This is no understatement. I seriously am the luckiest girl in the world. No competition. I have the most amazing boyfriend in the entire world. And I am going to marry him (this was pretty much already decided before I got pregnant, so it's not a surprise to us.) But just to give you and example of how amazing Jake really is...I'll let you in on some news.
One of my favorite....FAVORITE artists of ALL time is Dallas Green. Currently, he is on tour with his folk/acoustic group, City and Colour, and generally they do very small US tours, IF they do them at all. When they do, they generally will only play in larger cities: (IE: Chicago, LA, Seattle, etc.). But mostly play in Canada (where they're from) and Europe.
Anyways, on their current tour, the closest city they are playing in is Denver. Yesterday while I was at work, I wasn't having a totally awesome day (it wasn't bad either, just sort of "blah") and I got a text from Jake. Here's how that texting conversation went...
Needless to say, I was speechless. I absolutely LOVE Dallas Green/City and Colour. This man's voice is seriously the most beautiful thing to ever fill my ear holes (AND he's not that bad looking either! :)
Jake likes his music just as much, if not more so than I do. He's the one who got me into Alexisonfire in high school (Dallas Green's post-harcore band that still tours occasionally), and then introduced me to City and Colour earlier this year.
I'm so excited and can't WAIT to go!!

For those of you who haven't heard City and Colour's music, here are a few YouTube clips for you to experience the awesomeness of Dallas Green's voice. Prepare for goosebumps!
"Hello, I'm in Delaware" (from the "Sometime's" album)
"Constant Knot" (from the "Bring Me Your Love" album)
"We Found Each Other in The Dark" (from the "Little Hell" album)
"Fragile Bird" (from the "Little Hell" album)
"Casey's Song" (from the "Sometimes" album)
Enjoy!

Michael and I got each other concert tickets for our anniversary. It's a great gift. What's cool is when you get to see your favorite band playing your favorite song and they emphasize right where you emphasize and you can tell that they meant it the way that you mean it. I love that. I felt that way at Jimmy Eat World. He got emotional at the parts that I did when I was listening to the albums and crying and totally lost. It made me feel so connected to them. I got chills just writing this. :) Anyway, awesome gift.
