Music Monday

Song that I am lovin today. Also, pictures from tumblr that I am also lovin.



Classy Girls by the Lumineers

Well, she was standing in the bar
I said, "Hello, how do you do?"
She handed me a beer with a kangaroo.

She spoke of places I had never been
That she had traveled to
And we slow danced along to faster tunes

And I made her laugh, I made a pass,
I showed her my half dollar ring
She said, "That's pretty cool,
But classy girls don't kiss in bars, you fool"

(No they don't)

So later on the crowd calmed down
And I believe it was as if something drew me closer to her lips

So picture my surprise when I had tried to lean in for a kiss
And she just smiled and turned her head down

I asked her, "Why?" and she replied
It was nothing I was doing wrong, it's just what it is.
No, classy girls don't kiss in bars like this

No, classy girls don't kiss in bars
Boys will break their backs and hearts
But it's alright, the hardest part is through.

Throwback Thursday


One thing, I probably miss the most right now, is my other family member and best friend Holly Dagg. Dagg, that girl is fine ;) haha. I miss how we would hang out with Janie all the time, we would get together at 10:30 pm because we would all be busy during the day and hang out at night. I miss longboarding and fooling around, laughing constantly, and being hilarious and ridiculous. 







It's funny because that's the night I taught her how to longboard, and we took pictures together and walked around town, but it seems like the majority of the photos mysteriously disappeared so she couldn't send me more...haha doesn't matter. Love that kid.






Alright, Alright, Here's the BYU Update


My Mom and I before she left


Jared and Sunshine excited to be back at school
All of us looking Crazy

So I kind of love it so much.
Finally learning what I want to learn.
Finally doing what I want to do.

So my mom drove down with us, so she was here for the first few days. That actually was super helpful since she is always so organized and helped me to be all ready and organized for school. We also did some hiking together. We went to Bridal Veil Falls like 20 minutes away I believe and Sammy, Sunshine's brother came with us too!

During orientation, I had to go to an international student meeting because I am foreign in the US. Anywho, so I ended up winning a free Jamba Juice because of my amazing artist skills haha.

Ermagersh Universherity!

I have the best room mate and wonderful girls all living in my hall. I even met another blogger!
This is her blog btw's: http://sincerely-ericamichelle.blogspot.com/

 Soon after we got there, the day before classes started, it was my roommate's birthday! Woo! So of course we had to do some exciting stuff. We sang and ate and went to some activities and had late night pancakes and got caught in the rain.

The Canadians! Me, Ty and Auburn on her birthday at FHE

Anywho, it's just great. I have tons of homework, the food is meh or really good but super fattening and so on and so forth. My favorite class is definitely Accounting, the Professor is phenomenal.  He's so good that I actually get up early to go class at 8! 

There is also this place which is kind of hilarious but super rad is called The Wall. It's like a mormon bar, so there's like sodas and karaoke and bands play and it's like a lounge. it's pretty great though. Anywho here's another gang picture.

Tiffany, me, Jacob, Chris (up), Ty, Dylan, Danial
I'm meeting lots of people, I've hiked the Y, there are always tons of activities going on. So it's pretty interesting.  I've currently been swamped in homework but it's all doable, and going swell so far.

Auburn- hiking the Y

Roomies

So sassy


Cady, Auburn and I - love them!
The Hike to the Y was actually not as easy as I thought it was going to be, but definitely still a very fun hike.  We packed some subway sandwiches and went up that mountain and it was a party with these hilarious and great people.



Went to the Parachute concert last week in Salt Lake. It was my first official concert other than Down With Webster at the Coca Cola Stage at stampede. It was a lot of fun, and they were great live. There was some shenaniganning downtown after we waited for the train back to Provo, but it was great. I even got a picture with the lead singer of the opening band Paradise Fears.




The weather is hot and beautiful and other than some rain storms every now and then it's like super hot weather.  It's already snowed in Calgary I see, while I'm just wearing t-shirts everyday still because anything more is too hot!

I even finally received stationary in the mail so I can send letters to missionaries and friends and junk. It's pretty exciting stuff. Anywho, here is my crazy all over the place recap of the BYU life.

A love like that

Lyrics:

Came in together, but you held me
The process walking right through that door, at the entry
I can't seem to remember, the lights were so bright
And the disco-ball blurred in the turn of that night
But it was perfect I was told the tux was starched and all
Grabbed the glass of punch nervousness, structured by that wall
Arms folded, myself I didn't know yet
Until you came over, stood by me, you posted
You put your hand out like I was stranded
Tried to pull me on that dance floor
I stepped backwards
See I wasn't ready yet, but you were my medicine
Showed me that trust through that love that you held me with
our backs against the wall as the DJ would spin
The soundtrack had changed as he played that mix
Our lives flashed in front of us, just a glimpse
We were together and experience this



You finally pulled me up, I didn't want to
But you filled me up, from the bottom of my heart
And as we walked through that gymnasium that I'd been watching
Feeling like my chest would explode from my heartbeat
To the middle of the floor I almost panicked
You put your hand out and I fearfully grabbed it
The most beautiful thing that I'd seen on this planet
She laughed 'cause you could tell that I didn't know how to dance yet
We started moving
And I, didn't know what I was doing
You whispered, "don't you love music
it's such a gift and I'll give it to ya
But you gotta use it"
I strayed
You brought me back in
trying to sneak a flask outside of that gym
She said "You don't need that, look within"
She hugged me, looked into my eyes, she gave me a kiss
And she said "I can't help you, if you don't let me
You're here to live just be, don't forget me
The end of this dance you don't want to regret me, live
'Cause tonight you'll all be set free"



Last dance the DJ yelled
looked into her eyes and I could see myself
Slow motion, frozen, toast of this moment
Like there is no morning, like there is no morning
No emotions, you on my shoulder
Me lead and you follow
As we circle the floor like the globe
Through this infinite mass
Makes us seem so small
With you in my hand like the skyline holds the stars
not letting go, but I can't hold on
Fading through my fingertips, watching us fall
I try to catch you with my arms
I would never take you for granted when I had you in my palms
To all I ever wanted, please play my song
And put the record to the needle, don't ever touch that off switch
You are perfect, forget that prom dress
My God, seconds away from God yes
Somebody turned the heat on in this party
Or we're becoming one because I'm melting into your body
one being, heartbeating, universe falling
The ground split right between us and that concrete
Separated my love, I could hear her calling
Separated, but I could hear her calling
Goodbye forever, never see you again
Winterball 2012, The End


So I pretty much just love Macklemore and Ryan Lewis by the way. Yeah.
