First time for everything

I love U2. I mean I really, really enjoy them- as was proven/stated in my 2 previous posts. There are a lot of other things/people/ ideas/ etc. that I love. I think it's important to be passionate about life...even if it's interpreted as being "dramatic"... Either way, life is meant to be enjoyed not just endured (Thank you President Hinckley) and so with that said, I love it when I meet people who have evident passions...because I think it is so contagious. Trying new things is definitely a goal of mine...I'm usually up for most things (eating an entire box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts, running 26.2 miles?) so when I'm given the opportunity to do/try something completely new...well as the following pictures convey..I think I'm usually game.

Ya I paid $20 bucks and watched the Mayweather vs. Marquez fight in a crowded Sports Club with Boxing enthusiasts...learned so much about the sport and thoroughly enjoyed myself- some might say it's my latin blood or just the fact that I have 4 brothers..either way, a good fight is right up my alley.

On the softer side of life..an Ingrid Michaelson concert at the 9:30 Club in DC was so incredibly awesome. Loved it!! Merrilyn turned me onto her and then cousin Lauren and so on and so forth. She is even better live. Such a great show, I'd see her again anytime.

Enjoying Ingrid with a couple of my favorite ladies in DC.

Ubah's wedding. Oh my hilariously complex colleague! We had a blast these last 9 months at work together...we were hired the same day. She an Indian Muslim..and I, well a Mormon..we had some great, great chats. Her wedding was a first for me. I'd never been to either an Indian wedding nor a Muslim wedding.

This is where they sat for their ceremony and for most of the night it seemed. It was very different than what I expected, but such a cool experience.

Isn't she gorgeous?! I love her dress!

Another first...no, not dancing with a white boy. I have actually done that a few times ;). This would be us getting our groove on to Chuck Brown in downtown DC , ya listen to this. You know it. Dan (pictured here) loves Chuck Brown and invited a bunch of us down to appreciate the Orginator of "go-go"Funk.

Another first would be me getting my groove on in public (well I have done that before) and getting hit on by a man half my size and twice my age..he just couldn't resist the hip action I had going on. Haha. It was too funny.

So to all of you readers out there, please, invite me along the next time you're doing something you love solo...life's too short not to share what we love.
