Hey Crazies!

This last weekend I went to a couple of concerts. On friday night my sister and I went to see Eli Young Band (my favorite) at Lonestar Park. We got there in enough time to see the last few races.

I hadn't been to an outdoor texas country concert in a while and was a little surprised when we got there. I guess there's gotta be at least one  Crazy at every concert.

Seriously?! Who wears a mile high mohawk to a TEXAS COUNTRY CONCERT?! This guy, that's who. It was definitely a sight to see. 

Anyway, the concert was great, despite the crazy drunkenness, smoking and cussing.

Drummer wearing awesome aviators.

How cute is this kid?! It was his 3rd birthday. Don't worry he was with the band.

My sister and I realized how much we actually segregate ourselves from worldly and secular things/situations. I'm not sure I would have noticed it if I wouldn't have attended this concert. Even if it is a different atmosphere, I still LOVE texas country!

I've had tickets to the Tim McGraw/Lady Antebellum concert for about a month now which just so happened to be on saturday, the day after the EYB concert. Saturday morning I found out we were going to have 2 extra tickets, so I asked my friend, Traci, if she wanted to go. She said yes :)

the rest of the world. it was so hot at this point.

I guess this is the largest outdoor concert I've ever been to, because I was amazed at how many people were there. I was so glad we had lawn tickets so we could spread out. 

Love and Theft was the opener. I only knew one of their songs "Runnaway". They played a really short set, so I didn't get a picture of them actually playing.

Lady Antebellum

Lady Antebellum came on next. I love them and I love how many hits they've had lately.

Of course there were some crazies at this concert too.

she was dancin' up a storm!

this guy cared more about Tim's wife than he did about Tim.

Faith wasn't there btw.

it creeps me out to see people dancing like this in public..

She's not crazy, but guess who I saw!!

Melody! We'll definitely be hanging out soon.

And finally what everyone was waiting for...

the concert was at Fair Park and I loved being able to see the farris wheel 

It was Fantastic - Probably the best concert of my life!

I had the best weekend!

love,

Sweet Summer time

As I think back to summer time as a kid there are a few things that come to mind. Ya know, the normal things - riding bikes, playing outside in the water (we didn't have pool yet), walking barefoot down the street to our neighborhood friend's house. But, there's one thing that stands out the most. My sister and I, along with the rest of the neighborhood kids, would ride our bikes a few blocks to THE PINK SNOW-CONE STAND. Ok, so that's not it's real name obviously, but we couldn't ever remember the real name. It was always pink and white striped, no matter how many times they painted it, so that's what we called it - The Pink Snow-Cone Stand.

from my dad's blackberry - I have no idea who that kid is

My favorites have never changed. I've always LOVED rainbow and green apple. Once I got a little older I would branch out and try a new flavor every now and then, but the favorites always stayed the same.

Now, this isn't an actual rainbow snow-cone from "The Pink Snow-cone Stand" (since I'm 6+ hours away) but it sure looks like it. And it looks delicious!

Now days my summer activities are a little different. I enjoy running, working out, hanging out with friends and going to concerts but I would definitely have to say my favorite summer time activity is laying out by the pool.

I have had a few opportunities this summer to lay out, but not as many as I'd like (yet). Now, instead of a snowcone from "The Pink Snow-Cone Stand", my beverage of choice is a Diet Coke from Sonic's Happy Hour! I basically can't live with out Sonic diet cokes. Hopefully this weekend I'll be enjoying my favorite summer past-time. 

Hello There

Well, Hello!

I’m definitely new at this. I’ve been reading blogs for a while now, but I’ve decided it’s time to start one of my own and it’s going to take a little while to learn my way around. I have no idea what I’m doing so be warned. However, I’m excited about this new adventure. My plan is to document things in my life – events, things that inspire me, things that encourage me, things that I learn and new adventures. Hope all goes well. Wish Me LUCK!!

love, jule
