SONGY SONG SONG

This song is quite a simple one, but it is definitely one of my favorites lately. And since I haven't shared music in a while I thought I would tell you guys about this one. Have a listen and have a happy Thursday!

RANDOM THOUGHTS AND STUFF

This is a little reservoir up American Fork Canyon in Utah. Although it is simple, it is magically beautiful. One of my dear friends Shannon and I went up there on a little adventure this past week on our way down to Provo. Can't have a mini road trip without a detour up the mountains is what I always say (actually I have never said that....but new rule). 

So lately I've been thinking a lot about so many things in my life. Everything has been going just fine. Nothing too horrible to speak of. But, at the same time, there is nothing too amazing happening either. I mean I have the BEST friends and we have been having positively lovely times together lately. It has been really great. But I just can't shake this feeling that there is something missing from my life...ya know? Have you ever felt that? 

I'm going to school, I'm working on a major in PR and Marketing which is a great fit for me. I'm doing an internship at an advertising agency and it's giving me great experience. And I do communications work for the University of Utah...so that's giving me super awesome experiences as well. On paper, I'm exactly on the right path. 

But....there's this strange little voice inside me that is telling me something is amiss. I'm on my way to figuring it out. I will keep you posted on that front (vague much?? lol sorry).

Someone posted this quote on Instagram and I just absolutely loved it. It doesn't really have much to do with what I just said but these words just came to me at such a perfect time and I just love them so much I just thought I would share.

"Sometimes in life, things get complicated. People over-think things, over-analyze, hurt those they love and assume before they find out the facts. It's human nature though. We aren't perfect and I'm learning this more and more each day as I ponder my own failings. Everybody is flawed and deserves a second chance. Sometimes we just weren't ready to make it right the first time. We're only human. So remember that." -Unknown

None of us are perfect. We are all just trying to figure out life and sometimes it can be hard and complicated and sometimes we can make mistakes. So let's all just be kind to each other and give people the benefit of the doubt. Let's give people second chances to make things right and to do things better. Who's with me??

The end. xoxo.

PRETTY PRETTY FRIENDS

These beautiful ladies are two of my very best friends, Eliza and Shannon. Eliza is a wonderful musician and needed some pictures for a music class assignment. Shannon is just gorgeous and needed some professional pictures for work. So, we went up into the mountains for a little adventure last week.

I love taking pictures of people. I have to say it's my favorite subject matter for photography. Humans are just so intriguing and lovely and I love being able to catch them in the right light at the right time.... So hey if anyone needs their picture taken, I would love to do it for you. Shoot me and email! 

LET'S TALK ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT

So guys, I love Taylor Swift. Shamelessly. She is wonderful and relatable and I want to be here best friend. Just ask anyone in my family and they will tell you how embarrassingly obsessed I am with her. I'm one short step away from having a creepy fan/stalker account and commenting heartfelt monologues on her Instagram pictures. But you know, I try to keep most of the obsessions in my life on a somewhat sane level. I feel it's only healthy.  

So her new album came out just over a week ago (really? I don't think anyone knew) and I was a bit skeptical if I was going to like it. I love love love Fearless and Speak Now but wasn't a HUGE fan of Red #sorrynotsorry. I know I'm in the small percentage that didn't love it, but anyways moving on.

I've gotta say, after listening to 1989.... I love it. I think it's brilliantly written and just as relatable as all of her other albums. Kudos Taylor. Her decision to switch over to pop I think is a success honestly. And I'm feelin' like everyone agrees (I died at this parody). I mean really, she's pretty much been pop for a while now, we were all just waiting for her to make it official.

Although this album is much different than her other stuff, you listen and can still tell it's Taylor which is exactly what makes it so great! And guys, "Wildest Dreams" is just spot on. Pretty sure I went all white girl and couldn't even after I listened to it. 

Well T.Swift, I gotta say, you've done it again. xoxo
