gLee.


The glee concert was indescribable.  But if I COULD describe it, I would call it excellent, brilliant, exceptional, fabulous, magnificent, tremendous, wonderful, remarkable, extraordinary, amazing, astonishing, outstanding, terrific, stupendous, dazzling, marvleous, super, wonderful, superb, stunning, splendid, breathtaking, incredible, awesome, astounding, mind-blowing, and spectacular ... to say the least... We arrived in Sacramento and I could hardly contain my excitement.. neither could Brian.
We had GREAT seats. Center section of the first balcony! Brian took over 200 pictures, so I tried to only pick my most favorite ones, but obviously it was difficult.
The opening number was of course "Don't Stop Believing" When I heard the Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da. opening notes.. I thought I might just die.
Then Brittany came out and did "I'm a Slave For You." Omg. Fantabulous. She is such an amazing dancer. And she sounded just like Britney Spears. Wowee. She is a wonderful, but slutty dancer.
 Then Puck came up to the little stage that was right beside us. He sang "Fat Bottomed Girl" The crowd obviously went wild.
 Notice Fin jamming out on the drums.
 Mercedes then sang... but I can't remember what. But it was incredible. This girl can belt. And it sounds beautiful! Look how close she is!!
 Lady Gaga's "Born this Way"
I was mostly on my feet the entire time. How could I not be?! So much talent so close to me. Brian's ears hurt after the concert.. but he told me it was mostly from my piercing scream. Oh well. Then Rachel did her first solo. Oh em gee. I could die. It was firework!  She is so cute. And could do no wrong in my eyes!
.
The special guests were the Warblers!!!! They sang on the close stage and oh they were so cute! Blaine is such a little diva.
Sam and Quinn performed "Lucky" by Jason Mraz. I coveted every outfit that Quinn wore. I think she only shops at Anthro. Lucky girl.
 This was my absolute most favorite glee song. "Don't Rain on My Parade" Ahhhhhhhh!
 Then Fin sang "Jessie's Girl" The big screen had 80s style video of fin. So retro.
For the encore. Kurt came out with some ladies and did a perfect rendition of "Single Ladies"
 This special acoustic number was "Friday" The crowd went wild!

 Artie performed "Safety Dance." This was Brian's favorite. This boy knows how to move his hips.
This concert was seriously life changing. That's how good it was. Brian is so good at gifts and surprises! I always wonder how he will be able to top the last gift he gave me, but he always manages too. I'm so lucky!

one year anniversary!

It is official! As of May 1, Brian and I have been together for one year! Our anniversary was on a Sunday this year so we celebrated at home... and we got to celebrate Monday too with dinner and shopping at the Gateway. I sure don't mind spreading holidays over 2 days.. :)

Brian surprised me with a beautiful watch and also a mysterious and fabulously wrapped present.
My present so creatively wrapped
He told me I had to find my present in there, and after some digging around I found tickets....... to GLEE!!!!!
This face doesn't even show how excited I felt in my bones!
I couldn't believe it! He had kept it such a secret and I had no idea! I didn't even know they were touring! I love surprises! And Brian planned the whole trip! It couldn't have been more fantastic and exciting!

My beautiful anniversary bouquet

I was so surprised! And this meant a vacation!! Getting out of Provo for a bit, seeing my favorite music artists and tv series! Ahhh! I was so excited! Rachel Berry is totally my hero with all her drama and her fabulous belting voice!

Brian got an ipad. Our story was similar to the story I read on Jessica's blog. He doesn't like surprises like I do, so he drove to Salt Lake at 5am to get his anniversary gift! Crazy boy. But we are both happy!

We are still this much in love :)
I couldn't have had a better year! I love being married more than I ever could have thought. Brian is such a great husband and so caring and patient. I am so lucky to have him all to myself! I can't wait for our many anniversaries to come!
