the one about taylor swift

last friday evening, my roommate amy and our good friend liz had a very romantic friendship dinner together. we celebrated valentine's day with red balloons and streamers, rosy candles, and fake flowers.

i played chef for the night and treated my lovely ladies to a hearty dinner of rosemary bread with seasoned olive oil, beef filets wrapped in bacon, caprese salad, heart shaped roasted potatoes, and fondue for dessert. say what. i think i crossed the threshold from lazy young professional to domestic goddess with those tricks.

the highlight of the evening, though, was surprising my roommate with tickets to see taylor swift in september. yes, september. as in eight months away. i've never planned that far ahead for anything in my life.

my roommate is a huge taylor swift fan, and swifty is coming to raleigh in september, the day after my roommate's birthday. fate? yup. my friend liz and i had the genius idea to buy tickets for the three of us the second they went on sale. our original plan was to keep it a secret until the day of the concert when we would just stick her in the car and drive her to the arena!

our plans changed slightly when, about a month ago, my roommate decided she was moving to england in the fall (sort of long story for another post), so we had to reveal the surprise a little sooner than we wanted. the reveal was perfect, and she literally jumped around the apartment screaming and thrashing about. i love this girl to pieces and she deserved a big, fun present like this. 

so, tay swift, here we come! we'll be the girls with bright red lips towering above all of the tweens in the audience. i doubt we'll be the oldest? but even if we are, all three of us were blessed with killer genes and could easily pass for 16. or, like 22. because, i don't know about you, but i'm feeling twenty twoooooo.
