A Very Special Evening With The Dave Matthews Band

Back in Mid-July, I had one of the best evenings of my life. I bought tickets back in February for a Dave Matthews Band concert in Jacksonville, Fla. This was my first time going to a DMB concert and also the first time DMB has been in Jacksonville.

That night was absolutely amazing! My best friend and I drove there early and ate yummy tacos and explored the venue. We started to head toward the stage an hour before the show started. It was fun; talking to different people who have been to previous DMB shows. We met a couple who went to 15 DMB shows. There was a person who had a poster up saying it was their "60th" Show. Wow, that is dedication, and after having one of the best nights of my life, I can see why they kept coming back.

My best friend and I had ground floor tickets near the stage. It was amazing on how close we were! The show was sold out and consisted of two segments. DMB performed an acoustic set opening with "Bartender" featuring Tim Reynolds. The band also performed their famous songs "What Would You Say," "Tripping Billies," and "Two Step." The second set of songs  included "Warehouse," "Everyday," and "Grey Street" and was full-blown instrumental.

Overall, we had an amazing night! I would do this again in a heartbeat. :) 

I Graduated College, Now What?

After six years of college, I finally graduated with my Bachelor's Degree! Although this may sound very exciting, (and it is) the transitional stage is very puzzling. It's hard having to accept I have been in school most of my life, and now it is finally over. I've been told this is normal, but I am very anxious and excited to see what is ahead.

I am taking this fall off and traveling to Europe, Disney World and out west to visit family. My brother and sister-in-law are having their third baby, so it will be exciting meeting my new nephew. 

I had a wonderful graduation party with family and a few close friends at the neighborhood pool. I am very grateful and enjoyed everyone who was there.

I also have the incredible opportunity of being able to report on One Start START Berlin this September. I will keep everyone posted with pictures and videos of my European travel. :)
