| On our way to the Red Carpet |
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a whirlwind past couple of weeks filled with travel, family, and one particularly exciting event... the American Music Awards! So, I will fill you in on some of the highlights of our awards weekend.
Our first event of the weekend was to watch the rehearsal for the show. It was so fun to see how the show comes together from behind the scenes. We watched Katy Perry rehearse for about an hour, and I'm pretty sure I could sing her Fireworks song backwards and forwards after that :) We also watched Train rehearsing Soul Sister.
The next event was the American Music Awards 2010 kickoff party which was a bowling event for charity. I had relatively low expectations for this especially because I am pretty much the world's worst bowler, no kidding... I was on a team with Lance Bass from NSYNC, so I got to hang out with him for a few hours, and it ended up being REALLY fun! I was in good company with my lack of bowling skills, but no one cared, we were just having a good time. My husband was on the bowling team with Michael Welch who played Mike Newton in the Twilight series of movies.

Finally the big event! We walked the red carpet and loved every minute of it (except the COLD weather!!). We were able to see most of the big names on the red carpet, but unfortunately it became so crowded that it was hard to see who was around us. I found this especially funny as I was looking through pictures from the red carpet and noticed that my husband took a picture of me with Heidi Klum and the Black Eyed Peas were in the background literally right behind us but I didn't even realize it at the time because it was so crowded!

The show was AMAZING!!!! We were in the 3rd row-- such awesome seats! The energy was great, the performances were great; what an experience! To be able to witness up close the talent that some of these performers have just blew me away. I have to say I wasn't really into Justin Bieber before-- I thought his Baby song was cute and that's about it. Well, after seeing his performance, I think I caught the Bieber Fever-- what a talented kid! I was a little bit disappointed with Taylor Swift's performance... I guess I expected more. One of my favorite performances of the night would be the finale-- NKOTBSB (New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys). Part of what made this a favorite for me was the energy of the crowd-- practically everyone was standing up singing and dancing along to their blend of songs.
