My dear friends, Brenda and Tige totally surprised a lot of people a few weeks ago. They invited me and 7 of their best friends to join them for dinner at PF Changs on a Thursday night. Normally I don't do a lot of socializing on a "school night," but they were very insistent that this was a celebration and they wanted me to be there. Of course, they wouldn't tell me what the big celebration was, so I HAD to go - curiosity got the best of me.
One by one we all arrived at the restaurant and began speculating as to what the whole gathering was about. We wondered if they were pregnant, or maybe they were moving away....none of our theories were plausible, but made for good small talk. Then our hosts arrived and we were seated. We could all tell they couldn't stand it any longer and were dying to fill us in on the big secret - which they did right away.
They had bought all of us tickets to the Michael Buble concert that evening. I've never been more surprised. We all were. I can't tell you what a fun dinner and concert we had. I've loved Michael's music since I first heard him but had never seen him in concert. The tickets had sold out almost immediately after they were released, so I knew my chances of seeing him would be slim.
So to not only see him, but to see him for FREE was amazing. What great friends I have. I want to be that kind of friend....one who looks for ways to do the unexpected and spares no expense to give others a memory they might never have had.

He is coming here to Sac in about a month to Arco Arena and I will be going to see him. His voice is just incredible. So smooth. Seems like every one of his concerts sell out. Sounds like you had an awesome evening. Just one question.... did you try the lettuce wraps at Changs? LOL
The first time I went I tried the lettuce wraps, but then I wasn't hungry for my main course afterward.
Whoa! I don't think an evening could be more perfect! I LOVE Chang's (spicy chicken, low mein, garlic noodles, brocoli with ginger sauce....the whole menu is fabulous!) and to top it off with such a concert, well, WOW. Starbucks on the way home and it would have been overdose.
Marty, you deserve such wonderful friends. Glad you had such a great night.
