Planning...

Something you will learn that I am absolutely, 100% TARABLE at. I was such an odd kid, I loved to go school supplies shopping. Each year I felt the need to invest in a planner, since I was such a busy middle schooler…not. And each year my mother and I would get in arguments on why this year would be different and that I would actually use it. The last planner I bought was in my last year of nursing school, I get home start to write out all my assignments because I was going to be "organized" and guess what….it was the wrong YEAR!! Oops!

However, I must say if the event that requires planning is really significant to me, I somehow turn into this OCD, detailed oriented superwoman and dedicate an abundance of time to plan for it. The event recently was not a wedding. Nope not engaged, nor even close. This event was THE ONE DIRECTION CONCERT. Now before you start passing judgement and quit reading. I am going to take a moment to defend myself. I am only 25-years-old and Harry Styles is 20. Five years, that does not qualify me as a cougar by any means. I would rather proclaim myself as a puma. Harry Styles is definitely my one guilty pleasure, let's face it we all have them and he happens to be mine. People who know me tend to learn that I normally will always find something wrong with someone, but with him I simply can't.

Besides the fact that he is internationally famous and may never know that I exist. 

Anyways…

The concert was at AT&T stadium on August 24th, 2014. I bought tickets that were 9 rows back for my niece Kate and me. I knew that if I was going to get Harry to notice me I had to be close regardless the blow my bank account took. So not only were we 15 ft away, but I made a sign that I was hoping would catch his eye. "Simple but effective!" as Harry would say.

We started the day waking up to my alarm clock playing One Direction music. Jumping out of bed like it was my wedding day I dashed downstairs with the biggest smile on my face. I wanted the day to go perfect so I scheduled Kate and me an appointment at The Dry Bar. I had never been before and I must say their service was impeccable. Kate and I both got our hair done around 3 then headed home to get our makeup and outfits on. Once we parked and walked into the stadium I got chills. The place was enormous. Girls everywhere (and some guys) sharing the same love for this band as me. We found the sign that said FLOOR SEATING and made our way down. In order to get to our seats, we had various checkpoints that we had to present our tickets in order to continue to get closer to the stage. We reached the last lady and she pointed us in the right direction. I couldn't believe how close we were. I could literally see Harry's facial expressions.

Now that I was positioned and ready I needed him to get to see the sign. Being 5'9'', in 4 inch heels, and surrounded by teenagers I must say I stuck out like a sore thumb, perfect for Harry to spot me. The band made their way out singing their first song Midnight Memories and there he was. He made his way to the stage at this point he was not singing. I could see his eyes going back and forth reading the words of my sign. I saw his face flush red and filled with a smile followed by a laugh. HE SAW IT! More songs go by and he makes his way back towards us. I stick the sign up directly in front of him knowing there is no way he can't see it. Just like that BAM! While signing Live While We're Young, Harry Styles pointed directly at me.

IT HAPPENED HARRY SAW ME! 

He did make his way over a few more times to our side of the stage throughout the night. Repeatedly, I held up the sign and received more smiles/glances from Harry. The night couldn't of gone better.

Now, I know that you may doubt me and thats fine. I really don't care. I did capture this on video and have several eye witnesses that will vouch for me. 

So here it comes: me turning into the OCD, detailed oriented superwoman. This plan involves me going to the Tulsa One Direction concert, yes another one. Sitting on the floor again with the same sign, however, this is where I need your help. I would like suggestions on what to put on the other side of the sign. Something that is clever to get me backstage to meet him. If you have any ideas please let me know!!! :) I would really appreciate it. 

XOXO, Tara
