Rascal Flatts was a success in all its country boy band glory! It made me SO EXCITED for the upcoming Kenny Chesney concert in two weeks!!!!!! Yehaww!

You’ve gotta love country concerts…..take this lovely truck complete with a beer funnel for instance—

And I got to wear my favorite boots!

So, we sort of felt like we were the oldest ones there but it was still fun. We totally dressed up in cute dresses and boots and went “YEHAWWW!”

Before the concert we walked across the street and had a light dinner + glass of wine at The Wine Exchange. I had a glass of a super dry Riesling and DELICIOUS veggie quesadillas!

The quesadillas were awesome but were also about the size of my whole body. I ate two pieces and felt stuffed!! They were stuffed with veggies, grilled shrimp and a mix of feta and cheddar cheese. Yum!

I brought us some wine to-go (obviously)—

But unfortunately it was pretty gross and I didn’t drink my cup. It went out the window instead. Oh well.

Once AT the concert I bought one drink since they were $8 each! I ordered my standard “party drink”, which is vodka with soda and a splash of cranberry…..I sipped it super slow and made it last all night. Drinks at concerts (including water!!) are just waaaaay overpriced!!!

Unfortunately ALL the atm machines and credit card machines were down so instead of listening to Darius Rucker (from Hootie and the Blowfish!), Erin and I waited in the longest line possible to get some cash.

Now, I’m not going to even bring up how the drink 15 year old behind me spilled ranch dressing ALL over my chair. Yuck.

We still had a blast though and poor Derek must have felt a little out of his element with three screaming girls. He’s a good catch, Meghann!!

I honestly think the funniest thing was at the very end, during the encore, Erin started screaming her head off and some backstreet looking boy hopped on stage. Turned out it was Tim Tebow, who is basically a national celebrity here in Florida. He “hummed” a little bit with Rascal Flatts then tossed a football down. It was hysterical!

We got home around 11:30, and I’m not going to lie, there were a few bites of ice cream eaten straight from the container. I’m so crazy, right?!

This morning I woke up around 8:00 and made a yummy breakfast. About a cup of Oikos with Nature’s Path Granola, MojaMix and blueberries!

Dexter in his box—

And I’m about to head out the door for church! I hope everyone has a fantastic Sunday!

Looks like you had a great time! I love your dress, and Dexter in his box.

What a fun concert!!!!

Haha love that you had the ice cream straight from the container, doesn’t make me feel so bad for stirring up a batch of “vegan cheese” at midnight! I felt slightly weird about that

mmm, I love Edy’s mint chocolate chip ice cream. so refreshing on a hot night! my cat loves empty boxes (and laundry baskets) too – I don’t even know why we buy him toys…..

Country concerts are the BEST outdoors — good friends, good drinks, good music.

Ya’ll weren’t the oldest people there- my mom and aunt were there!!! I’m very jealous I missed Tebow again- he got up on stage at a Kenny Chesney concert I was supposed to go to too!
on 26 Jul 2009 at 9:58 am9Rebecca

I love your boots!! Glad you had a fun time!! Sorry the kid spilled dressing on your chair!
Dexter is amazing!

Loooooooooove the cowboy boots!!!!!!! I so want a pair
on 26 Jul 2009 at 10:04 am11Jean

Looks like a fun night! Your veggie quesidilla looks really good! I like RF, but I’m even more jealous of Darius Rucker. I just love that man’s voice! Probably because it reminds me of good times in High School with Hootie and the Blowfish!
on 26 Jul 2009 at 10:09 am12Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope

Glad you enjoyed your night despite the set backs. LOVE your outfit… those boots are too cute. And that quesadilla sure looks delicious. Get a good night’s rest!

What a fun time!!! I LOVE your dress! So darn cute.

Have a great day today, Jenna. Looks like the rain held off til this morning!

Jenna! Your dress (or is it a skirt & tanktop??) is ADORABLE. I love it! And the cowboy boots make it even better! Sorry to hear about the ranch though :/ Gross.

Nice dress. I would love it paired with jeans and a little jacket or sweater. Your breakfast looks good, too. I’m about to have almost the same, except I’ll use StoneyField Strawberry yogurt and Kashi Apple granola…yum
on 26 Jul 2009 at 10:29 am16Kristen

TIM TEBOW WAS THERE?!!!

AHHH!!

<3

Haha, I’m allowed to get all girly about our campus celebrity, right?
on 26 Jul 2009 at 10:32 am17Michelle Hisae

Concert food/drink is TOTALLY overpriced. It’s scary how much they up the prices!
on 26 Jul 2009 at 10:37 am18Stacey

Looks like tons of fun! I’m jealous, haha.
on 26 Jul 2009 at 10:54 am19JB

on 26 Jul 2009 at 11:57 am21Nina

Glad you had a great time. You’ll have to do a post about how to make one drink last the whole night . Your outfit was so cute!
on 26 Jul 2009 at 12:52 pm22Susan

LOVE your cowboy boots and your dress! I’ve always wanted a pair of cowboy boots, but they’re pretty rare here in Atlantic Canada
on 26 Jul 2009 at 1:05 pm23Kathy (Moving Beyond Perfection)

It looks you had so much fun!! Bummer about the disgusting ranch dressing though!
on 26 Jul 2009 at 1:13 pm24kailey

on 26 Jul 2009 at 1:31 pm25ShutupandRun

Jenna, I saw Kenny Chesney last night in Wyoming. It was GREAT so i know you will love your KC concert too. Also, I ate my very own bit of mint/choc cookie ice cream right out of the concert yesterday too. I think it tastes better that way for sure.

Glad you had a great time!

Your pic of Dexter made me laugh out loud! Cats are so funny!
on 26 Jul 2009 at 1:57 pm28katherine

Sweet! Hootie and the Blowfish was the first concert I ever went to. I can’t believe Darius is still singing? Does he have an album? Looks like one dang good time!
on 26 Jul 2009 at 1:58 pm29Courtney

Looks like you guys had a really good time!
on 26 Jul 2009 at 2:39 pm30Krissy - Single Serving

Looks like a great night!
And there is no shame in eating out of the ice cream container!
on 26 Jul 2009 at 2:42 pm31Pam

Looks like lots of fun! I’m secretly in love with cowboy boots! I want a red pair.

on 26 Jul 2009 at 3:06 pm33Jessica

Love your dress!!!! I’m wearing a very similar one out shopping today!

I always crave your mojamix when I see it on the blog!! I need to get myself some!
on 26 Jul 2009 at 3:16 pm34Lizzie

Jenna – you would freak out in my hometown. They have a 2 week country music festival every year and the population of our town/city triples for those two weeks (I am not kidding – you can’t get a hotel room and heaps of people end up camping on the river. My parents even started renting our bedrooms out!). They close off the main street, have line dancing, performers, markets etc. It’s insane – my husband might have had second thoughts on marrying me when his first visit there happened to coincide with the festival – hee hee!

Glad you had fun and relaxing time at the concert – you definitely deserved it!
on 26 Jul 2009 at 4:17 pm35Cait (Cait's Plate)

HAH! Love the boots Jenna – looks like you had a blast! And those quesadillas look AMAZING!
on 26 Jul 2009 at 4:48 pm36*Andrea*

on 26 Jul 2009 at 4:56 pm37FitFoodie

Tim Tebow?! Wow…I wish I was there! I would love to see his muscles up close, haha.

Looks like you had a great time! Vino & Country music are a match made in heaven
on 26 Jul 2009 at 6:05 pm38emily

ohmygoodness, that dress!!!
on 26 Jul 2009 at 6:53 pm39liza

I admire the balance in your life! I wish I had that self control with my attitude (I woulda screamed at that 15 year old), that food, and those club soda and vodkas..have you always been this way?
on 26 Jul 2009 at 7:11 pm40Katie (yes, I want cake)

Ooh! That dress/boots combo is super cute and it looks like you had so much fun!
