Rascal Flatts in Hartford CT. <3

August 24th can be proclaimed the best day of my life. Why? I. Met. Rascal.
Flatts!  I found out a month before that date, and unfortunately, this meant
we would be going to Hartford. Oh well. One more concert for me!

Because my dad told me it would be great to give them Hershey Bars wrapped
by Carson, I figured... heck, why not, so I designed the wrapper and it came
out perfectly.

We made the trip to Hartford Ct. and arrived at the Dodge Music Center at 2 PM the first ones in line!  5 hours standing in the heat, they opened the gates and I made my way backstage.  There were some that had meet and greets with Jason Aldean who opened up for Rascal Flatts, and he is also great to see.

My time came for my meet and greet, so I went up to Gary first, considering he was the closest.

Gary: Hey!
Me: Hi Gary!

Hug. <333

Me: I came all the way from Cincinnati just to see you guys.

Gary: Really, that's great.

Me: Here. *hands box to Gary of my custom designed wrapped Hershey's bars*  I have a box, it's your present.

Gary: A box?

Me: Well, there's stuff inside of it, of course! It's a little heavy, hope
you don't mind.

JOE DON... my favorite .. AHHHHHHHHH.

Me: Hi!

Joe Don: Hey, babe, how you doin'?

Me: I'm really good.

HUUUUUUUUUUG. <333333333

So, then I go to Jay.

Me: Hey Jay!
Jay: Heyyyy.

Hug. <3

So of course I go back in between Gary and Joe Don, just do a simple little
stand-there-and-smile picture, which of course, I do NOT mind. Joe Don told
me "Come here baby," which of course, about made me die of happiness.
And at last minute. I turn to Joe Don. I CANNOT believe I said
this but man, I am so glad this came out of my mouth.

Me: I like you the most.
Joe Don: Haha.
Me: Just thought I'd let you know that!
Joe Don: Awh, well, thanks for letting me know, babe.

This lead to a.

Oh, you can guess it by now.

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. AHHHHHH. <3333333333333333

See a pattern there?

Unfortunately, at this time, I had to say goodbye to the guys. It was a
moment I'll never forget. And according to a secret source (haha), the candy
made it onto the guys' bus! I really appreciated their kindness, and I was
getting way too much love during the concert.

When can I see them again?  Stay tuned...
