We love James Taylor!!!

Matt and I went to Tahoe for the weekend to see James Taylor live! It was so much fun! We went to his Salt Lake City concert a couple of years ago while we were still dating and LOVED it, and Matt saw him in Cincinnati many years ago. So we are officially roadies, traveling just to see him live. He has the funniest comments in between his songs. And believe it or not, we were not the youngest people there! We strongly recommend seeing him in concert to anyone who hasn't. You won't regret it. We've also been going to the golf driving range lately and we really enjoy it. I did a lot better than expected--Matt is a good teacher, and definitely better than me. We were both able to hit the guy driving around to pick up the golf balls. :) And we got a new couch! Our most expensive purchase as a married couple...that is if you don't include our rent in California! But we love it and it is SO comfortable! Enjoy!



Mexico Video! Watch it, it's great.


Look at JT rockin' out!





If you look very close, you can see James in the background! He's good...



Me and Jamesy :)



The view at Emerald Bay, it was absolutely gorgeous!

Matty swinging the clubs. He hit this one 400 yards!

Look at that posture. Look out, Tiger Woods!

Our new couch. See how comfy it is, he fell asleep!

Look at how good he looks in his JT shirt!

I left my heart in San Francisco...

We have officially been married for two years! On July 8th, Matty and I celebrated two amazing years of marriage! We actually celebrated it over the 4th of July weekend and went to downtown San Francisco. It was a lot of fun. We went to the Full House Park which I had never been to, and let me tell you, it was a HUGE tourist attraction. People were everywhere. A lot of people were there to watch the fireworks because you could see over the hug buildings and see the bay so it would have been a great seat. It then took us about a half hour to find a parking spot which was 14-15 blocks away from where we were trying to go! So we caught a trolley which was fun. We were the people holding onto those poles for dear life as we went down those steep, steep hills, and it was lots of fun. We ate an enormous sundae at Ghiradelli Square which was covered in the richest hot fudge sauce we have ever had--we both felt so sick even after sharing! We walked on the beach, listened to the live music playing and then trecked the 14-15 blocks up the steep hills back to our car! Let me tell you--quite the workout! I'm sure every single calorie in our bodies was burned!!! The trolley line was way too long. We decided to watch fireworks from the hotel room because we were on the 9th floor overlooking the bay. It was a spectacular view, and we were able to see multiple firework shows. It was a great weekend, and we even bought a new couch! Our most expensive purchase together (besides rent in California!). It is a light beige leather couch, and it is beautiful. We are anxiously awaiting its arrival and can't wait to chop up our old one! :)


Down memory lane--Full House Park. Everywhere you look...



Matt hanging onto the trolley handles. It was so fun!


The small strip of beach next to Ghiradelli Square.




At the lookout point just before the Golden Gate Bridge!


Pier 39--by the way, we were both SO freezing cold that we had to but sweatshirts. I've been to San Fran before, but this was freezing!




Matt lookin smokin hot!

What do you know?! Even though it was freezing we decided to take a boat tour! We're crazy.

And of course Hard Rock--yeah!

Me with my people. We had good times.
