Cheers To The Weekend

The weekend has come and gone.

Is it Friday yet?

Just kidding...

But really.

I love the feeling you get on Friday at the end of the work day.

But isn't the feeling you get on Sunday night the worst?

Anyways, this summer has been full of amazingly crazy weekends.

Here are some highlights from this last one:

Friday:

It started off with the Rooftop Concert Series in downtown Provo.

I highly recommend going to these concerts if you haven't already.

Such a fun atmosphere and always a talent filled set.

These guys captured my attention from the very beginning. 

Don't let the name of their band detour you from falling in love with them. :)

After the concert I went home and went to the gym.

What 21 year old does that?

Who am I?

Saturday:

If you know me at all you know how much I love to go out and eat!

So since it was Michelle's last Saturday in Provo *tear*

she got to pick where we went to breakfast!

Kneader's is always a good decision.

(Especially the one in the Riverwoods since it just opened

and is not nearly as crowded as the one on Bulldog Blvd.)

I usually get their french toast but decided to branch out and

get an omelette. Another good decision. 

THEN

We ran into this guy!

Saturday night I crossed an item off of my bucket list.

I went shooting. 

Can you believe it?

I got a little country on ya'll. 

I actually LOVED it.

Even though it scared me so bad I'm pretty sure I was shaking.

I hit four clay pigeons! BAM. 

Take that Annie Oakley.

And who knew guns were so heavy??

(and by that I mean that is probably common knowledge

known to everyone but me)

Anyways, it was super fun and I'd do it again.

I still don't think I could actually kill anything though.

Except for maybe a cat...

Sunday:

Went to church.

Still working on my fear of bearing my testimony in public.

Then Zack invited us over for dinner.

And it was quite the dinner!

Zack is an amazing cook and made us tacos.

Also, he works at Los Hermanos so he brought back some chips

and salsa from work. Yummmmm. 

I could eat chips and salsa for days.

So there it is.

Keep on keepin' on till the next Friday :)

Music Monday

This is what I'll be rocking out to today.

Happy Monday everyone.

Don't forget to smile.

Just Turn The Page

"You know what? Just move on.

Move on with life, & leave those who

don't care about you behind.

Don't stress over anyone anymore.

Don't continue to hold on to those words

& promises they've once told you. 

They proved themselves wrong,

all it did was hurt you.

Just keep fighting. 

Move on because they were just a chapter in the past-

but don't close the book.

Keep your head up high 

and just turn the page."

I think we all experience growing pains eventually.

Some more than others.

And some more often than others.

The last three years have certainly been filled with them.

But it's not as bad as you think it will be

when you're first starting off on your own.

You will feel more pain than you might have know.

Yes.

You might be more afraid of the future than 

you thought you could be.

Probably.

But I promise that there is always a new beginning.

A new chapter that is better than the last.

Everything always works out.

I promise.

And it's okay to be afraid.

Groban's Garden

You know those little gems you find on youtube

late at night on a Sunday?

Well, my roommate Michelle (Meesh) showed me this.

If you didn't love Josh Groban already.

You will now.

Is anyone else unbelievably excited for this to come out?

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower 

This makes me really excited to embrace my quirkiness. 

Step Up Revolution

Wednesday night Lucas and I went and saw 

Step Up Revolution.

I definitely walked in being very skeptical of this movie because

basically the only movie out of all 4 Step Up movies that I have
liked was the very first one with Channing Tatum.

But I was pleasantly surprised!

This movie brought me back to my dancing days

and Step Up Revolution really made me want to just start dancing right there in the movie theatre.

I guess I could have cause we were the only ones there...
But anyways,

I actually loved the actors/actresses and the choreography 

which in the past it seemed to be either one or the other was actually good.

I highly recommend going to this movie for all you dance lovers out there.

Moose might have even made a surprise appearance ;)

And seriously... I need the soundtrack. NOW.

Here's a clip to get you motivated.

 Yep, we even saw it in 3D.

Just A Little Bit Of Happiness

So I finished the 5 seasons of Friday Night Lights.

Sad day.

Clear eyes, full hearts, CAN'T LOSE!

I miss Coach Taylor.

Haven't heard of Friday Night Lights?

Check this out.

So maybe I watch too much TV?

It's Summer. I can do that, right?

Anyways, you know that feeling when you finish a really good book series

and you're so depressed because you fell in love with all the characters?

THAT is also how I feel about really well written TV shows.

So after finishing FNL I decided I needed a rebound. 

I surfed around Netflix for some ideas and came across 

Heroes.

And what a good rebound it is!!

I'm so obsessed.

I'm only on the first season but I'm so in love.

Is it sad that I love inanimate objects this much?

Cause I do.

And I'm ok with it.

Anyways, word on the street is that the only good seasons of Heroes are the first two (out of five). So that kind of puts a damper on my love affair but I am willing to be open minded and see where things go between us ;)

Haven't heard of Heroes?

Check this out.

If you haven't figured this out by now...

I totally nerd out about little things.

It's the little things that count right?
:)
