So, I'm at Purdue this weekend for Dan's birthday (the 19th) and it has really been a stress reliever for me. I mean, being with Dan always makes me feel better, but I especially needed it this weekend.
The most important thing about this weekend though, was that Dan's birthday went well. I had a few surprises for him, and it was definitely worth the effort. Just seeing the look on his face made this whole weekend perfect. We also went to the Purdue men's basketball game today against Illinois. It was seriously the most fun I've had in awhile. It totally reminded me of how much I like watching basketball (just not the NBA). Towards the end of the game, the band started playing Livin' on a Prayer by Bon Jovi...it's a tradition at the games....this also explains the title of this entry. Ha.
The best part about Bon Jovi is that his songs really bring back memories for me. Yes, many of his songs were recorded before I was born, or at least old enough to understand the music, but there's still just something about it. I think the main reason I have this connection is because of the concert I went to in Chicago during his Have a Nice Day tour. Yes, the concert was amazing, but that's not why I have such fond memories. You see, this concert was right before the start of my freshman year, just a week or two after orientation. I ended up taking a girl I met on campus during that time to the concert with me...even though we barely knew each other. She is now one of my best friends, and it all seems to go back to that. It really is amazing how a simple meeting can turn into such a great friendship.
Anyway, Dan is standing over me ready to go to bed, and since it's close to 3 a.m., I think bed sounds like a pretty good idea. Goodnight!
