A few overdue photos from my recent activities - My first Rangers game, a blurry view of downtown Dallas from Bar Belmont at The Belmont Hotel and Matt & Kim at HOB Dallas, which was the same night the Mavs won the championship. Lots of good times over the last couple of weeks!
Thanks to our friends Robert and Scott, Ashley and I were able to move from our nosebleed seats in the 300 section to a box, which was behind the stage, for the Bon Jovi concert. I was skeptical about being behind the stage, but it was awesome. We were so close and because the stage was a circle (hence, the Circle Tour), we had a really good view. And there were monitors everywhere, so we didn’t miss a thing.
Check out this video. My friend Jon (as in Jon Bon Jovi) may be getting up there in age, but he can still move!

Good weekend…except for Sunday.
This weekend was one of the best I have had in a long time.
On Friday, I spent the afternoon with my friend Ashley. It’s been a while since we have had some good girl time and shopping was the perfect idea! She was on the hunt for shoes and I ended up buying a sweet pair of Rock & Republic jeans at Nordstrom Rack for $65. Good deal! We ended up going to happy hour at Park, a new bar on Henderson, which looks like a backyard beach bar in California. I think it is our new fave place. We plan to make it our regular spot. We sat and talked for way longer than happy hour lasted and had a great time. After Park, we ended up at the Sick Puppies concert at House of Blues and thanks to our fave marketing guy, Scott, we got some All Access passes and had some drinks with the band.
On Saturday, I went condo shopping…again…with my parents. I am trying to be open to the thought of not living in Uptown and after Saturday, I think I am OK with that. I may not be ready to consider Addison, but I found an AWESOME place in White Rock Lake. Keeping my fingers crossed because there are some things that need to be addressed with the condo, but also trying not get my hopes up too much. Saturday night, I had some drinks with Ashley and saw a guy I didn’t think I would hang out with again. I am not saying any more than that.
On Sunday, I was actually sick as dog. My stomach was in knots all day and I seriously saw spots while I was taking a shower and thought I was going to faint. I spent the whole day in bed and feel MUCH better today.
Overall, it was a great weekend!
Going to see Matt & Kim at House of Blues with Sara tonight!
