TIFFYAMA

On August 25, I attended one of Taylor Swift's EPIC 1989 world tour shows at the Los Angeles Staples Center, and it seriously was one of the best concerts I had ever seen. I wasn't too big of a fan of TSwizzle before her 1989 album, but I still admired her music and her overall persona. Fast forward to when her first single "Shake it Off," which was soon followed by the release of her 5th studio album, I was hooked.

I am still experiencing some 1989 post concert withdrawals. She performed all of the tracks from 1989 along with some old school favorites AND she even invited John Legend as one of her special guests for the night. They sang "All of Me" together and it brought tears to my eyes. EPIC. Wishing her the best of luck on the rest of her tour and I hope fans around the nation and world will all get to experience the power of T.Swift, live in concert.

My first road trip of the summer in July was to to Sedona, Arizona. My family, MR.MR, and I went to visit family and spent some time away from LA which was definitely a nice breath of fresh air (literally.) I didn't even have any mobile reception over there, which turned out to work out just fine. (Goodbye, technology...)

Sedona is known for its beautiful red rocks that have "healing" properties and it's reputation for being a place where visitors can meditate. We didn't do much mediating, but we did do a bit of hiking in what looked like the real life Carsland. The views were seriously breathtaking. Even though we did not make it through the entire hike, seeing some of Arizona's natural landscapes was awesome.

I rarely get to see the sites in Arizona even though my family visits every year (my mom was born in Arizona; heck, I haven't even been to the Grand Canyon yet), but it was great seeing family again and having our traditional barbecues with freshly caught and fried fish along with some beer-butt chicken. Yum!
