Weekend with Jenny

Wife, mother of 2 and busy as all get out with life. That is Jenny. But guess who made the time to come and spend a weekend with her ridiculous single friend and see U2 together for the 3rd time? Yup, Jenny again. She is the greatest friend a girl can have. She always makes me feel important and is a constant source of encouragement. So a Jenny weekend was just what the doctor ordered.

She lived in DC as a kid and stressed that she did not need to be entertained and that she just wanted to hang out and enjoy our time together. And that is exactly what we did. Movies, laughing, talking, eating, walking the neighborhood or the Memorials at night, and just being together. It was such a kickback, relaxing, girls weekend- topped off with U2 in DC. Icing on the cake.
Sporting our memorabilia from the last tour where we saw U2 in St. Louis (poor Eric had Dental School finals and you can't just let a U2 ticket go to waste. So of course I jumped on a plane from Phoenix and 36 hours later was coming home from a whirlwind trip with Jenny) and gearing up for FedExField.
I love this lady. Friend since Freshman year at BYU, nearly a decade ago...where does the time go?
We had to get our energy up with a quick sugar fix before the show. Baskin Robbins answered the call.
Sunsetting atop FedExField.

It was freezing (we didn't realize it was an outside venue..haha) and so a U2 sweatshirt became a necessity.

Keeping warm and counting down until the Greatest Band in the World made their entrance.

U2 360 Stage. It was a space theme. Awesome.

Bono!! I was screaming like a little girl. I cannot get enough of this man...as the next post will prove ;).
Thanks for coming Jenny, you can come anytime, even if Bono isn't with you!

Aww, shucks! I hope you know I would come see you without a live music incentive. I think you're that awesome...
