Happy Birthday to me...

I had the best 23rd birthday! Jake and I had the most amazing time at the Celine Dion World Tour concert! The fact that her concert was here in Tacoma, WA (15 min. from where we live) and on the exact day of my birthday, shows it was just meant to be! I have been wanting to see her since I was little! I have almost all of her albums and pretty much know most of her songs by heart. She has the most incredible voice I have ever heard. She put on the greatest concert, so fun and full of energy and also emotional and down to earth. It just amazes me how she can belt out a voice like that live, she's so tiny... and very beautiful too. Her life story amazes me, youngest of 14 children, poor. She was talking a lot to the audience and apologized by talking so much, she said being the youngest she never got to talk much haha. When it was quiet after one of her songs Jake yelled, "Go Celine!" so loud and she looked out to the audience, blew a kiss, and winked. When we first walked into the concert I got so teary eyed, she sang most of my favorite songs and ended with the beautiful Titanic song, "My heart will go on." Soo amazing! This night was a dream come true.


she wore the most awesome clothes and boots ;)
this is what the concert looked like

We stayed the night after the show at the cutest Inn on the waterfront in Tacoma.... like my cool T-shirt Jake got me?!

May this next year bring joy and healing for us :)

So I love all the seasons that come with Washington, not just hot, and hotter like here in AZ. It is so beautiful up there. What a fun birthday! I hope all is well with you guys. Tell Jake I said hello and that I miss you all and wish I could come visit. Anyway, by the way, that first picture, of Celine in her white outfit, it looks like there is a little boy looking up her skirt. ;) Have a great day! =)
