I can't believe I just did that

It was announced in February of 2011 that Taylor would be playing Arrowhead Stadium on September 24th of that year. As season ticket holders for the Kansas City Chiefs, I was able to get pre-sale tickets. I invited my sister-in-law Toni and my two nieces, Sam & Ava. I wanted so badly for both of them to meet Taylor. I began working on doing just that. This time I fell a little bit short. I was able to secure one meet and greet pass. A mixture of thoughts crossed my mind. "Which niece do I give it to?" "Should I use it myself so that I don't cause problems or play favorites to either of my nieces?" "Do I give it to my sister-in-law?" I finally decided that I would not use it myself. I needed to stick to my rule of trying to take someone new to meet Taylor. Although I could not go with Sam into the meet and greet room, I did get to accompany her backstage. I sent Sam with a letter to give to Taylor. I don't know whether or not Taylor received the letter, but I do know that Sam returned without the letter and instead a HUGE smile on her face. I knew right then that I had made the right decision. Sam was so excited she could barely talk! Thinking about that day makes me smile.

Taylor Swift & Samantha Dark

We had a great time at the concert! It was honestly the best concert I have ever been to! Very entertaining! I also had the chance to meet both of Taylor's parents. I had never met her mother before. Andrea and I talked for a little while near the sound booth in the middle of the stadium. I told her about the first time that I met Taylor and what a great role model she has been for thousands of young girls including my two nieces. I thanked her for raising such a great daughter.
