The Prep: That One Time We Met Taylor Swift - Part 1

There are days in life where every single detail will be clearly etched in your brain for the rest of your life. A day that will live in our hearts forever. It's been one month to the day since this magical day and to commemorate the anniversary I decided it was high time to write about it on my blog! The six part story starts today! I wanted to capture each and every moment of this exciting event. If you decide to read it all I hope that you enjoy it. 

THE PREPARATIONS

The day began bright and early. Well I guess technically the preparations began late the night before with a midnight trip to Walmart to buy RED shirts and spray paint. Exhausted from a restless night of sleep. Today was the day. The day we were going to do our best to get into Club Red to meet Taylor Swift.

I was the first person awake and decided to start preparations on our shirts. I used the Cricut to start cutting out the words "Happy, Free, Confused and Lonely in the Best Way." I decided to use different fonts and then started testing the way it looked. Krystal awoke about the time I started testing and she immediately started helping spray paint the words, in black onto our shirts! She would hold the words as I sprayed. You can imagine how black her hands ended up after this experience. Especially since somebody kept forgetting to pay attention to which direction the nosel was pointed!

After we had finished the first shirt we had some sparkles we wanted to use as well. We didn't know if we wanted it all over the shirt or just the words. We decided to test the entire shirt and it was like magic! Seriously whoever invented spray sparkles is a genius  It took the shirts from great to fabulous!! We were so excited we burst in on sleeping Karli and Paisley to show them. They weren't too thrilled about that. :) I wish you could see it better on the shirts! Just imagine super sparkly and you'll get the idea! :D 

Krystal and I busted out 6 shirts in a little over an hour! That's 6 different words sets, on 6 different shirts. We made quite the team and are now considering opening a spray paint shirt business!! Karli and Paisley made us DELICIOUS breakfast sandwiches while we painted. It was a pretty perfect morning. Except for maybe the fact that our apartment was a MESS! 

Krystal wanted a hand heart, but I had NO IDEA how to draw that. Luckily I had a stroke of brilliance and realized if we used a flashlight to project her hands onto the wall we could easily trace it. I didn't know how it would work out, but it went perfectly! We were quite pleased by the way it turned out!

It was about the time we finished spray painting when I realized I only had 45 minutes until I had to leave for my cousins Bridal shower, and I still needed to trace out our letters and hand heart!! I took the fastest shower I have ever taken in my life and then proceeded to speed trace all the letters while Karli brushed my hair and Paisley started cutting.

It was a MIRACLE that I was ready when my sister showed up at our door to pick me up! I was gone for a little over 3 hours and in that time Karli, Krystal,   Matt and Paisley managed to cut, cover in tinfoil and light almost all of our letters! They also added a big 13, and Red Tour to the back of all the shirts! Miracle of the day #2! I helped a little when I got home, painted my nails red and at 4:30 sharp we headed for Salt Lake!
