Too Close.

I was lucky enough to go to the Alex Clare concert this past week with one of my best friends Cheyenne. She burnt me his CD over the summer and we fell in love with him. The he came out with 'Too Close' on the radio, and we were so excited he was touring.

We bought our tickets, and I marked my calendar. I finally got to see a show at the Marquee when I was old enough to go to Mill Ave before. We stopped for happy hour at a couple places and then walked over the bridge to see the show. I remember going to shows at the Marquee theater and seeing all the cool older kids walking over the bridge to the venue after getting drinks on Mill. Well guess what?! I'm a cool older kid now, woo!

The concert was awesome, and Alex Clare is so cute! As my friend Cheyenne put it, "He'll make a good Santa Claus when he is older. He just kept smiling at the crown with his bearded grin and talking in his sweet British accent. His songs were so much fun to dance along to and sing at the top of our lungs. So glad I went and got to go, and enjoy it with one of my best friends.

Hooray for good music and great friends!

July Fireworks

So I told you I'd share pictures of my Fourth of July, which was really actually the 3rd of July because I had to work on the 4th! I went to the Miranda Lambert & Darius Rucker Independence Day Music Festival at Salt River Fields. I met up with three other girls from work and we grilled and ate and drank at my friends gorgeous house (more like a mansion, it was sooo huge!). From there our responsible, under 21, friend drove us to the show. We had so much fun running around, taking pictures and talking to people. I'm glad we had grass seats because I don't think we could have sat still in regular seats! I managed to take over 100 pictures in less than a few hours, and they all just make me laugh. So here are some snapshots of some of the pictures I took and the fun that was had!

Driving there!

Loving our lawn seats!

These girls adopted us and were suddenly our best friends!

Love her! 

I kissed Tim McGraw! (Shh.. it was his look-a-like with Kenny Chesney!)

The more the merrier!

Amurica loves country!

The nicest guy took some awesome pictures for us with the fireworks!

 I had an amazing time with these girls, and Miranda was sooo good!  Sang along all night, and secretly hoped Blake Shelton would come out and sing with her... but it didn't happen! Glad I got to celebrate the country's freedom being young, wild & free.. cheesy, but oh well! :]

Hope your July's are going great, cannot believe it is more than half way over- how terrible! I am secretly excited to get back in the swing of things with school and my other jobs, though too!

PS: Here's the view I had on the actual holiday- working in Tempe Beach Park has it's perks.

The best view in the city, on the dock in the lake!

The lovely ladies I get to work with! Ah, I don't know what I'd do without them.. I'm so lucky!
