I ran 13.1 miles in the Miami ING 1/2 Marathon as part of the Team Challenge Program, to raise funds for the Chron's and Colitis Foundation of America. It was a life changing experience in so many ways. Here are the photos from our race weekend. Enjoy!

Kristin and Bailey came to visit us over Thanksgiving. The kids all had fun playing together. Check out the pictures...Bailey is 3, Rachel is 4 and Luke is 6 in the pics

Amazing show! I had a meet and greet with the guys this time...and it was equally amazing. I gave the guys armbands that say "Kids Get Arthritis Too" and "Cure Crohn's and Colitis" and they all put them on during the M&G. Joe Don actually wore both armbands onstage the entire show! Lots of Joe Don luv during the M&G and show too!

Won tix to Ribfest in St Pete...little did I know until the week before that the tix also included Eat and Greet passes with the Zac Brown Band!! Zac and crew cook for a few lucky fans backstage and spend about an hour hanging out. No pics were allowed backstage, but Zac was super sweet...spent about 15+ minutes with us at our table talking to us about Rachel and we talked about nutrition, juicing, you name it! Really down to earth and honesty nice guy. Love Zac!!!
The show was amazing...3-1/2 hours of non-stop rocking out!!! If you ever get a chance to catch ZBB live...do not hesitate. The entire band are extremely talented musicians. We even got to meet Zac's friends and fellow musicians Sonia Leigh and Nic Cowan, who joined Zac on stage at various points during the show...they sat with us at our table during the eat and greet...great people and very talented too.

On the road to Columbus, Georgia with the girls
In our hotel room, watching Rascal Flatts on CSI, making signs for the show the next day and dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse...yummy!

Rascal Flatts at the Columbus Civic Center, Columbus, Georgia
Dani and I had 2nd row, JD's side...4 seats from the catwalk!! Yeah BABY!!!
We made signs for the guys and they saw almost every one. Dani made one that said "JD take a pic with me please" He saw it and nodded and smiled at her, but security was very tight and he couldn't get to her to get a stage pic. JD & Jay both saw my sign "@rascalflatts You are our entertainer of the decade!" JD pointed at it, smiled, touched his hands to his heart and mouthed to me "Thank you!" I said thank you back and got another big smile and lots of guitar jammin'! Then I held up a special sign for Chank "Chank, Maggie has her wings and is flying on your every note" He nodded, came over to the end of the stage and played some nice fiddle notes for us & Maggie when he saw the sign. JD loved the sign I made him "Hooked on JDR" BIG grin and another guitar serenade from him for that one. :)
Was so glad that the guys added "Church on Cumberland Road" to their setlist. They totally rock out this song...it is one of my favorite covers that they do. Just love it and I enjoy hearing them do it live.

We had row 3, JD's side seats for this show at The Wharf Amphitheatre....Jenn & I also had meet & greets with the guys.
We used the same signs we did in Columbus, except I had an extra one for Chank..."Chank for ACM President" that I held up during Fast Cars and Freedom. JDR came over and was singing FCAF to me and Dani "Staring at you....taking off your makeup..." He saw the sign first, laughed, poked Chank with his elbow and they both had a good chuckle about it. You'll see the pic of them both cheesing for pics with the orange background. Chank later tweeted me that they thought it was funny. Jay and JD also saw and loved again the Entertainers of the Decade sign. We had such a blast at this show. The guys sang "Church on Cumberland Road" again...one of my alll time favorites....and they added "Sweet Home Alabama" Rocked IT!!!!

The lighting was a bit strange at this outdoor venue...so not as happy with these pics as Columbus.

We attended the taping of 2 episodes of The Ellen Show at Universal Studios City Walk in Orlando, FL. Our main motivation for attending? To see our favorite guys in the universe, Rascal Flatts, perform! We got front row, center spots for their performance...even though we got drenched from the rain, it was so worth the 7 hours standing on our feet to secure those prime spots! LOVE THESE GUYS! Ellen rocks too!
We also got to see Usher perform. Usher show airs 4/1/2010 and Rascal Flatts show airs 4/2/2010. Watch for us! :)

Alan Jackson, Chris Young & Josh Turner....
We had front row seats for this amazing show...the opening show for the Freight Train Tour.
I stood right in front of AJ at the edge of the stage for the entire show...and got an AJ hand grab and guitar pick!! Love AJ!
