This day was one of the best days ever! When I found out that Secondhand Serenade was coming to Utah at Thanksgiving Point I was like I have to go! I love these guys! When I was looking online for tickets it said that a band called "Parachute" was also going to be there with Secondhand Serenade. I didn't know who Parachute was so I looked at there website and I listened to a few of there songs and they were pretty good! It said that Parachute was going to be in Ogden Utah on the 25th of July just a few hours before the concert signing autographs and singing at Hastings!! I totally flipped out! I told my mom and dad that they were gonna be at Hastings and that we had to go cuz it was a once and life time thing! All of my friends were out of town like seriously . . . so I asked my friend Jade to come with me but she couldn't come so I asked my friend Lindsey and she said she could go! I was so happy! We went and picked her up around 12:15 PM and then headed over to Hastings. When we first got there when we were parking we saw Parachute out at there car getting there guitars and stuff out of there trailer. I was like "oh my gosh there they are!!" So my dads like "lets park right next to them" i was so emabarrassed! Haha :) So as you can see while we were parked next to them I was taking pictures of them! Look at the pics below!

This is Nate and Will walking into Hastings! :D

This is Kit shutting there trailer!

So when we walked into Hastings we walked over to the little shop where they were going to be singing and signing autographs. We saw Will walkin up and down the aisle's of the magazines, so me and Lindsey went over to pretend like we were looking at magazines. We kept pushin eachother around saying "you go talk to him first," "no you" it was so funny! Then Will went over by his band and started setting up his guitar and stuff to get ready to sing. They were gonna start at 1:00 PM and this was about 12:45 PM. So we were like "oh crap now we have to go talk to him by his band." Haha we were too nervous so my dad finally said "ok i'll come with you guys to meet them." We're like "ok :)" so we go over to Parachute and my dad's like "are you guys Parachute" and they're like "ya" and my dads like "my daughter has tickets to your concert tonight" and they're like "oh cool whats your name" and i'm like "Whitney" and Will is like "Whitney" and he shook my hand! He gave me the biggest smile ever! I was gonna pass out I mean seriously I couldn't take my eyes off of him! :) Then my dad told me and Lindsey to stand by some of the guys from Parachute so we could get a picture with them. Notice that Will is standing right behind me and he is putting his hand on my shoulder!! Ahh! I was freaking out!! He is soo hot! He is a babe!

Parachute singing! :)

Look at that sexy man!

They took this pic on there phone and put it on facebook! It's awesome! :) This is all that was at Hastings for Parachute! We basically had them to ourselves! I mean we were the first ones there and to go meet them! We felt special! Haha :)

This is one of my favorite pictures!! So when I was getting there autographs Will signed my CD first and he was like "hey :) whats your name" and i said "whitney" and he's like "how do you spell it? Is it W-h-i-t-n-e-y?" and i'm like "yep" and he's like "awesome!" and smiled really big at me! Then I asked if we could get a picture with him and the group and he's like "of course" These guys were so awesome! They were so nice to me and Lindsey! :) Parachute rocks! Will and Whitney! AWW! Ok so when we walked out of Hastings we decided that before we were gonna leave that we were gonna go get a picture by there van and trailer! We had to wait for a minute to get a pic by there car cuz one of the guys from Parachute went out to there car to grab something so after they left to go back into Hastings we hurry and got a pic! It was so funny! Click on the picture to make it bigger cuz if you look by me a guy from Parachute left his food on the back of his car! Lindsey was touchin it, it was hilarious! She's like "AWW!" Haha :) I know your probably thinking that we're crazy but hey this is what we do!!

Me and Lindsey standing by there car with our CD's!!

This is my CD that all the guys signed! Notice that "Will" put "Whitney-Thanks!" and then he singed his name! Then the rest of the guys signed it! I was in heaven!

On our way to the conert! WHOO!! :D

Me and Tanner standing in line to get into the concert! The line was soo long! And we had to wait 45 minutes! Ugh it was so hot outside!!

This is the stage before the concert started. We were really close at first but then as soon as the concert started it was soo crazy!! People were shovin there ways through the crowd to get to the front of the crowd to be right by the stage and me and Tanner just happened to be right by them. Me and Tanner were getting pushed, stepped on, shoved, etc. IT WAS BIZARRE!! There was even a time when my shoe came off while somebody was pushin me around and I couldn't find it for a minute. Then me and Tanner got separated for a minute cuz of these stupid people! When finally we had enough of this whole craziness we decided just to go to the back of the crowd! We were sick of being all sweaty because your like an inch away from every person your standing by. So when you would touch someone your arms would like stick it was disgusting!! You had like no room to stand! So when we went behind the crazy crowd it was a lot better! You had more room and it didn't stink! Thank goodness! We were still really close to the stage!!

Haha this pic is funny cuz right when we took this picture notice the girls behind us smiling at our camera. We didn't even know who they were so we thought it was funny when they smiled in our picture.

This is the band "Single File" they were ok I guess. I mean they weren't the best singers but they were alright.

This is the band "We Shot The Moon" they did pretty good! They were handing out free sample CD's so Tanner went and got us one!

After "We Shot The Moon" sang me and Tanner were freaking out cuz we were just so excited for PARACHUTE!! I freakin love Parachute they are amazing! When they came out I was so happy and excited! Tanner had never heard of them before so when he heard them sing he really liked them! It was also Tanner's first BIG concert so he was just as excited and happy!!!

Whoo! What a hottay!! <3>
Awww I love this guy!! :D

Here's all of them singing!

This is Kit . . . another guy from the band Parachute!

I love when he sings!! His voice is amazing!!!

Sorry there is sooo many pics of Will I just love this guy! :) He's my favorite guy from Parachute!

After Parachute was done singing me and Tanner hurried over to the place where they were selling drinks cuz we were so thirsty!! We were all hot and sweaty from the crowd! So when we we finally got to the place to buy a drink the line was pretty long, it took like 10 or 15 minutes just to buy a drink. It was crazy! Luckily "Secondhand Serenade" didn't come out until we got back to our spots where we were standing. The crowd went crazy when "Secondhand Serenade" came out! Everybody just loves these guys I mean who wouldn't??? Haha! So guess what towards the end of the concert secondhand serenade said that they had a new album coming out that isn't released yet and they said they we would be the first ones to hear there new songs! It was so awesome! Me and Tanner thought it was soo cool! :) Secondhand Serenade also said that they love Salt Lake City cuz I guess when there first CD came out that Salt Lake City was the only place that would play there music on the radio! You could tell that he was just so happy to be there! He kept saying "oh i'm so happy you guys have no ideo!"

He's kind of hot! Haha :) He did a fantastic job! I love Secondhand Serenade!! Some of the best music ever!! <3

I'm so glad that I could go to this concert!! It was so much fun! I can't wait to see them sing again someday! I will definately be seeing Parachute again!! I love Parachute! They are my new favorite singers! :D Thanks Tanner for coming with me we had a blast!! :)
