Time flies when your havin' fun...

OK, OK...it's been a month since I have posted. A lot has happened since then so here we go. One of my best friends moved away to Dallas but not before we had one last night on the town...SLC BarCrawl 2010. Despite the massive hangover for three days after, it was one of the funnest nights ever! Go Team Turkey!! (Ya had to be there) :) Miss you Heath and Mary!




Our new friends...Aaron, Adam and Adam



Then to kick off the summer concert season I went to see MoFro at Red Butte with my parents. What a beautiful place to spend a summer evening listening to great music!
The next week it was the much anticipated KOL concert with the girls. A tailgate party to start things off was an absolute must, and my cousin Jess shotgunned a beer for the first time since college (I hope). I saw lots of old friends and probably made some new ones. I have never been one to sit back and relax at a concert, I like to be right up front. And after a few drinks for some liquid courage I decided that I was not going to sit back on the lawn anymore. So, I grabbed a couple on their way out of the pit and, as nicely as I could, asked them for their wristbands. After pretty much tearing it off the woman's arm, I was the proud holder of a pit wristband and on my down to see the action up close and personal. Apparently my courage rubbed off on my cousin because within ten minutes she was right there with me, which was ultimately the best part considering she is their number one fan. The look on her face was priceless, although at times I thought I might have to hold her back from jumping on stage and making out with Caleb...hee hee. Love ya Jess!






The next was 311 and Pepper, two days after the KOL concert, what a week! Unfortunately I have no photos from this night because my carmera battery died. But it was a kick ass time and Clucker and I managed to get ripped off by her friend for some tickets into the pit. Well worth it though!
Finally, another epic show, Jimmy Cliff with Michael Franti and Spearhead at Deer Valley Resort. Saw this one with my mom, my ultimate concert partner. It was a beautiful evening until the end of the show when the nightly mountain rain shower started...but it only made it that much better...a little cold...but still epic! I know I say this A LOT...but this was definitely one of the best shows I have ever seen! Between the good vibes, the rain, Jimmy Cliff in his gold shoes not missing a single beat, and Michael never disappointing me this was a show to remember! And we were right up front, again, within an arms reach of some legendary musicians...perfect!









When I am not going to conerts or playing kickball or soccer, I am hanging out with my family or making earrings like a mad woman. I have officially planned a party to sell my stuff...details are on my other blog...

A taste of whats to come...

I have finally decided, after many years of everyone telling me to do so, that I am going to try and sell my jewelry. For now I want to focus on earrings but perhaps in the future move on to other stuff. I spent most of my weekend putting beads together and twisting wire. I invested in a good amount of bead inventory as well as some new tools to make life a little easier and production a lot faster. My options are open at this point but hopefully I will soon be selling my creations on Etsy. Or I may just decide to have an earring party! For now, I am working on building up my collection and I thought that some of you might be interested in a sneak peek. These are some of my favorites so far and it is really hard not keeping them all for myself. :)

A week to remember...

So far, one of the best weeks of my summer was last week when my best friend Alexa came for a long overdue visit. It was a week full of hilarious memories and unforgettable moments, as usual. And although you had to be there to really appreciate all those moments, here is a very tiny glimpse.

A trip to Park City...

The best peanut butter cups EVER!!

Some Australian guys insisted we take a picture with this bear.

A night of friends, homemade enchiladas, and margaritas!


And of course some drinking Jenga!


Cheers!

Utah Arts festival


Real Salt Lake game...

between the Real game, my games, and the World Cup I think Alexa
was getting a little burned out on the whole soccer thing. LOL!


Go USA!!! Angel showing his true spirit!

And to top it off... My cousins wedding!

CONGRATS to Aj and Leona!
Awesome wedding!

Party time...

It's been a few since I've posted so here's what I have been up to...
A couple weekends ago we celebrated my cousin Jessica's 29th (uh oh...one more year) bday and the soon to be marriage of my cousin AJ to his awesome fiance Leona. We had way too much fun on the dance floor at Lumpy's...definitely a night to remember!

The bachelor and bachelorette!

Shake your booty!


Heels off...dance party on!

The classic Clucker photo...not her finest moment. :)

Oh yeah!


Boogie down!

Nothing better than summer concerts...

This summer is already looking like a good line up of music here in the Salty city. Every year I look forward to seeing as many live music shows as possible and although we don't always get the best stuff here in Utah things are getting better and this year is no exception. So far I have a few shows already lined up and I am hoping to sneak in a couple more before the season comes to an end.

MoFro @ Red Butte 6/28


Kings of Leon @ Usana 7/19


Michael Franti and...


Jimmy Cliff @ Deer Valley 7/27


And hopefully...
311 @ Usana 7/21
311 was my first concert ever at Wolf Mountain with my sister.
It would be so awesome to see these guys again.
