Taylor Swift Concert!!

The month of May revolved completely around Taylor Swift.  My best friends from college and I bought tickets the day they went on sale back in November and we road tripped to California!  *I don't know how to continue typing without sounding like a 15 year old fan girl, so I'm just going to go with it.*  Even if you don't like Taylor Swift's music you have to acknowledge how far she has come and how well she does it.  I can remember sitting at my yellow desk, in my blue painted room, doing my math homework at the age of 13 and listening to tear drops on my guitar.  WHAT GIRL DIDN'T LISTEN TO THAT SONG and think of a specific boy.  And when you're 15 and someone tells you they love you, you're going to believe them?!  Exactly my life.  Eric and I were crushing on one another at 16 years old.  We were best friends and only wanted to spend time with one another.  Now this was TEN years ago and times have changed cause we're married, but back then... Eric's parents had a rule that he had to take another girl out in between his dates with me.  Basically they didn't think he needed to be getting "serious" at a young age and let me tell you, when Love Story came out I felt like that song was made for us. 

We could swap many more stories about how we feel connected to a song because she writes about her real life... real feelings and events that happened to her.  So I'll skip to the details of the concert, because Taylor can PERFORM.  It is so evident that she spent hours and hours practicing for the tour because it is an insane production.  For me, one night would be fun and then I'd be like "that was exhausting, I miss my couch and netflix too much. No more tour".  But no, she performs weekend after weekend flawlessly for two hours straight.  She engages with every single person in a stadium of 60,000 people!!  And she looks happy while doing it.  

We screamed, cried, sang along to every lyric and danced.  She sang so many past songs and our surprise B-stage song was All Too Well.  My videos of the concert are random snippets and include my screaming and horrible back-up vocals.  We were surprised with Troye Sivan and Selena Gomez at our concert.  When Selena walked on the stage the screams were SO loud, you almost can not hear her singing.  Three months later and I still reminisce about her incredible show!  So I put all of the video clips and pictures into a video for myself to enjoy ðŸ˜‚ (And I included it at the very end)

Adventures in Oahu, Hawaii (video and pictures)

ALOHA!  I made my first video!  It is nothing crazy cool.  But it took a long time and learning so it's special to me haha.  It is a collection of all of our favorite pictures and memories for us to watch and be reminded of our time in Oahu.

make sure you change the quality to 1080p HD

In April of 2017, right around our three year wedding anniversary, Eric and I booked a trip to Hawaii!!  We had been playing around with the idea of going on a vacation and contemplated a cruise.  One day we talked about Hawaii and a quick internet search showed that there is SO MUCH to explore in Hawaii.  We knew that is what we wanted to do.  Hawaii is an amazing place!  We chose 10 days on two islands, Oahu and Maui.  I had a lot of fun researching and planning every last detail of our itinerary.  October finally came and we visited Oahu!

Oahu adventures included...
Lanikai Pillbox Hike/ Kailua Beach
