I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND

Husband loves concerts! A die hard 80′ fan, husband worships George Michael. In fact, we battle over which XM stations while driving together in the car. A lover of the 80′s channel, I much prefer 70′s or current hits. Either way, we love to go to concerts together. In fact, our second date was a to a Ricky Martin concert and I definitely questioned our future when I watched him gyrating his hips not in my direction. Nearly ten years later, we still attend concerts and are in the process of creating mini rock stars out of our boys. Point and shoot interests for the kids. It would be pretty cool to watch our kids as mini Timberlakes entertaining concert venues all over the world. Keep dreaming Mama!

Three months ago, husband and I went to see Lady Gaga. I confess, I am a huge fan and decided to dress as Gaga for the concert- platinum bangs and sky high stilettos! Husband and friends laughed at my get-up! As we entered the concert hall and walked down the aisle to our seats, my focus was on the people in the audience. Suddenly, I tripped and flew to the ground smashing my knees and flattening my Gaga bangs. Instead of Husband rushing to my side to pick me up, he stood there laughing and pointing at me. “I told you that your shoes were too high!” Luckily, my loyal friend LZ picked me up and brushed me off! Needless to say, I was not into my husband that night!

Two nights ago, we were fortunate to be invited to Kings of Leon concert at The Hollywood Bowl. I love, love, love Kings of Leon. Husband agreed to attend because off all of the times I took it for his music team. I wore flatter (not flat) shoes and managed to stay upright as we looked for the seats. I was watching my husband sway to “my” music and I had a love burst! I wrapped my arms around his waist and held his hand, so happy to be with him. As I held his familiar hand, it hit me that I truly do want to hold only his hand forever whether it is at an AHA concert, Metallica concert, or the weddings of our children. “Sex on Fire” is just the icing on the cake!
