Happy Valentine's Day

2 weeks ago:
Chad- "My mom is coming the weekend of the 18th to watch the kids.  Don't make any plans."

Me- "Where are we going?"
Chad- "I'm not telling.  It's a surprise, but it's for Valentine's Day."

1 week ago:
Me-"Where are going?  Can you give me any hints?"
Chad- "I'm not telling you.  It's a surprise.  It takes between 3 and 3 1/2 hours to get there."

So, my guesses were:
Kansas City:  but, why?
Oklahoma city:  but, why?

5 days ago:  
my guesses were:
*a KU game- but he said he would be packing a sports shirt.  And he wasn't going to pack a sports shirt.
*we were going to fly somewhere.  But, that wasn't right either.

3 days ago:  Chad tells me that I need to just wear something I would wear on a date.  I'm thinking, "A date that's 3 hours away?"

Yesterday:  Chad and I got in the car.  We drove towards Oklahoma City.  I'm on my phone looking up place we could be going to.  Until he turns onto another highway headed towards Tulsa.  I get back on my phone and look up concerts in Tulsa for the weekend.  And THIS is what I found.
 My mouth FELL TO THE FLOOR!
I told Chad about a month ago that I'd love to go to this:  Cirque De Soleil:  Michael Jackson World Tour. 
 He is so good to me. 
One of my Bucket List events was to go to a Michael Jackson concert, and since that can't happen anymore, this was the next best thing!  I was amazing seeing all the dancers dressed like him, dancing like him, and the music was AH-MAZING!

I couldn't take any pictures during the show, but this was how high we were!

Chad's family can tell you how much I love heights (because of a ski lift experience I had at the zoo once in Omaha), so when we got up to our seats I was in tears and starting to have a panic attack.  But, I talked myself out of it fairly quickly and the more people came to sit in front of me, the calmer I became.  I busied myself with trying to get a good picture of this.  Didn't work.
 It was fun to see all of the Michael Jackson look-alikes.  The cutest was this little girl.  I wish I got a better picture, but she was pretty attached to her mom by the end of the show.  
The hat.
The glove on the back of her vest.
The sparkly socks.
The black shoes.
 This was such an awesome surprise!
Something I will remember for a LONG time!
