Idol Wrap Up

April 21, 2011 by Courtney 21 Comments

So you will have to bear with me! I am exhausted today. I am so thankful that my kiddos actually slept in until 7:45 as the adventure to American Idol was a whirlwind. To be honest, I was really just looking forward to a great day with good friends doing something out of the ordinary. It ended up being amazing. We got super lucky and ended up with front row seats. What what? Such a thrill to be right at the stage while the contestants were performing and also great fun to be so close to the judges and see what goes on behind the scenes {lots of make up touch ups!!!}. Everyone involved on the show was extremely nice. We were really impressed. No cameras were allowed, but here is a screen shot taken by the one and only Michelle from Ten June!!! I am the one in the striped dress. idol Here are are couple more screen shots that people sent me last night! IMG_0622IMG_0624 I plan to get back into the swing of things today. Unfortunately, my to do list did not magically shrink while I was in LA. Darn it! Time to get crackin’ for Easter and my daughter’s fifth birthday {I guess my 15 minutes of fame are over}! Thanks for letting me share.
