Ben Rector Concert

Ben Rector came to the Georgia Theatre this week for a Concert,
and could it have made my little heart any happier??
nope.

I've been looking forward to seeing him in concert since about this time last year, when Ally and I went to Atlanta for his concert. At that time the venue we saw him in was super small, and we ended up getting to meet him after the show. Not so much this time...

This time it was packed out, and a bigger venue for sure. It's amazing to see how much he's grown over the past year. No one knew his songs at last year's concert... this one, everyone was singing along. I just love it! He's up and coming my friends, if you don't know him... check him out NOW. And you can thank me later. ;)

It was also wonderful to run into these lovely ladies, blog friends turned in-real-life friends. Jessica and Jamie are THE sweetest.

It was such a great show! Can't wait to see Ben Rector again come Spring... when he hopefully comes to visit Athens again (fingers. crossed.)

and now for your listening pleasure... 
please do dance around your room to this one for me. I do it every time. ;)


TGIF!!

It's been a while since I've linked up with Jamie for WILW! And I have so much that I'm loving this week!

What I'm loving...

[one.]

Our Christmas Decorations.

I went a liiiiittle crazy this week buying decor. I just love Christmas time, it's my absolute weakness when I go shopping. So I came out of Target the other day with a bag full of goodies. I'm not totally done with my apartment yet... but here is a sneak peek of our tree. :)

still in the process of finding a tree skirt for it... 

[two.]

The Michael Buble Christmas CD.

Like I said, Christmas time is my weakness.. and I had to buy it at Target today.. 

Holy smokes, what a great CD!

It made me emotional when I first put it in.... it's THAT good. His voice is so sexy.

 

[three.]

I love Spotify. 

If you aren't on there.. check it out. It's like a free itunes, you just can't OWN the music. It's like pandora.. but you get to choose the songs. #obsessed

you can check out my latest playlist here.

I'm going to a Tacky Christmas Party this Friday, and I love putting together outfits for tacky parties.

Thank you Goodwill for your incredible blazers, and Target for your multicolored tights. Here's a sneak-peek: 

    pardon the background... I need to hang some pictures ;)

AND now I'm hitting the books for my final tomorrow.

In ONE week I will be DONE!!! :)

what are YOU loving today?!

Go link up with Jamie and share it with us!

We're on a First Name Basis..

With BEN RECTOR!!!

That's right friends.

We met Ben Rector at the concert the other night... AND we got our picture with him AND a signed tour poster AND we were two people from touching the stage AND he may just replace my love for John Mayer. 

BEST. CONCERT. THIS. YEAR.

 

I had to work until 7 the night of the concert.. so we weren't able to head to Atlanta until later.. and we were a little late getting there. HOWEVER, Benny had not stepped out on stage yet, and I was determined to push our way to the front. Friends, we made it. Check this beauty out: 

He stole my heart. Too bad he had a wedding band on his left hand. :(

He was absolutely incredible.. and the venue was amazing. It was so intimate.. I definitely want to go to some more concerts there soon!

I just wish our picture with him could've turned out a LITTLE better.. but we had sweated through a concert at this point in the night.. rubbing elbows with folks we didn't know.. so I'll take it.

and we got a picture with the band. holllaaaaaa.

We got a little lost on our way there.. and on our way back. but all in all.. it was a blast! I just love concerts!!
