I should have done this post a week ago, but I kept forgetting.. oops!
But yeah..
Last Friday, I traveled down to Liverpool to go and see Peter Andre in concert, along with The Rise (a band I've been talking to on twitter for ages, check them out @theriseofficial), The Risk, who were on x factor a few years ago, and Sam Gray.
I was so anxious (see previous post), I honestly didn't think I was going to make it, BUT I did, and I'm so glad I went, it was the best weekend in a long time.
So on the Friday after my dad and my step-mum picked me up and we picked up my best friend, April, we headed over to by dads new house near Chester, as we were staying there after the concert. My anxiety was more or less fine once we were on our way. But we went to my dads house, literally threw all our stuff in, then carried on down to Liverpool.. anxiety and everything was manageable.
We got to the arena, went in and found our seats. We were really early though, so me and April went downstairs to meet a lovely girl I'd been speaking to on twitter, another fellow Andre fan, called Beth. My anxiety began to rise when I knew I was about to meet her, like what if she didn't like me etc, but we got on really well, and her friends were lovely too. We had a long chat and a fan girl moment about seeing Pete, then we went our separate ways to our seats again, after a chat.
The Rise came on stage and I thought I was going to faint. haha. I was so happy to see them. They were amazing just as I'd expected. They completely smashed it! After The Rise had done their set, The Risk came on.. They weren't as good as The Rise, but they were ok! ;). then after the Risk, Sam Gray was coming on. April & I sat through like half of his first song, then had a text off Beth saying that The Rise were apparently downstairs, so we left half way through Sam and went to meet Mike and Ant (The Rise). I was really anxious about meeting them as I'd been speaking to them for so long on twitter, I was like 'what if they don't like me?' hahaha, but they were really really nice guys! Stood and spoke with them for a while, until it was almost time for Pete to come on, then me & April went back to our seats.
Pete, was AMAZING. I loved seeing him so much. I was so happy. He was just perfect! The way everything was set out, the way he involved the crowd in most songs, getting everyone up to sing and dance, it was just perfect.
After Pete, it was time to go.. We went back down to the doors, and saw The Rise to say bye, then met up with Beth again.. We were all going to go and see Pete in his hotel, but when we got outside, it was white with snow, so decided against the idea, and went home before we got stranded in Liverpool. It took us like 2 and a half hours to get home instead of 40 minutes, although we did stop for a McDonald's..!
Overall it was such a great night. I just want to go and relive it all again. I'm so happy I didn't have any major panic attacks and I coped so well!
On the Saturday we slept most of the morning, but when we got up, my step-mum decided to take me and April into Chester to do some shopping. I was quite anxious about this, I'm not sure why though. I could feel my anxiety rising as time went on before we left, but once we left it was fine. It was so good to have a girly afternoon out shopping. It's something that doesn't happen often! It was such good fun, and I got a few really nice things.
After shopping, we went back, got our stuff, and came home.. well I went to my dads other house, near my mums. We went back, and sorted a few more wedding invites out and then I decided to come back to my mums as I was so tired.
Overall it was such a good weekend. I'm so glad I went. I was so happy.
