Backstreets Back ALRIGHT!

Backstreet Boys!

Once upon a time (about 11 years ago). I was a pre-teen that loved a boy band calls the BackStreet Boys, and now at age 22 NOTHING HAS CHANGED!

Last night I went with Annie and Brandi to see "the comeback concert of the year" and yes it was the BackStreet Boys. It was amazing. We went to the training table for the one and only cheese fries and then off to the Energy Solutions Arena.

I have to say this was one of the funniest things I have done in a while! I loved this group when I was little and I'm pretty sure I love them just as much today. For your viewing pleasure I have included wonderful pictures below!

AJ - I knew I had good taste all these years!

BSB - united again! (minus the eye brows guys)

"Larger than life"

This big crowd - and we only have eyes for them

ANNIE

Happy 23 Miss Palmer!

Annie! Happy Birthday! I can believe we are getting soooo old... Its a little depressing! I cant believe the woman you have become (not a drunk, or any fun). In all seriousness though, you are not only my cousin but my best friend. You always know what to say and are always there. You are intelligent and full of life. Your an inspiration to us all!

Thanks for everything you do! I hope this year is filled with many hiking trips and lots of love from your son! Happy 23!!!

Fathers Day

This trip was a blast. It started out rough with some car troubles, but ended up being the time of a lifetime! Em turned 21 and we couldnt have had more fun. We went to see some shows and walked the stip until our feet hurt. Not to mention it was over 100 degrees while we were there!!
