My life is NEVER this good!

[LikeAWillow]

Alright, none of you will probably care about this *LOL*, but I am having the best night of my life...period. *And yes, this is very Stevie related * I'll start at the beginning: At around 12:30 am, when most normal people were sleeping, I, being the slight insomniac that I am, decided to go downstairs and watch Stevie Nicks Behind the Music. Well a half hour into the dvd, we are at 1:00 now, my dad came home. He sat down on the couch with me, looked at the screen and looked at me for awhile. I guess he was thinking that this was the second night in a row that he had come home to me sitting there staring off into my little Stevie Nicks world *LOL*. So he turned to me and asked me where Stevie was right now *like on her tour*, so I said that I had no idea, all I knew was that she had recently been in Coloroda. Then he told me to go upstairs on the computer and find out where she was going to be next week. Now, I'm leaving out parts of the conversation, but it was basically just him saying that Stevie looks nothing like she used to, and me going my usual over-defensive ways and saying that she is the most gorgeous woman alive . So after looking up the tour dates, I come back down stairs, and tell my dad that Stevie is going to be in L.A. on Tuesday. He just kinda stared off into space and was like "L.A....wow..." So I just kinda stood there on the stairs waiting to see where this was all leading, and then he said to me, "Marissa, go back online and book us a trip to California, I know that you want to see her more than anything" By this time, it was 2 in the morning *LOL*, and I was, and still am, in complete shock. My dad is not rich, far from it, but he is paying an insane amount of money *and trust me, I know, I booked the trip* to take me from Pittsburgh, Pennslyvania to Los Angeles, California, just so I can see Stevie one more time. I also should make it clear that my dad is not some saint, far from it, but for some reason, he actually understands how much Stevie means to me. So my friends, come Monday afternoon, my father and I will be boarding a plane for the first time in our lives *that's right, we've never flown*, and going 3,000 miles so I can see my hero one last time. Oh and just to keep up with the times *LOL*, it's 5:11 am here and I'm too excited to sleep, I do feel a little bad about calling my friend at 4:00 and gabbing about it for an hour though *L*

CONGRATS MARISSA! That's rockin'


If your dad doesn't want to go, just let me know. I'm an hour from the airport.

[StevieNicksEO17]

Awww. Apparently your dad had a good day. LOL

I'm so happy for you! I bet you'll have an amazing time!!

You just couldn't hold out for three tickets instead of two so you could bring your close friend Jake along, could you, always thinking of yourself.
Seriously, I hope you guys have a great time.
But should he get into one of these generous moods tomorrow night, it might be nice to think of this post.

Wow that is such a lovely thing for your dad to do, so sweet! I actually got a little tear in my eye when I read that.
Honestly this is something you will remember forever!
Have a fab time Marissa

Wouldn't we all like that?! I know I would, I've never gotten to see Stevie in concert

I don't blame you, I would be reacting the same exact way... can't sleep and gab with some for LONGER than an hour!!! Your dad obviously sees how much you love Stevie AND he approves! He probably remembers something about her from years ago and maybe knows that she's become quite the positive role model. Good role models are important for young people to have. YAY DAD!! Anyway, have a great time in LA. Stevie Loves LA... so it should be a fabulous performance. Looking forward to hearing all about it when you get back.

Laura

PS: LAX is one of the busier airports, it's big but well laid out. You might want to get online and print out a map of the airport, mapquest, etc. to help you get around. But you've already done that, right? I'm really excited for you!

Thank you so much everyone! You'll all be in my mind the whole time *and hey, if I had the money, I'd take all of you with me!*

Thanks for the advice on the airport Laura!
