Two sisters only have their parents to blame It's rare that two can get along But when they do, they're inseparable

The No Doubt concert had to be the best concert I have ever been to. That's a pretty big statement, I know, but I don't think I have ever had that much fun. I caught myself tearing up about 4 times because I was soooo unbelievably happy.

It was the absolute perfect concert to go to with my sister. She loves No Doubt as much as I do. I vividly remember us listening to the Tragic Kingdom CD on repeat on her old boom box. So during the concert we were totally rocking out together the entire time. Nothing like jumping and head banging alongside your sister. Here's us waiting in line:



Another reason this concert so special for me was that every No Doubt song has a significant meaning. I remember exactly when & where I was when I first heard the song, what was happening in my life, and how I used the songs as therapy. Oh and, as I previously mentioned, Gwen Stafani's a huge inspiration. :) She sounded fantastic, looked beautiful, and was really sweet....she pulled up one guy on stage and to give him a hug. Here's her singing "Don't Speak" (I was definitely tearing up during this entire song)



The last time I almost burst into tears was when the took their final bow



I didn't want the concert to end.

I'm Just A Girl..

whose going to see one of my favorite bands, No Doubt, in concert on Sunday!!!! This will be my very first No Doubt concert and I'm super excited. I distinctively remember the day I first saw the "I'm Just A Girl" video on MTV. It was a school day and I was eating breakfast when I decided to turn on the ole' boob tube. I changed the channel to MTV and then it happened. I saw this



I sat in front of my tv and was in complete awe of Gwen Stefani. Who is this awesome chick? Her unique style, kick ass attitude, and rockin body totally inspired me. She still does. It's going to be beyond amazing seeing her in concert.

Aprils Showers bring more and more showers

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of attending my friend Laurie's Bridal Shower. Laurie's getting married on August 22, 2009 in Baltimore and I have the privilege of being one of her bridesmaids. Here's a group shot of the bridal party.

Laurie's Bridal Party

If you can't tell, the wedding colors are black and purple. ...Laurie is the beautiful lady in purple in the middle. For the bridal shower, I was tasked with making a dessert, so I decided on cupcakes. One little fact about me...I don't know how to cook. Like at all. So everyone was extremely worried about my cupcakes. I enlisted help from my bff, Mrs. Baker, (side note - Mrs. Baker is an amazing cook!) and here's the final product.

Not bad, right?! Huge thank you to Mrs. Baker :)
