Hello girls. If you all remember my WONDERFUL husband got me tickets for us to see Bon Jovi at Solider Field for Christmas. I FINALLY go to use them Friday night. Woweeee!
Just some background on what is going in with my family....
My husband is an electrician who got laid off in January....still not back to work.
Making COBRA payments to keep insurance....sheesh.
12-year-old daughter needs braces....$5000 with $500 downpayment due initially.
My father-in-law was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic esophageal carcinoma with mets to leg bone and throat lymph nodes in April. Chemo not working, spreading rapidly.
So needless to say life in our household has pretty much sucked.
BUT Friday night I got to use my Christmas gift FINALLY.......and let me tell you it was absolutely wonderful. We were there for about five hours. They had an opening band called 7th Heaven who won a battle of the bands in Chicago and beat 600 other bands. They were really quite good and played for about an hour.
Kid Rock opened up and play for about an hour also. I have never been a big fan but he put on a great show and won me over by the end.
Then after 25 years of waiting.........Bon Jovi played for 2-1/2 hours. Definitely got our $ worth. They did all of my favorite songs:
BORN TO BE ME BABY, ALWAYS, BED OF ROSES, ETC. and all of the big hits. They did 24 songs in all. Wow.
We were in section B2 which is on about the 40 yard line of Soldier Field about 150 feet from the stage. Great seats!
We are already making plans to save for the next time they come around as my 12 years old was very jealous and wants to go the next time around (I guess I have raised her right : ).
Anyway that is about it. So for one warm summer evening in June amisdt all of the horrible things going on in my life I was able to forget them as Jon sang to me and lifted my spirits unibelievably high!
If you have been to see them please share! I would love to hear your story!
