Tonight is the night that I was suppose to be attending the CMA's in Nashville with my honey. We had tickets, I had purchased my dress and even allowed myself to get excited, but then the reality of our lifestyle set in...
We can never plan anything in advance!
As a 1st anniversary present, Bryan surprised me with tickets to the CMA's. (click here)
I was stunned. What a thoughtful gift - just perfect for a diehard country fan, such as myself!
But alas, reality set in about a month ago and we came to terms with the fact that we would not be able to attend. I'm sad to say that Bryan sold our tickets. He felt horrible doing so, and we both held our breath for as long as we could, hoping that a miracle would happen and we'd be able to attend. No miracle happened, so we are forced to stick with our work commitments and watch the CMA's from our hotel room.
Wah Wah Waaaah...
Although he shouldn't, Bry feels awful. His gift to me was an amazing one -- one that I'll never forget! Our marriage and life together is based on living fully and creating lasting memories, and this would have been one memory to never forget. But we don't always get what we want in life. This year I will not be attending the CMA's with my husband by my side, but he has promised me that I will be at the CMA's live in Nashville sometime down the road...
that is a really cool gift! and because I feel you guys really do live your lives to the fullest, I'm sure you'll actually get there. : )
ReplyDeleteAh that is sad. :( Have a hotel room party and enjoy watching it with your hubby.
ReplyDeleteand whwen you do come we'll have to partake in a little meet and greet ;)
ReplyDeletethat is one awesome gift, sorry ya'll can't go! hope one day ya make it there!
ReplyDeleteThis was an amazing gift! I'm so sorry you guys can't go. I agree with Alison and think you two should have a hotel party and watch it!
ReplyDeleteWOW! That was an amazing gift. Sorry you can't go. A hotel party does sound fun!!!
ReplyDeleteOh boo!! That stinks big time. You two should still get all gussied up, go to dinner and then watch it together in your room (atleast that way you can boo all the people you don't like and not get kicked out!)
ReplyDeleteGirl that is my dream to go to those too. It'll happen next year for you I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteoh no! I remember you posting about that a while back. what an amazing night it would have been. BUT now you can still make it a special night in your hotel room with Bryan. Some take out, some drinks, and singing along with all the artist ;)
ReplyDeleteOne day you WILL be there in person with Bryan by your side :)
aw, so sad. i'm sorry y'all couldn't go. but i'm with Bryan...one day you both will be going together to the CMA's.
ReplyDeleteDon't judge, but that post brought tears to my eyes. You are so appreciative even with the disappointment. I hope one day that you two will go!
ReplyDeleteOh no! That stinks...I would have LOVED to go. My friends and I had a country night before we went out on Saturday night. We were singing in dancing in my friend's apartment. Neighbors were probably ready to kill us. No one listens to country in NYC, they don't even have a country station!
ReplyDeleteDarn Work!! BOOHOO!
ReplyDeleteOh Bummer.... But at least you are together in your hotel room.... I'm sure you will be able to go another time!!
ReplyDeleteHe is pretty good at gift buying I must say!!
Oh man i'm sorry that you guys won't be able to go :( That was such a sweet gift! Oh well, maybe next year? :)
ReplyDeletebooooo, but props to the hubby for that amazing gift! you all will have to have your own lil CMA party tonight. this is a big dream of mine too...perhaps we should just go together :-)
ReplyDeleteAwww, what a sweet gift! I'm sure you're totally bummed out but, fingers crossed that you guys will be able to go together in the future! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you couldn't go, however, I know you will enjoy it in the future!
ReplyDeleteWhy couldn't you attend?!?!
ReplyDeleteOk Bryan TOTALLY gets husband points for that gift! I would completely pee myself if Beau bought CMA tix for me.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand...I am SO sad for you friend!! I can't imagine being SO excited and then SO let down!! Dang it!! Oh well-looks like you'll get another chance to go down the road. :) Y'all totally have to make it up to yourselves!! xoxo
That's right, keep your head up! They happen every year, it has to work out at some point!
ReplyDeleteI was JUST talking to JR last night and told him I thought you were going to these or the CMT's but couldn't remember which. I figured since I hadn't heard you talk about it, you weren't going :( Next time we'll all go together because it's on my bucket list too.
ReplyDeletedisappointment is here and being let down to such a great event like the CMAs but honoring your work commitment is much more honoring and by you as a couple sticking to that some much more of your character, and you two have a lifetime together, the CMAs will come again
