I don't talk about it as much as I used to because it's probably gotten to a healthier level as I've had another child and gotten older, but I love John Mayer. I mean, I LOVE John Mayer. Aside from being HOOOOT, he is one of the most talented muscians/artists/writers that there are. I really love a lot about him, even though he'd gotten a lot of flack in the past year for his mouth. I can relate to that. We've all got one, right?
Anyway, he's gotten back to what he's best at: music. For the past week or so, a girl on facebook was trying to sell John Mayer tickets for August 8th in Atlanta. Travis told me about it: 20 bucks a piece. Lawn. Wrong. I've seen John Mayer up close each time that I've seen him, and I just love him so much that if I'm going to see him, I'm not sitting in the lawn. It was a nice offer, but I was going to pass on that.
Fast forward to Wednesday morning, the day of the concert. I hear my phone go off saying that there's a message, and it just happened to be from Heather Varvell, our music pastor's wife. One thing that clicked with the Varvells and me right away when they first moved here years ago was our mutual love for John Mayer. Her message: They bought tickets months ago, and they had no idea the concert would fall on the church's first Wednesday night back in session since our break in July. Luke was out. Would I care to join her? WOULD I?! She said that out of all the people that they could think of to go, I was the perfect fit. I totally agreed! Travis said not to get too overly excited because these could be lawn tickets too, not that it wouldn't be fun still...but I knew Luke and Heather. They are like me: presale tickets. Row 10 to be exact. No screens necessary. Sweet Jesus, thanks for smiling at me!
The cool thing is that this was the first day in weeks that Travis just happened to be home all day, so I didn't have to rush to get a sitter. Also, I had just been reading John Mayer's blog and twitter a few days before kind of rediscovering why I liked him, and then I get this offer. It's like I was being set up, and I was! It was such a God thing, and Heather and I had an absolute blast. She and I never get to hang out, and we clicked right away. I'm so thankful for such a great night. I really needed it.
Heather and me
The screen behind him was really awesome (not that I needed it), but it had some really sweet effects. I took some of these for Travis because he's very into this kind of thing.
Poor guy threw his lower back out. He informed us that he was high on back medicine, which made for some pretty funny dialogue.

I'm so glad Papa blessed you with such an awesome blessing! To each, his or her own, but I had personally much rather see and hear a young lady sing named 'Julie Spence'! Now, she's awesome! Just sayin'....;)
Ha, that really made me 'lol,' Bill, but at the same time, that's flattering. Thanks. :)
