So Matt's cousin is married to a country music songwriter. How cool is that?! He is the main songwriter and executive producer for Brad Paisley. But he has also written songs for Darius Rucker, Josh Turner, Lee Ann Womack & Blake Shelton(maybe more?). He's had over 20 songs hit top 20 and several #1 hits. He has even won song writer of the year!
Both Chris & Shanna are EXTREMELY gracious, kind, giving people who I enjoyed getting to know better over the weekend. We are wanting to plan a trip some time to go visit their neck of the woods in Nashville. I'm ready to go now! ;)
So, anyway, they were coming to Ft. Worth and invited the cousins to tag along! We made our way to Ft. Worth & got to see Jerrod Nieman & Wade Bowen. We were able to get on Jerrod's bus and check out all the pre-show stuff and see how he "lives" while on the road. It was a super cool experience and we are so thankful to Chris & Shanna for inviting us! Here are some pics from the trip!

Headed to Ft. Worth....my honey surprised me with new boots!
I LOVE them and they are exactly what I would've picked out!
Friday night backstage with Jerrod Niemann
Jerrod put on an AWESOME show.
If you ever get a chance to see him, GO! It was very entertaining!

Matt & I with Wade Bowen.
His show was not as "rockin" as Jerrod's, but still great!
I enjoyed visiting with him...he has 2 little boys and we got to talk golf. It was fun!
I LOVE this man! We had SUCH a great time.
We missed our Owen boy but had a ton of fun with it just being us.
We need to do this more often!
Many thanks to Aunt Bekah & Uncle Michael and Nonna & Poppa
for taking such great care of our little boy so we could get away!
