I don't care how old or cheesy this song gets. It always makes my heart skip a beat.


The summer after my freshman year (almost 2 years ago, ah) I saw Secondhand Serenade in concert with Lexie. It was so fun :) Did you know Lexie is getting married in less than 2 months!?

Somebody I Used To Know

Thank you Sam Hadlock for showing me this cover of Somebody I Used To Know. I have fallen in love with this song twice now.

Let's play pretend.

"White demon let us be in love. Let's do old and gray. I won't make you cry. I will never stray. I will do my part. Let us be in love tonight."



I am at peace with the universe and myself. And I like it.
I also like music... a lot. a lot. a lot.

I have a problem...

It is loving too many TV shows. Now I really don't like spending a lot of time watching TV... But lately I have had some extra time on my hands and ended up watching some of these new shows. AND THEY ARE ALL SO GOOD! Once the semester starts speeding up I know there will be absolutely no way to watch any of these. But I wanted to share some of my favorites :)

Once Upon A Time:

This is one of my all time favorites right now. I am a sucker for fairy tales and this show is a non traditional twist on some of the stories we grew up with. Characters from our favorite stories are trapped in our modern day world by the evil witch. They have forgotten who they are but one outsider named Emma can unlock the evil curse and set them free. Everyone needs to watch this show at least once!

The Bachelor:

This show is a classic. There is something that makes women all across America tune in every season to see if the bachelor or bachelorette will find love. Even though we all know they will break up eventually, haha. I am not a huge fan of Ben but the women this season are so crazy. My favorite is definitely Kasey B. And I still think Shawntel should have gotten a rose last episode :\ *sigh* future bachelorette, maybe?

One Tree Hill:

My all time favorite show since high school just premiered the beginning of the last season! :( It started off with a bang. It began showing the future and things to come. Someone dies!? It better not be Nathan. After a 20 second clip foreshadowing what is to come it goes back to more peaceful times. So sad this show is ending but it looks like it is gonna be one of the best!

Revenge:

One of my friends told me to watch this show and one night over winter break I caught a piece of it on TV. From that moment on I was hooked. I can't put a finger on why this show is so addicting but it's got to be something about scheming, Emily Thorne, and her puppets in her plan for revenge. Once you begin watching Emily's plan unfold, you have to find out how it ends.


Pretty Little Liars:
3 words
Aria + Mr. Fitz

Seriously the only reason why I watch this show is to watch the complicated relationship of Aria and Ezra Fitz. I love these 2. I have no idea how they are going to end up together but if they don't I will stop watching the show, serious. Also, this season you finally find out who the mysterious A is!


The Secret Circle:

I heard this show was really good so yesterday I watched the pilot. I seriously love it! That is the only episode I have seen but the mysteries just keep piling up. There are a lot of mystery shows on TV right now, I think producers are finally catching on to something... What else would keep us viewers hooked? We have to find out what happens!!

K, I know I sound seriously lame for having seen this many TV shows lately... But... yep, no excuses that's basically right. Haha. Here is to enjoying mindless TV while I can!

The Buried Life

Way back when I was starting college in 2009 I fell in love with the boys of The Buried Life. If you don't know who they are watch this trailer of their show.






Left to right: Dave, Ben, Duncan, and Jonnie


So back in April when the new UVUSA council begins they told us to write down a goal for the upcoming school year... and this was mine.

Yesterday they came to UVU and did a presentation :) It was such an amazing experience for me! On Monday I got to pick them up from the airport... They were all very nice and thankful. I talked to most with Jonnie because we picked him up later so it was less intimidating. Dave is definitely as funny as he looks on TV and he was the other TBL member is talked the most with. Monday night after picking and dropping them off I was super stoked to live the dream again the next day! My favorite moment pre-speech was Dave break dancing in the middle of the tables during our luncheon. He's super silly so I felt the most comfortable around him. We joked around a lot that morning, mostly about him getting old and his hair falling out, haha. There were a lot of pointless conversations between TBL and I but being a huge fan every convo we had was a dream come true! Haha, I'm so lame... I'm ok with it. Their speech was amazing. It was inspirational and funny. If you didn't love them before you did after. Following the speech was a meet and greet with students that lasted forever.

When it was all said and done I was so exhausted and still couldn't believe I spent so much time around them. I couldn't believe they actually came to UVU! Duncan got my friend Dani's # and later that night she called me and told me they invited us to go swimming at their hotel! So of course we went. We spend a couple of hours swimming with Dave and Duncan. It was so fun! The best part was Duncan asking tons of questions about Mormons and what they believe. It was so great!




This was an experience of a life time. And I will never forget it :)
