this happened

Sometimes things happen that you never even imagined would happen in your wildest dreams. 

It's kind of like... Someone giving you a whole pie just because. But better. Because the most recent one of these for me was my LOVELY friends Minden and James (who are also the cutest engaged couple of ever, and will someday soon be the cutest married couple of ever) having an extra ticket to the Mumford and Sons concert at the Saltair two weeks ago. It was kind of pretty much so incredibly magic.

Picture vomit time. Excuse the sad, blurry point-and-shoot pictures.

 

Slow Club and Nathaniel Rateliff, the two opening acts. They were amazing!

The cutest engaged couple of ever (you might recognize Minden from this)

Maggi (Minden's cousin) and I. These were our "We don't have dates" faces. That was before we decided to be each others' dates. It shall go down in history as one of the most successful blind dates in history, because this girl is slowly becoming friend of the best variety.

The venue exceeding perfection. It was gorgeous. 

And finally Mumford!

They did not disappoint. The entire concert was phenomenal. Seriously, if you ever have a chance to see Mumford live? Don't even think twice. I almost didn't go, and I am fairly sure my life would be about 20% less cool had I not. 

Also, bucket list item crossed off. Yessss.

Now listen to this song.

Now go do yourself a favor and pre-order their new CD. kthxbye

mree speaks my mind (again)

Remember when I discovered Mree?

And how she's like the best ever?

All I'm going to say is that this song is perfect.

Against the Current

So they say

There are other fishes in the sea

But the only one that’s missing

is the one that swims for me.

And so you say,

“Oh dear just wait patiently,

Love will come along, eventually.”

So I tried to swim against the current

To live my life and let me be

So don’t cast me a line 

‘cause I’ve run out of time

To live a lie

I can’t deny

You’ve hooked me so deep again

With your smart and witty lines

You have soiled my disguise 

and then the waves

oh the waves they come crashing down

when I see the look in your eyes

when you’re watching her walk by

“If you’re looking to fit in then join the rest

‘Cause you know you’ll only end up second best”

They said,

If you want to swim along the current,

then act and speak the way we do

You may be untrue 

but if you’d rather be us

Then why be you?

What a beautiful lie to live.

So I’ve learned to swim against the current

To live my life and now I’m free

Because honestly,

there’s no one else I’d rather be.

So watch me leave.
