I went to Dave Matthews last night (and other things that rock about my life right now)

So Sarah and I went to see Dave last night in Atlanta and it. was. FAMAZING.

I was skeptical with just having lawn seats, but it turned out to be the most fun I've ever had at one of their shows. We did it right-we wore our best hippie sundresses, sarah had her braid in her hair, and mine was in two buns. We made 2 chill cds for the trip and brought plenty of snacks(which ended up coming in pretty handy after the show when we were starving) Was it a lack of dinner or the pretty evident contact high we got simply from being on the lawn? Who cares?

The set list was one of their best that I've seen. They opened with bartender, and covered both "sledgehammer" and "money." We also got treated to Jimi thing, crash, and ants marching. Sarah is just too funny. We had so much material to laugh about from the people around us it was ridiculous. I also saw Scott, for the first time since the break up, and it was actually ok. He looks completely different. We just had a quick hello before returning to our respective friends.

Ok, now on to other things that rock about my life right now:

This whole month has turned out to be so much fun so far-and it's not ending any time soon.
I had a really laid back July 4th, and I got to see Dave. Next week I'm headed home for a birthday barbeque with the fam, and I might even get to see John by pure coincidence!

Next weekend I'll be moving into my new apartment, and I could not be more excited. I love my house now, and I love my roomie christine, but I need a change in scenery. Also, it's going to be insane amounts of fun to live with Sarah. We rented the parent trap on pay per view the other night, and that's exactly the kind of stuff I like to do every once in a while. We're a good fit.

The weekend after that is Jamie's shower, and-wait for it-the DOUG REYNOLDS 2008 party in atlanta. Who is Doug Reynolds? well I don't know him personallly but aparently he throws one hell of a lake party every July, and I will be there.

Life is good. I'm pretty happy for the first time in a while, and that's such a good feeling. I hope this good time summer streak continues into august (and I def think it will, since I'll be headed back to hotlanta for JACK JOHNSON. Jealous? yeah you probably should be)

Am I too old for Slip n' Slide?

I'm a little sunburned, and my wrist kind of hurts, but other than that I pulled off an afternoon of 3 man racer slip n slide relatively unscathed.

I'm not going to lie-it was really fun. Sure, I felt less creepy knowing I was at the Baker's house and the main purpose of the slip n slide was for Sarah's three year old niece Ibby, but I wonder sometimes, when will I be too old for stuff like this anymore?

I just turned 25, (and we all know what a crisis THAT was) but I swear I still feel like a kid at heart. In the past year I've managed to get my college degree, land a job at a pharmaceutical company, and move to a completely new city on my own. So when do I start feeling like a "grown-up?" I suppose we never really feel adult until we're responsible for something, or someone else. Some people buy a house, some people get married young, and some people start families in an attempt to feel adult. I don't have anything of these things, so an afternoon sliding around on indestructable vinyl with a garden hose doesn't seem like such a far fetched idea.

So what can I do to feel more adult? And do I even really want to? I can't afford a house, I'm not even seeing anyone, and having kids? well I don't think my mother would be too pleased if I went down that path.

I suppose I should just learn to be happy with what I have accomplished so far, and take comfort in knowing I'm not the only 25 year old still trying to find my place in the world.

I could also use a massage right now. I may not be too old to not be adult yet, but I'm definitely too old to not be sore from flying down 18 feet on solid ground. ouch...
