Hello!

So today marks the first day of my Spring Break, and it definitely feels like it. The air is so clean and crisp and the sky is blue and cloudless. So beautiful! If there were leaves on the trees, you might think it to be a clear autumn day. The snow is finally melting and i think that spring might be here a little early this year! It was a pretty harsh winter, so i'll be happy to see the last of the ice melt away off the sidewalks....also since that means i can ditch the treadmill and start doing my long runs outside again.

other than the weather...went to the johnmayer concert at the Qwest Center last night here is the set list.(yes i kept track of what he played)..he left me speechless once again:

Heartbreak Warfare

Last weekend, the band Rebelution played at the Slowdown, a concert venue set up by Omaha's own Connor Oburst (lead singer of the band Bright Eyes). The crowd was a mixed bag, with many of the Hawaii kids making the trip down to see the reggae band in action. The show was by no means a disapointment- they band was great the joint was "bumping". i loved seeing some familiar faces, and some new ones too!

other exciting news...I've got tickets to see john mayer in action coming up at the beginning of next month- I also got to see him 2 years ago when i was a sophomore, he usually makes a stop in omaha about once a year.Read more . . .
