21!

SO IT'S OFFICALLY LEGAL! I turned 21 on saturday and decided to celebrate... But since I don't drink I just had some sparkling cider. Nothing too crazy for me!! I had a really good birthday and since it was on a saturday I was able to do stuff all day. Jason took me to get a massage in the morning, then we went to Tia Rosas with my fam.

We saw Wall e which was good. But even though its made for them, it did not seem to be a movie that kids would enjoy or understand. My dad called it "dark" and my brother "boring." But I think everyone else liked it. After that we went home and they sang to me.. twice because the first time my nephew Cole blew out the candles instead of me and so they did it again. I opened presents and I got a new camera, some gift cards, and a book called "The Host". Jason got me a new ipod stereo transmittor for my car.. but it still has not come yet. I was very excited about my presents! That night Jason and I went to a bar called "The Big Bang" and they have dueling pianos there which is a lot of fun. They let me in free cause it was my b-day. It was fun but we were a little bit akward cause we were the only ones not drinking. We still enjoyed watching them sing and play songs like "Sweet Caroline", "Born in the USA" and even the Spongebob theme.I had a great birthday!

JIMMY EAT WORLD & DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

So this week Jason and I got to see 2 concerts in a row. First we saw Jimmy Eat World on wednesday night at Dodge Theatre. The tickets were about 55$ a person but Jason bought extra ones and sold them so our tickets were only about 12$ each. We were also in the pit rather than in seats so we were able to get really close when the crowd started moshing. They pushed me so that I was only one person away from the gate in front of the stage. It was great! I had actually seen them before but I was way far back and I had to sit through a bunch of screaming punk bands. This time they had 2 opening bands and one of them I really enjoyed.. they are called "Minus the Bear." It's weird because we actually have one of their CDs in our huge collection of music. I have no idea where it came from. The other band "Deer and the Headlights" was good but it was hard to hear the lead singer.

When JEW came on you could tell they have way more experience performing.. and are just plain better! It was such a fun concert- I enjoyed every song and did not want it to end!

So even though we were tired from that concert (especially with me having work the next morning) we did not want to miss seeing Death Cab For Cutie. We had seen them 2 years ago and it was one of the best concerts we had been to. We had not even planned on going last time but since it was at Mesa Amphitheatre we thought we would just stay outside and get a free show. But once they came on we both wanted badly to be inside and we bought tickets. This time it was planned and we went with Jason's sibs Brendan and Catherine. One major difference this time from last was the temperature. Previously we went in winter and it was probably 50 degrees.. a lot better than 105 this time! It was still a lot of fun even though we were all drenched. Another difference was the singer Ben Gibbard. I did not recognize him because he probably lost 50 and wasn't wearing his signature glasses. It was hard for me to accept that it was really him because I had a certain image of him for so long. I got over it eventually and really enjoyed the concert. The opening band was Rogue Wave who most people do not know but I love! I was very glad that I was able to see them. Death Cab was amazing as usual- they put on a great concert! We were both so worn out afterwards because we were standing for both concerts. But I am very glad that we went.

Jason's birthday!

So Jason had his 26 birthday on wednesday. That seems very old to me- especially since I am just starting my 20's and he is near the end of them. At least I will always be a young chick to him. I didn't get him anything that exciting really because he is really hard to shop for. I just took him shopping instead cause he hasn't gotten new clothes in probably 5 years. He has bought clothes but they are only new to him. He buys used stuff from goodwill or other places cause he doesn't care enough to spend more on clothes. I guess it was more of a present to me than to him.








We ate here after seeing Kung Fu panda. He got a free b-day meal (well it counted for 22$ towards a meal.. he still had to pay 8$ for his steak and crab) but at least we didn't have to pay 60$ for our meal there.

The whole happy family!

New blogger

So I finally decided to make a blog for Jason and I, not because we really have anything THAT interesting to write about but because everyone else was doing it. We felt out of the loop (at least I did) on this whole blogging world and I decided to give a shot. I've had fun designing our blog but who knows if I will actually keep up with it. I'll try my best and hopefully I won't bore you too much. You can at least enjoy the pretty pictures and music.

Wedding Week

This week has been very busy for us because we had two family weddings. My aunt got married on thursday at my parent's house and my cousin on saturday. My whole family was stressed over getting everything ready for my aunt's wedding, but luckily we just had to show up to my cousin's. It was a fun but busy week!

Nephews Caden and Cole!
