MONUMENTOUR.
I don't know what it is, but my college roommate/best friend, Chelsea, always brings out the punk rock in me. We surrounded ourselves by young kids and rocked out to Fall Out Boy on a humid July night. We've been obsessed with their last album, Save Rock and Roll, for the past year or so taking the plunge and joining teens swooning over Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz. Paramore started off the show and we ended the night singing old and new songs from the band we fell in love with in college.
Where's the beef?
Jeremy and I came across a list of the best burgers in Charlotte and we've been happily eating our way around the Queen City ever since. Stay tuned for a blog from Jeremy coming your way. Here's a sneak peak of the goodness that has entered our bellies.
Keep Pounding.
It's not summer without the Panther's Fan Fest. We enjoyed seeing the new additions to the stadium and the start of training camp for our beloved Panthers. Can you believe it's been 20 years since we've joined the NFL?! We ended the night with the best fireworks and light show around. Not kidding...it was pretty amazing.
Life in Chucks.
I don't know what it was about this summer but I was a chucks fanatic. I was happy to add a new pair of fresh, white kicks to my collection.
King of Pops.
Another new obsession. You guys, these are the BEST popsicles around. All-natural handmade pops made from local produce and dairy have entered my life and there is no going back. Chocolate Sea Salt, raspberry lime and watermelon mojito are some of the flavors I've fallen head over heals for. I mean, COME ON. It just doesn't get better than that. You better believe I break into my happy dance when I see that their cart is near.
Tomato, Tamato.
After many failed attempts at growing my tomato plant, I finally succeeded! After drowning the poor thing twice, I finally got some buds, sprouts and a good old fashioned red tomato. I was a little worried when our first three had rotted on the bottom but have no fear, the fourth one that appeared was a beauty! Couldn't be happier! Next year, I'll at least know the Do's and Dont's of Gardening 101.
Summer of YES.
My favorite, Jason Mraz, has done it again. He has released another amazing album that is nothing but love to my ears. While watching his new music video, I noticed that we had the same shower curtain. Totally only a thing I would notice but I had to recreate the moment. I mean....who wouldn't?
Matt Nathanson & Gavin DeGraw Summer Tour.
Elyse, Rachel and I enjoyed a night of good music, food and pops under the stars. Matt Nathanson had us laughing throughout his entire set and Gavin DeGraw had us singing those familiar tunes from those One Tree Hill days. We also got to meet Matt after the show! Such a sweet guy!
Movie Reel.
Jeremy and I are suckers for a good movie. Let's Be Cops had us laughing for two hours straight, TMNT had us craving pizza afterwards and Guardians of the Galaxy was surprisingly awesome.
Oddball Comedy Fest.
A collection of comedians featuring Hannibal Buress and Aziz Ansari kept us laughing throughout the night. Aziz is now a new favorite in the Singleton household.
The Gospel Tour.
I relived those college days once again when Chelsea asked me to go to the Panic! at the Disco show. As we were waiting for Panic to start the show, we had the best time scrolling through old photos from the last time we saw them together back in 2006.

Native Summer Tour.
The last show of the summer season belonged to Jamie Scott, The Script and One Republic. I joined Elyse and Rachel once again as we brought the blankets out and sat below the stars listening to the upbeat sounds of Ryan Tedder. I'll miss these care free summer nights of pops and chucks but will happily welcome the cooler breeze and fall television shows once September rolls around. Summer 2014 has been a good one...a summer I won't forget.
