Last weekend my mom and I took an impromptu trip to watch my cousin Sarah sing her senior recital at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. It was great to hear Sarah sing, and great to spend some quality time with my mom, aunts, and cousins. Kevin and I were lucky enough to have Sarah sing at our wedding, and she did an even more amazing job with this recital. In my book, you have to some really freakin big kahunas to get up in front of a bunch of people and perform solo. I was glad I had my camera along to get some pictures of it. Lately I've been working on number 13 on our pre-baby bucket list... "take up photography". I was pretty proud that I managed to snap a few photos in low light without flash that weren't completely blurry. Isn't Sarah gorgeous? I love the color of her dress.
Speaking of music... Kevin bought me tickets to Mumford and Sons tonight. He knows I've been listening to them quite a bit lately on my friends Steph's blog. Steph and I have been friends since junior high school and she is amazingly awesome - she just started a blog called The Bad Tourist. If you like Indie music you have to check out this playlist she created last week. Click here. I've been listening to it non-stop for over a week.
Here are some songs by Mumford and Sons for your enjoyment:

Amanda, Great photos! Thanks so much for coming and for officially documenting the event! With all of the preparations we had to do, Jamie forgot the camera at the hotel! Love you!
Aunt Kate
Thanks for the shout-out! I wish I were coming to the concert with you!!!! I have been wanting to see them- I should check Omaha concerts more often because the concert selection in Denver lately has been very disappointing.
Have fun, Love ya!
I just listened to the whole playlist at work. I love them! Wow!
You're welcome Aunt Kate. Thanks so much for inviting us out and taking us to dinner. We had a great time. I'll put the pictures on facebook this week. Lv ya!
Steph- I wish I you could go to the concert too! I heard you're coming back the first weekend in May for dress shopping with Kait. Can't wait to see you. Keep the playlists coming...
Stacie-
Yeah, they're pretty darn good. The pre-sale tickets all sold out, but maybe you could get tickets for the next batch. If you and Brad end up deciding to come, let me know. Have you been listening to anything good lately? You should post a playlist! Lv ya!
I was so stinkin' excited to hear about the concert that I called Brad and was like "CAN WE GO? CAN WE GO? CAN WE GO???" I went to buy tickets (thinking the concert was tonight) and realized it's not until June. :)
We plan to buy tickets on Friday - we'll see ya there!
haha! Hilarious. Let's get dinner or something beforehand! lv u
Yes, The first weekend in May, I'm thinking the 6th-8th. It should be fun!
Are you and Kevin doing something for your 1st anniversary?
