birthday weekend! ALMOST A MONTH LATE!

oh my. ive been so bad at this i need to set reminders i think. like a "blog alarm".

as some/half of you know, my father and sisters are moving to tennessee, just south of nashville. we spent my birthday weekend there. needless to say, as much as i don't want to like tennessee, just because of the sheer fact that it is 8 hours away, i had so much fun on my birthday! most of the mcandrew clan was there, not to mention my best friends from home. i think everyone had a great time. it was like a mcandrew thanksgiving in july! with birthday cake!

phil and i (and krista and colin) arrived thursday night and enjoyed downtown nashville, while we waited for erin, doug and kayla to join us friday night.

fireworks in nashville friday night.

everyone, plus one.

someone is lying... phil...

this sums up the night. thanks, Steven.

Saturday morning, we headed to the lakehouse in Tim's Ford, TN.

fireworks on the lake.

round two: Sunday

what a great birthday!

shows.

ive also been going to a lot more spur of the moment shows with kayla lately. just like high school, only we are older.

Metric; last November...

Rogue Wave; last week... (they played at the Warhol, I worked, which meant I saw the sold-out concert for free)

Dashboard Confessional; Monday...

tay laut is awes

I don't know if any of you were aware, but Taylor Lautner... yes... THE tay laut, was in Pittsburgh filming a movie for the past month. Here are some images of exploring/stalking that I have captured on my many expeditions and determinations of meeting him/ seeing him/ kissing him.

the first night we went exploring, we made it on set.

the second time we went exploring, we went to his house.

the third time i went, he was home.

the fourth time i went, (I know, four seems like a lot, but it was on my "bucket list") we went to "Base Camp". This is apparently where they come after shooting scenes for the day.




I never met him or saw him, but it was a fun adventure every time we tried.
