thank you, whitney.

I was saddened to hear the new of Whitney Houston's passing.

I grew up listening to her music as a child.

And she was one of my favorites.

I loved her voice. I loved her beauty. I loved her music.

It didn't matter what was going on in her life...

To me, she was still the best at what she did.

She was a legend and amazingly talented like no other.

Thank you, Whitney.

For bringing beautiful music to our lives.

One of my favorite Whitney Houston songs. Always puts a smile to my face and makes me think of when I was a little girl dancing in my room to her music.

a musical friday night

My weekend kicked off with a Sade & John Legend {my fave!} concert. I'd seen {and met} John Legend before so I knew he was going to put on a great show...and he didn't disappoint. Amazing as ever! Now with Sade, I only knew a handful of her songs...but she was awesome. It's great to see that at her age, she's still got it! 

Both of them have a very distinct voice and that's what I love about them. It's so refreshing to see a concert where the artist sings all of their songs live and can STILL sound like they do on their CD. Seriously, where can you find that nowadays?

My favorite John Legend song performed: "Ordinary People"

My favorite Sade song performed: By Your Side

It was definitely one of the best concerts I've been to. Great energy and beautiful, romantic music...I'm pretty sure some concert-goers went and made some babies that night.

haircuts and vegas

What a long and busy day! I spent the day with my son, mom, and sister. We made the 30-45 minute drive to our hometown...mainly to visit one of my grandmas for her birthday...but also to run some errands and just spend some quality time together. Oh, we're going to San Diego next weekend for my cousin's wedding and my son was in desperate need of a haircut...

AFTER:

On our way home the song "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Whitney Houston came on  the radio and it made me think of my last birthday trip to Vegas with my closest girl friends. Then I started thinking about our single days- before the boyfriends, babies, and weddings. It was such a carefree time in our lives. I miss the spontaneous trips to Vegas. I miss the late nights out. I miss our drunken conversations. I miss the dinners and happy hours. 

I think we're due for a get-together or GNO...
