wildflowers

you belong among the wild flowers

you belong somewhere close to me

far away from your trouble and worry

you belong somewhere you feel free

it's one of those songs that never really gets old.

and it makes me happy. and that's always plus. 

d & a

my brother and sister are kinda weird.

and most of the time they're pretty annoying.

but i miss them, a lot.

only three more months until i go home.

i can hardly wait to see them,

but i'm pretty sure the excitement will wear off

in those few short minutes it takes to walk to the car at the airport.

but i'm still excited.

oh, rexburg

i'm headed to good ol' rexburg in the morning.

and let me just start by saying- rexburg and i do not get along.

the last time we were together i nearly lost my keys on the side of road.

not to mention the parking ticket and hitting someone with a broom at walmart.

let's just say that i was pretty happy once we crossed the border back into utah.

goal this weekend: make rexburg my friend. wish me luck.

soundtrack of my life

i love music. a lot. any excuse to make a new playlist, i'll take it.

i'm pretty open to pretty much any kind of music. latest obsession? country. yes, country. 

i've been thinking lately about what the soundtrack of my life would be,

some songs just take me back to a memory, a person, a place.

and every time i hear one of them i'm instantly transported back in time.

Fall For You - Secondhand Serenade

Colder Weather - Zac Brown Band

The House That Built Me - Miranda Lambert

Wildflowers - Tom Petty

Elephant Love Medley - Moulin Rouge

the semester is over.

and that means i can do absolutely nothing.

and not feel guilty about it. 

the next week will probably consist of a whole lot of laziness complete with:

and of course,

American Honey

I love concerts. I've seen most of my favorite artists in concert (including Michael Buble, Justin Timberlake, and the Goo Goo Dolls) and I've been able to add another favorite to that list: Lady Antebellum. I knew that they were coming to Salt Lake for months but I never actually followed through with getting tickets or anything. With only a week until the concert, my friend Jessica scored some tickets and the countdown begun! We started listening to Lady A all the time and we got more and more excited the closer it got. The day came and we were so ready that I think we were in the arena a good two hours before it even started. We found our seats, bought band t-shirts, and we were ready. They opened the show with We Owned the Night and closed it with Need You Now, and they played all their best songs in between. My favorite? American Honey. I mean, all the songs were amazing. But for some reason I just love that one, so when they started singing it you can probably imagine how happy I was. All in all, Lady A was hands down one of the best concerts I've ever been to. 

Thumbs up for Lady A!

Zwanzig

That's right, I'm twenty. And my life has been completely different from anything I ever imagined. And guess what? I've loved every second of it. I've had some pretty amazing experiences that I'll always remember and I know that I've been so lucky to have.

Celebrating my birthday in Germany with my family was complete with homemade Cafe Rio pork salads, Heath bar cake, and more webcam pictures with the brother and sister than I can count. My actual birthday in Utah included school, Olive Garden, fro yo, best friends, family, birthday breakfasts, and of course, Settlers of Catan. And believe it or not, the day after my birthday I was offered a kids menu. A KIDS MENU.

The absolutely delicious cake my mama made me :)
