Sherwood Concert!

A few weeks ago, I was walking down main street with my awesome Canadian roommate Tayler, when I looked into a window and saw that one of my favorite bands called Sherwood was playing there! I was so excited and tickets were only $10. Tayler never heard of them but I convinced her to go with me anyway. Actually about 6 or 7 of us went together. We got there and 2 really amazing bands played (Barcelona and The Pink Spiders). I totally touched the lead singer of the Pink Spider's guitar. Yeah, we were that close! Then...out came Sherwood! Oh, it was so mind-blowing that they were right there! We had so much fun. We got to meet all the bands and Nate Henry (lead singer of Sherwood) signed the back of my cell phone! Eeee!

Oh! And after the concert we went to Tacobell (cause we were starving!) and we were blasting Sherwood music. We pulled up behind a car at the drive-thru and it was Sherwood! My friends got out and looked at the menu thing but really just stared at them. I got out too. They probably thought I was insane because I just stood there stunned with such a stupid expression on my face. But that was absolutely epic. Such an amazing night and I will never forget it!

I love to see the temple!



So my two of my roommates and I took a walk one sabbath day. It was quite a walk, considering we decided to walk all the way around campus instead of just cutting through. But it was still enjoyable. We also had to walk uphill for quite a while, but it was worth it as we came up... and there it was! The temples have yet to make me not catch my breath every time I see them. We were seriously there for about an hour, taking hundreds of pictures (me with my phone :( because i have no camera). we were also fortunate to watch the sunset in the background. The effect was, as you can imagine, breathtaking. We decided to (grudgingly) get back home before it got too dark and got honked at three (count 'em three) times by boys in hot cars. Overall, it was an great day.
