MICHAEL BUBLE CONCERT

Back in June, Ashley told me that 

MICHAEL BUBLE

was coming to Salt Lake to do a concert.

She loves him!

Then she said, she had never been to a concert before!

I like Michael Buble, too.

I told Ashley that she had a birthday coming up, and Christmas.

I decided to treat her to her first concert!

(I have been to America, Bread, Captain & Tenille, Osmonds, 

Barry Manilow, Cher & The Village People, Tina Turner,

Mannheim Steamroller, and Neil Diamond...about 6 times! and several dinner shows in Vegas)

And, since it was her first, we were going to do it up BIG!

Our tickets were the first row up from the floor. 

If you sit on the floor, people stand up, and then you can't see!

 It was a long wait!

The tickets came in June, and the concert was

November 19.

The exciting day finally came!

We went to dinner at a favorite place of mine, 

that Ashley had never been to...

I LOVE this place!
It's in Draper, and has been there for 25 years!
My mom and I love to go there...we've had a
"Last Day of School" faculty luncheon there...and
Sara and Fred love to eat there when the come up from Las Vegas!

When you would get off the Draper Crossroads exit,
you used to be able to see it, and drive right to it.
Now, even though it's in the same location, you have to hunt
for it because of how big Draper has become!


When we got to the concert, 
we had to get our picture taken with Michael!
(Thanks, Ashley Vance)

So, here is Michael Buble in concert!
(I only wish he had sung some Christmas songs!)

Waiting for the show to start.

 It looks like Ashley enjoyed her first concert!
