A Moment Like This

On Friday night I went to see Kelly Clarkson in concert. It was amazing. There were 8 of us...all current or past Taylor students, and I'll just say, we showed the world we know how to have a good time. Throughout the afternoon we spent time working on dance moves and lyric memorization and then made our t-shirts. "I-HEART-K-E-L-L-Y-!" I was the "E." As we were driving to the concert, Brian Beeh was driving and saw a SUV with some girls about our age looking at directions. His immediate response was, "They have directions out...they have to be going to the concert." Well, we passed them in a few minutes and I showed them my shirt, and they indeed had amazing Kelly t-shirts on too. When we got to the concert, they were only a few rows behind us. At the end of the concert, one of the girls gave me her t-shirt. It's pretty small, but I love it beyond description. Anyway, back to the concert. We were up in the balcony, but Kelly still kept looking up at me. And I just kept looking back. You see, she is pretty much the cutest thing ever. She was all over the stage, twirling around, letting herself go. She didn't have shoes on and you could just tell she was having a good time. Plus, she sounded freaking awesome. The choreography was a big hit (I'll admit that at one point I turned around and got the audience behind us to do the moves too) and everyone had a good time. I just wanted to share what I consider to be one of the greater moments of my life. Thank you Kelly.
