Kelly Clarkson Concert!

Random...I get a email from Robert while at work asking me if I wanted to go to Kelly Clarkson's concert that night, so of course I said, "Sure." I didn't even know she was in town. I love Kelly Clarkson. Well it turns out she was in town, literally. Her concert was right across the street from our house at the Utah Valley University's baseball stadium for Orem City's Summer fest. I was so excited Robert found out that her concert was that night, and luckily for us there were plenty of lawn seat tickets available. For lawn seats it only cost us $15 each. I couldn't believe how cheap they were selling them for!
This is us waiting for her to come out! We had to get there early to get good seats since it was general admission, and boy did we get good seats! We were only about 125 feet away from her. I still can't believe we only paid $15!

I was nervous though because it had been raining everyday since June began, and of course this day was not unlike any other. At 4 pm it started raining hard, so I sat at work starring at the window in disappointment thinking our fun evening outside would be ruined. However, just on my drive home from work it stopped! It finally let up just in time for us to go to the ball park to reserve our seats. Nonetheless, we still went to the concert prepared for the worse. We had our tarp, blankets, and rain ponchos.

Happy that the rain appears to be holding off!

Well it did rain on us a little but nothing too bad, so we were feeling pretty lucky.

And lucky we were after the rain dispersed. It left the most beautiful rainbow that arched right over the stage! You could not ask for a more perfect backdrop to an outdoor concert!

In the end, the concert was awesome! She sang all of her biggest hits, so I had fun dancing and singing along all night!
