we owned the night.

wednesday night we celebrated my sister turning the big 3-2 with some good old fashion country music.

darius rucket and lady antebellum (HOOTIE HOO!)

it was the best.
and with our amazing seats courtesy of calley's fiance, i definitely felt spoiled.

we arrived just in time to get in on some hootie goodness.

i know, i know.

he's like darius rucker now or something.

but he will always be hootie to me.

we had to take some group photos before lady a came out.

we're all pretty cute, but i think lysh and rachel take the cake with their adorable preggo stomachs. 

and because of them we got a better parking spot:)

soon enough, they dimmed the lights and lady a took the stage.

from that moment on, it was magical.

and about halfway through the night, they even let us come right up to the stage.

and i touched dave haywood's hand!!!! 

(and yes, i definitely felt like a crazy, love sick teenager as i was screaming and falling over people to touch him...wow). 

and when hootie came back to sing a song with them, calley touched his hand.

and i think she cried:)

this was definitely one of my top five favorite concerts.

from the lights and screens to their incredible talent to sharing the night with my sister...

it was a perfect reminder of why i love live music so much.

there is nothing quite like it.
