This year was definitely a different experience for me, since just a few hours prior to leaving for ACL, I decided to take a pregnancy test...
I just had a feeling that I might be pregnant, and I couldn't bear the thought of binge drinking my way through the day with that question in the back of my mind! It definitely made for a different experience being one of the few sober ones allllll day long at this festival, but I would rather have this hopeful news any day!
Because ACL Festival is a prime experience for Frank to show up, there was no way that we could keep this secret from my parents. The second I would have declined a beer, the news would be out. (Pretty sad to say, maybe?!), so we told my parents that morning. Nothing planned or special. I just blurted out something like "...so I had a positive pregnancy test this morning..." Their reactions were kind of funny in that they didn't really know what to say or how to react. It is obviously very, very early in this process, and given our history, it's sort of a touchy subject to get too emotionally invested in early on! I believe my dad referenced wanting to put me in a bubble now.
David and I spent a majority of our morning and early afternoon in the Grove, as we couldn't walk away from our beloved Rangers. Or free food, drinks, seating, and shade.
I did venture out eventually to see Leon Bridges and was glad that I did!
The nighttime lineup was right up our alley with Gary Clark Jr and Foo Fighters!
I have a been a little bit of a Foo Fighters fan, but their show tonight really made me like them (I saw them, but really referring to just David Grohl!) even more! Such high energy and plenty of songs through the years that I didn't realize I knew.
Until next year (or maybe a few more years again), ACL!
