
She dragged me around a while talking to her other friends and such, I got a lot of hugs from people I didn't know and absolutely loved it:) Then we made our way over to her house.
Now, we met over Youtube, of course she's going to sing to me live when I get there. But I wasn't expecting what I got. She's amazing as she is, practically flawless every time I listen to her, and she very expressive in what she does. Then you see her, hear her, live. Whoa. I was floored. She was flawless. Like beyond flawless. There was something there that wasn't usually there. Maybe it's just because it was live and I've never heard it that way before, but whatever it was, it was absolutely stunning. Flawlessly stunning. The best I've ever heard her. Amazing.
I still kinda have to slap myself every time I think about it to convince myself that it was true. I can't wait to go back there again soon:) She's so amazing, so sweet and good to me and I love her more than words can say. She won't ever understand how much I care about her. She's my personal little lifesaver that lifts me up on her shoulders every time I fall down, which happens to be a lot:) I love that girl. She's my hero, my inspiration, my light that I look up to in life. She's so beautifully amazing. I love her <3

| Love this girl:) <3 |
I can die happy tonight:) That was my goal in life and it's done. Well, meeting Sugarland is still on there, but that can wait if it needs to. I'm content:)
Lots of love,
Erika
