Busy Summer

It's really hard for me to believe that it's already July. It seems like my summer break just started but now it's already halfway over. Here have been some highlights of my summer:

• Colorado Trip - Over Memorial weekend, we road-tripped out to Green Mountain Falls, CO for my niece's high school graduation. It was a nice weekend with the family full of good eats and karaoke. We were also lucky to get to see Braden and Diane while we were there. Good times.

• Girls Weekend at Table Rock Lake - Earlier in June, I went out to Table Rock with 7 super fun girls. We spent all day everyday either laying out on the dock or out on the boat. I tried water skiing for the first time, which was hilarious to watch, I'm sure.

• Concert in Chicago - A couple weekends ago, I went to Chicago with my friend Lisa to see the Dixie Chicks, Keith Urban, and the Eagles. The concert itself was the best I've ever been to. I've always been a HUGE Dixie Chicks fan and this is the first time I've seen them live since 1992 (pre-Natalie). I also really enjoyed Keith Urban and the Eagles. We rest of the trip had many hilariously random moments that will forever be remembered.

• 4th of July weekend - This Sunday will mark my 1 year anniversary to my wonderful husband, James. We're going to spend our 4th at the beautiful Raphael hotel down on the plaza. I can't wait!
  

A Night of Great Music

Tonight has been full of amazing music because:

1. I watched the Glee finale. LOVED the Journey medley (particularly Faithfully). Wow!

2. My friend Lisa posted a video of the Dixie Chicks covering Train's "Soul Sister" from the Toronto concert last night. Lisa and I are going to Chicago next weekend to see the Chicks (and The Eagles). This will be the first time I've ever seen the Dixie Chicks live since I was a kid and it was Martie, Emily, Laura Lynch, and Robin Macy Lynn. I've been a fan for many years and have sang many a' open mic nights/karaoke to the Dixie Chicks (SO wish my sisters could make it to this show). After watching that Soul Sister video earlier....I was definitely in the mood. So I added all the songs from the Toronto setlist to a Grooveshark playlist. I'm very content right now.
