Part 2

Oh Darling - Their cover of The Beatles.

What a way to end the evening with a cake in the face!

I had the best time. It was the best concert I have ever been to! Thanks to Andrea and Sarah for great time in line and during the crazy opening acts. I can not wait for them to tour again and continue to put out new music.

"Cause In the end they'll be the only ones there!"

For anyone who has known me since middle school probably knows that I LOVE Hanson. It was a serious obsession in the beginning that now has turned into a love that will last a lifetime. They have been around now for 11 years! Many cd's, and troubles with record companies later they are still around and making music. I have been to several Hanson concerts in my day, and when I heard they were coming back into town it was no exception. I went to the see them with my faithful fellow Hanson lover friends Andrea and Sarah. We were able to see them at the Webster theater where we have seen them once before. The theater holds about 500 people, and its all standing no seats (which sucks). This day however was extra special seeing how it was Zac's 23rd birthday. The show was AMAZING. The set list was great even including an impromptu version of Marvin Gaye's Lets get it on (so hot)!! My camera is broken therefore I did not get any pictures but Andrea had her trusty camera, and I have stolen some pictures from her. I also found some video of the show on good ole YouTube. Especially the part of the show where cake was thrown into the faces of Taylor and Zac and then the crowd ( I had cake all in my hair!)

Squeezing in for a group shot!

I am not sure why I can't ever take a normal picture. I think it's a disorder I have.

The Birthday Boy.

So fetching hot!

As you can see we were very close to the stage. If anyone told me back when I was 13 that I would see Hanson at such a close proximity I would have thought they were joking.

GIRLS NIGHT OUT!

My two wonderful friends Jessica and Kim treated me to a fabulous girls night out to celebrate the remaining time I have left before I leave. I met Jess and Kim in my dental hygiene program. We have been close ever since. I really am going to miss these two a great deal when I leave. Although I will continue talking to them constantly just as I do now. The activities of the night were a bit of a surprise. We first had dinner at the cheesecake factory! It was so delicious. I had balsamic glazed chicken YUMMY! Following dinner we had tickets to see the musical Girls Night Out at the Bushnell theater. The musical was very funny! It was about four women, set at a club in a private party room where they were having a karaoke party. They played a bunch of great hits from different decades. They did a great job of getting everyone to stand up and dance, sing and participate in the songs. Since we were in Hartford on a Saturday night we decided why not hit up some of the cities great bars. We listened to some good tunes, and a pretty good cover band. All in all the night was a blast. We had such a good time! I know that we will have many more girls nights in our future. Hopefully a few in Utah or even Vegas.

Puffy Faces

So a few weeks ago I was at home on a rainy day. Jasper had been feeling a little sad inside (basically depressed). I didn't blame him since it was such a gloomy day out and he bask in the sun. He would never survive in Seattle. Anyways, I was in my Dad's office shredding lots of old papers for him. I went to get the vacuum to get the few strays left behind from when I emptied the basket. Jasper came out of hiding under his blankets upstairs to bark at his enemy the vacuum, when I noticed something different about his face. I chased after him in to my room to get a closer look. He kept pawing at his little face and wouldn't let me see. Finally once I pegged him down I realized his entire face was SWOLLEN like you wouldn't believe. I panicked hoping he wasn't going into anaphylatic shock. I quick grabbed him, shoved him in his carrier and drove to the closest vet. I felt like such a loser cause I was wearing a strapless dress with a sweatshirt over it and busted down the door saying "I NEED HELP MY DOGS FACE IS SWOLLEN". I kinda laugh about it now, but at the time I was devastated, I started crying in the waiting room. They took him in the back and put him on an I.V., gave him benedryl, and a steroid shot. I was able to take him home a few hours later. I took a picture of his face to kinda document what happened when I got him home. Its hard to tell but when I saw him it looked like he had a mouthful of acorns. Both sides of his face were swollen. In the picture it just looks like he has a huge tumor coming of the side of his face. But just imagine the size of that puffiness but all over his face. For some reason the swelling resolved on one side faster then the other. He is perfectly fine now. The vet said he had an allergic reaction to either a spider bite or a bee sting. Hopefully this won't happen again...ever!
