I had the best time. I wish we could have gotten better pictures. Oh well. I just keep thinking I FINALLY MET THE JUDDS!!! Too Kewl. A dream come true!

Mom and I stayed in Shakopee. The Judds Kmart signing was in Shakopee. It was nice that we didn't have to drive into town and rush a half-hour over to Shakopee. It took us 5 minutes to get there. We got there at 8/8:30. We were about 20th in line. Amber and her mom Becky stood with mom and I. They gave us our tickets and that's when it all started to feel real. Amber and Becky were so concern that mom would wear herself out so we bought a lawn chair for her to sit in. I talked to a really nice lady in front of us and her husband for the longest time. They bought us newspapers with The Judds on the front. They were really nice people. It just was really kewl to meet all these other Judd fans.

For the signing the rushes us thru really really fast though. They also had let the public stand right in front of the stage where they were sitting so that us who had wristbands couldn't take pictures. I tried to snap a few but think I just got people. Augh! Oh well. Roach, Wynonna's Tour manager/boyfriend was standing there greeting everyone at the front of the line. He was in a really good mood. He was joking with people. Amber was in front of me. He was asking everyone his or her names as he introduce himself. Amber said "I'm Amber" So I said "I'm Amber too." He said Amber Too Don't would me Amber Also. I was like yeah. He started joking with me that it would be weird that my middle name would be too. He asked us want Amber middle and was and mine. I got so flustered I couldn't remember my middle name to save my life. It was so funny. Naomi and Wynonna looked so Great!! Their hair is sooo RED right know!!! Man!! and they are so beautiful up close!! Wy had a leopard cowboy hat on. Too kewl. Wy was really quiet though. She seemed overwhelmed by all the people standing around. Be proud of me, I wasn't a crying blubbering idiot up there. I said to Naomi, "This is my dream come true." She smiled at me and said that's good." I asked to shake her hand and she did. I asked the same of Wynonna and she did. Both of them signed my picture of Wynonna I had. And I had Naomi sign my copy of the children's book she wrote. Too kewl! My mom cried the whole time. Naomi asked her which Amber was hers. Too kewl. See I'm just easy to please. hehe.

Then Amber Becky invited Mom and I to go shopping at the Mall of America and ate at the Rainforest cafe'. I thought that was really sweet of them. They were worried about us being alone in the big cities so they showed us around. The Cafe' was soooo good. The food at the Rainforest Cafe' was awesome! We also went to the mall on Sunday. It’s just that big. Mom loved it. She wants to go back. Mom is absolutely addicted to Watermelon Popcorn now!

I stayed up and talking with Amber and Becky at the hotel on Saturday night. I loved talking with them!!!! ! The whole concert sees like a dream to me!!

The concert was Sunday night. We went out for dinner a block from the concert arena with Amber, Becky, their two aunts, and my mom. I got over excited before the concert and didn't eat. It happens before every concert. I should know better by now right? hehe. oh well. :O)

I abandon Mom to buy Judd stuff. I went a little nuts. hehe I was like a kid in a candy store. It was soo much fun being able to just buy whatever I wanted. I know I will never get to do anything like that again. So I enjoyed it. I got a jacket a long sleeve shirt, t-shirt tour book keychain and magnets. I blew my whole Christmas bonus. I loved it.

I was way too excited before the concert. I even abandon mom at the get to my seats. Opps!! So I had to go get her. Our seats were great!!!! We were in the perfect spot other than being right up front. I love it!!! It was like a perfect moment for 2 hours. Jodee Messina opened. Jodee Messina was good too but man!! The show is mind-blowing. They came out singing Love Can Build a Bridge. I was like, okay how are they going to top sing that, especial at the closing of the show. But Man!!!! They well wove Wy's solo songs and Judd songs and the news stuff together.

They did several dress changes. Well Wy did shoes and jackets, Naomi did the works. Oh my.... Wy came out once on her HARLEY!!! To sing Wyld Unknown. I loved the pictures that they nargiated. At the end they came out to a little stage at the back of arena and sang. I got lots of pictured there. Then they went back up front and Naomi came out in a fairy costume with a tiara and wand, She was throwing glitter everywhere!!!! I was laughing so hard. Wy kept saying "hey you in the Tiara!! and She is soo weird" Oh and they were in such great moods. They were laughing and joking. Right before they were to start to sing Why not me they were joking and laugh around. Naomi got the giggles and couldn't stop. Every time she looked at Wy she would loose it. Wy keep egging her on to laugh harder. Wy told her, "Mama your ruining a beautiful song," in this voice that made Naomi laugh harder. Naomi finally had to get up and walk over to the backup singers to calm down so they could start. It was hysterical!! There is so much at the concert that I can’t explain it all. It was awesome! I laughed and cried. It was a dream come true. I danced. IT was soo awesome. It made me feel more a live than I have in a looong time. They sang freedom at the very end to close the show.

It has restored a lot of faith in things for me. I feel inspired. I am going to change my life. I'm not going to waste my life. I am going to listen to Naomi and use the power to change. Naomi says if you don't like things change the way you look at them. Aloneness will do you in Naomi said. Like Wynonna said, "Its not what happens to you...its what you do with what happens to you that matters" We may only have this moment left to live. I want to make that moment count!!!!!

The concert was just too awesome. I can’t believe what a well rounded show it was! It was perfect. I had so much fun dance with Amber! I didn’t want the night to end.

We didn’t get home until 3:30. We hit a bit of snow. The roads home where a bit slippery. But I slept well.
