I got to enjoy my Valentine's gift a little early this year when Connor took me to see Bon Jovi in concert. This was my second time seeing them, although it had been 11 years since my last show. Bon Jovi has been my favorite band since I was in middle school, so when I heard they were kicking off their new tour in Greenville I begged him to get us tickets. We made a date of it, first getting dinner at Dive N Boar before heading the concert. The band played for a full two and a half hours and I felt so happy singing out all of the words.
The weekend following Valentine's was spent in the mountains. We ski every winter with Connor's family, but this year we stayed for the weekend at Wolf Ridge. We really loved spending quiet time with Logan, Sammie, and Connor's parents. The rest of the family enjoyed an afternoon on the slopes while I stayed back at the cabin and finally finished The Magnolia Story. This weekend away was just what we all needed to recharge before a busy spring.
