Piano Man

This weekend, the four of us traveled to South Bend, IN to see Billy Joel perform in concert at the University of Notre Dame!  This entire experience was WAY outside of my comfort zone, but I'm so incredibly grateful that we did this!  I had written about this all the way back in 2019, and after two years of COVID delays, it finally happened this weekend.  My sister had found us a house to stay in that was a mile from campus, so we were able to walk (and I was grateful that it was a safe walk) to and from the concert, and we were even able to take our sweet pup (she's had quite a summer as well).  My sister was sitting with the kids, which they all enjoyed, and I was grateful that Andrew and I were just a few rows back, but almost like we were on a date!  It was an AMAZING concert.  He sounds exactly like he has sounded on the radio for all those years.  My sister was with us for just about 16 hours, so it was really a nice bonding trip for the four of us...although we did enjoy our time with her as well.  I'll never forget getting to hear him sing "Piano Man" or "We Didn't Start the Fire" or "Uptown Girl" or "Only the Good Die Young."  And of course, to be able to experience it in Notre Dame Stadium on a gorgeous weather night was even more spectacular.  It's been an incredible month!  I can't lie though, I'm looking forward to some time at home!
