Independance Day

Yesterday, I had the most overwhelming gratitude come over me when I started thinking about the 4th of July and the purpose of why we celebrate it. I couldn't stop thinking of all the freedoms I enjoy. I woke up around 11 o'clock in the morning. Did some laundry, sat outside on my deck, and started remodeling my kitchen. All things I did in the luxury of my own my. My very own home. Then I took a warm indoor shower, listened to my music while I got ready in my very own bathroom. Drove my car to a friends house, sat in her backyard, ate all the food I wanted. Then I walked over to the park, wrapped up in a warm blanket and watch fireworks all night long. It was such a simple day but a day filled with tasks that are the complete benefit of the men and women who sacrificed their lives and their liberties to make this the United States a free country. A place where everyone is free to pursue life, love and happiness. God bless America!

A Backyard Concert w Kalai

Last year I went to a concert at Thanksgiving point that featured Kalai. I hadn't ever really heard of him before but quickly fell in love with his unique sound and individual style. Since then I have continually searched for venues where he is playing and listened to his music hundreds and hundreds of times on my Ipod. A few weeks ago my boss called and said, "hey, who is that artist that you love?" I said Kalai right away. He said, "one of my friends is having a private concert with him in their backyard. I am not going to be able to go do you want to go?" Of course my response was heck yes!!! The private concert was amazing and I was so excited! I truly do love Kalai's music. It was so so fun. There were probably 50 people in the backyard. One of the best concert I have ever been to in my life!!
