Just a little meeting with Tim McGraw

Sometimes I feel guilty about all the amazing experiences we have had since Cami was diagnosed a year ago.  A part of me feels silly posting about the parades, houses and shows Cami is featured in or the freebies and attention our family receives -all because Cami has cancer.  

But... then I get over it and remember that everything happens for a reason.

It is a fact that Cami is a magnet.  She has a zest for life that is contagious and people are naturally drawn to her.  We are so blessed that we have been surrounded by people who love us and want the best for our family.  I cant even begin to describe all of the many people who have come into our lives during this time, we know they didn't meet Cami by accident.  We know we needed certain people to get us through this time and maybe Cami was meant to touch them as well.  We have been carried through this ordeal by others, some family, some friends, others strangers.  

Each of them had a purpose and we can NEVER thank them enough.  

One of those people is a neighbor who moved in to our circle a few months ago.  Her name is Marilee.  Soon after moving in we found out that Marilee is a stand-in for Reese Witherspoon.  Reese flies her out to film movies and she has worked closely with not only Reese, but with many other celebrities over the years.  One of the celebrities Marilee worked with is Tim McGraw and she remained close with him after their movie wrapped.  

Tim found out that Marilee had moved into our circle and he was touched by Cami's story.  Marilee helped to set up a meeting at his concert.  We were given second row seats to his concert and as if that wasn't enough he threw in a meet and greet, and VIP pre-show passes! Tim was so sweet to all of us (especially Cami) and he was waving and winking at her all through his concert.  Rumor has it that Tim may be calling Cami one of these days to check up on her... how cool is that!?!

It was such an amazing experience and we are so grateful to Marilee for giving us this opportunity.  Cami is still talking about this fun night.  Thank you Marilee, we love you!

Here's our lil cowgirl.

 I bet you cant guess who doubles for Reese :)

Tyson (Marilee's son) and Cam.  

They are cute little buds.

Our other neighbors, Dennis and Debbie got to come too!

 The pre-show was so cool.  It was just a big tent set up with maybe 100 people invited to watch Tim and the band warm up.  They had free drinks and we felt very VIP.  Cami loved it!

Cami was so excited for the concert to start she could hardly contain herself!

Once it started, Cami and I got a little crazy... we just danced and sang the night away.

guess who was sitting right behind us?!  Donny Osmond.  

He LOVED Cami's dance moves...she had him charmed in no time!

(she had no idea who he was.. to her it was just another person to chat with)

Cami thought she was the famous one and that HE wanted his picture with HER!

 Tim put on an amazing show.  He was so generous to us and we are forever HUGE fans!

We love you TIM!!!

Here is our group with Tim.

Here is the video of Cami meeting Tim.  She gave him a picture she drew for him.  

I am told it is still hanging in his tour bus.  We have a famous little artist.
