Birthday Week!

Sorry I've been gone. It's been a pretty awesome week filled with awesomeness. It was also muchly needed. I feel so much more reenergized and ready to tackle school/life again. Seeing all the people and friends who love me and care was amazing, especially all the friends I've made in the last month. I'm not even physically here all the time, yet they all care about me so much and were willing to give up a night of homework to watch my favorite movie with me, even when that movie is We Bought A Zoo. It still surprises me how different the people here are. I was expecting me to be the only one who enjoyed the movie, and everyone else to tease me about it. But they all got into the movie as well and we were all almost crying when Matt Damon cries. See, since he's also Jason Bourne, its a very big deal when that man sheds tears. When Matt Damon cries, everybody cries.

The bestby spent the whole day with me which was amazing. He got to have a taste of dorm life, and see why I have trouble doing homework and sleeping at times. Oh well :) Him being there all day was the best present he could have ever given me. Of course my sweet boy wrote me the sweetest note and had beautiful flowers as well. Oh man. I never quite understood the power simple things like notes and flowers could have but they made my day. I love looking at them on my desk.

My mom was even able to see me which made everything even better. She drove down with flowers as well as my favorite candies. Even though I was only able to see her for a little bit it made the day special. She's my mom, my best friend, and also the woman who made my birthday possible.

The whole day was so busy and I was caught up in the moment, so this is the only picture I have from my birthday. But it didn't end there, oh no. I got to have an entire birthday week. On Wednesday, it smelt beautiful because of the rain, but not too much rain. I got to have burrito for lunch. Funny story. I was sitting on this bench with Sammy, eating our food when I thought it'd be fun to throw a hot sauce packet at the window. I entertained myself for a good  five minutes bouncing sauce packets off this window. 

Then I took a good look into the window. There was a conference going on on the other side and everyone was wearing business suits. Some of the people were staring at me throwing my hot sauce packet. Haven't laughed that hard in awhile.

Thursday I headed up for a doctor's appointment, but had some time in between so I visited my poor yearbook friends who are unfortunately trapped in high school still. It was so good seeing them again. I sat in a chair waiting for them to come in, and when they finally did, they stared at me for a moment and then started screaming. One friend even jumped up on me. She's lucky all this walking around towns made me stronger otherwise I might not have caught her haha!

Friday. Oh Friday. Kelsey came down and then we went to see Imagine Dragons. They were opening for AWOL Nation, but we were only there to see them. Imagine out disappointment when we realize they have to share some of their time with some sucky wanna be rap dupstep band. I don't even know what they were doing. Kelsey thought the drummer was cute though so we got a picture with them afterwards. 

*The computer isn't letting me upload the pictures at the moment, so I will upload them tomorrow morning.*

And then Imagine Dragons came on. Completely and utterly mind blowingly amazing. I couldn't believe how good they were live. Their cd's don't do them justice. I was amazed at all of the bands abilities to play everything. They do everything themselves. Every little odd noise you may hear, the four of them do it. It wasn't some stand in musician. Absolutely amazing. And we got to meet him!!! We waited where the sucky band was meeting fans, and waited and waited, almost giving up hope. But then Kelsey saw him, standing over there with his hoodie on. He autographed my ticket and we got a picture with him. He was on vocal restrictions so he couldn't talk but it was still amazing. He was all smiles and so nice. AND HE DIDN'T SMELL LIKE ALCOHOL!!!!!!!

It was a concert to remember. But with the t shirt and the ticket, I won't be going to any other concerts for awhile. Plus, the screaming was so loud it made me dizzy. That's got to be really loud. And all the drunk 40 year old ladies dancing like teenagers was a bit disturbing. It was really cute when this boy came up to Kelsey and asked her what her name was. They had an awkward conversation until he asked her age. When he realized she was an adult and he was 15, he said I'm gonna go now. Totally cracked me up. 

My birthday week ended with spending a day with my mom, mexican food, and birthday cake. Sadly, I still can't blow out all the candles. I'm so thankful for all the people who love me and care about me and made this past week utterly amazing and unforgettable.

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...
I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
