Birthday Trip to Taylor

When we got tickets to, sit down and take a breath, OPENING NIGHT TO TAYLOR SWIFT IN PHOENIX ARIZONA WITH *insert sob* FLOOR SEATS it was pretty clear that we were going to have to celebrate our May and June birthdays in March. For Taylor, anything! And then when we found out that the Dodgers were going to be playing a Spring Training game that same weekend, well all the freaking stars were aligning for us. We did the usual birthday bestie trip stuff--ate yummy food and drank too much soda and stayed up late talking and laughing and crying--but we also saw Taylor, which makes this the birthday trip that I don't think can ever be beat. The weekend was absolutely wonderful, from start to finish. I love these friends of mine and there's not a day that goes by that I'm not grateful for them.   

Got my Swiftie sweater on and I'm heading to AZ. Peace out Sac-town!

When I saw this snack shop right outside of my terminal I thought it was definitely meant to be. They didn't sell Diet Coke, which the real Taylor would never stand for, but they had other yummy snacks!

We were eating tacos in our matching Swiftie sweaters when some street performers came up and started serenading us with Taylor songs before being rushed out of the restaurant by our waiter. It was such a fun and memorable moment. 


Every time we come here I move the furniture around and then ask the person working behind the counter to take a picture of us. Don't worry, I move the tables and chairs back when I'm done!




Taylor Swift virtual 5K for concert day. I'm a little rusty on my road running but it was fun to be back on the streets with these girls. We blasted music the whole time and we won 1st, 2nd and 3rd place! 

THIS FOOD WINS!



Taylor, I'm coming for ya!

Pre-gaming with XL caffiene!

People are so stinking creative. Teardrops on my guitar right here. 

What one wears to Taylor, all wear to Taylor. This Anthro giant sequin shirt in Lover hues was the perfect opening night vibe!


I can't believe we got floor seats to Opening Night. This was a dream!


Matching hands and clothes and bracelets, if you haven't caught on already we kind of like to match each other. (And by kind of, I mean always always ALWAYS like to be in the same clothes!!!)



The show was 10/10, better than expected, perfect in every way except that I didn't hear Death by a Thousand Cuts (there's still hope...more shows to come!) Taylor performed for more than 3 hours and sang everything under the sun. She is magnificent. 

Making fresh squeezed orange juice at Dustin's moms house. They are so generous to always let us stay and their house is perfection. 



These were our seats for the Dodgers game. Like, WHAT?! 




Besties. 

I'm so used to seeing the players from so far away that this felt surreal. Like, Hi Freddy!!! 

Matching (fake) tats that I love so much I almost want to make real.



It's me, Hi! I'm the problem it's me. (And by problem, I mean my face isn't in the pic because I'm taking a video for Ev!!!)

Things are constantly different and changing and easy and hard and yet these girls are as consistent and present as they come. Matching jams for the win on our last night together.
