music. the live kind.

i'm a music lover. i love all kinds. i have a weak spot for lyrics and acoustic guitars and songs about the south. music is one of the most important things in my life.

last week, i got to see two live shows in a matter of two days. lucky girl.

rewind to my birthday last month, best friend katie bought me a ticket for the fray! i love the fray in a big way - their song "look after you" makes me weak in the knees and i'm not sure i've ever listened to an entire album as many times as i have listen to "how to save a life." i have seen them live once before, on a night which stands out as one of my all time favorites. jack's mannequin opened for the fray, and this show was the first show EVER at the (then) brand new music factory in uptown. it was awesome. so i knew the fray would be wonderful, but what i didn't know was how incredible kelly clarkson would be. dang, that girl can sing. wednesday night was so much fun - i wish i had a hump-day concert to attend every week!

after dragging through thursday and friday at work, i got off a few hours early & ran around like a crazy trying to get ready for the weekend. last week i decided to buy last minute tickets for the band perry & brad paisley concert. roomies & sisters came with and we met derrick & his pals at the concert. we hung out (aka drank) in the parking lot for about an hour before heading inside. it was a wild/fun evening, and i'm thankful for nights like this, spent around my family & some of our favorite friends.
