Photo shoots!

So due to this glorious weather, I've been able to go out and take some good pictures! I did a shoot with my roommate, Alex. It was pretty retro. I'm pretty stoked on it. And then shortly after, I did some engagement pictures for a friend from home, so that was pretty cool! Im pretty excited about all of it. And I'm hopefully going out with Marci and then Kali too for a shoot too. But for now I'll post some of the pictures I took at both shoots.
First I'll start with Alex's:



And then Gary and Laura's:

Hello, Blogger world.

So, this weekend I'm doing my first real photo shoot ever. And to be honest, I am soooo nervous! They're engagement pictures for my friend from high school. To get a little practice in, since Im a little out of shape, Im going out with Marci tomorrow and doing a shoot in the morning! And then tomorrow after work, Im doing my roommate, Alex. Sooo, hopefully they're good enough that I can post them! But yeaahhh, just a little head's up!

More Videos.

Rilo. Kiley.

So those of you who know me well, probably already know I tend to exaggerate a little bit too much sometimes. But I use absolutely no exaggeration when I say that April 23, 2008 was probably the best night of my entire life. If you know me well, you will also know that Jenny Lewis is probably my biggest obsession as well. She is my music icon, and seeing as music consumes my life, that is a pretty big deal.

Anyway, Jenny Lewis is the lead singer of Rilo Kiley. She also sang in The Postal Service, for those who don't know who Rilo Kiley is. Wednesday night, Jon (who is also in love with Jenny Lewis) and I had the amazing opportunity of seeing Rilo Kiley in a tiny venue. It was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We waited for two hours in line to get front row, center and it definitely worked. Jon and I were RIGHT in the front and center. We were practically sitting on the stage, that's how close we were.

Along with Rilo Kiley, Jenny Lewis' best friend, Morgan's band played first: Whispertown2000. Also an INCREDIBLE band. They had a drummer who not only played in every band that evening, but also played guitar AND drums at the SAME TIME. It was phenomenal! Previous to Whispertown, an artist named Michael Runion played first. He was amazing as well. And all of the bands were friends, so it was awesome to see the connection between them and how they acted together. It was amazing!!!

Then...Jenny Lewis came on stage. And I cannot tell you the overwhelming state of happiness I felt once she started performing. She is absolutely incredible lived. And they played an AMAZING set with all of my favorite songs. For which I was able to grab the set list at the end. w00t! I took a bunch of videos that turned out awesome. I'll try to post them on here too. At one point in the concert, Jenny came and sat on the amp RIGHT next to me. I think that I almost died. And she looked at me and I completely forgot the lyrics. Ugh. It was amazing. She then even sang to Jon and WINKED at him!!! Lucky.

All in all, it was the best night of my life. It was great. The one thing missing was our chance to meet Jenny Lewis, but oh well. I guess you can't win em all. We did, however, get to talk to Morgan and Michael Runion and their band members at the merch desk after the show, so that was pretty cool.

Anyway, I'll post some videos and pictures of the blessed night later. Thanks for reading! Here's a video I would like to dedicate to Marci for right now. Since it's her favorite song :)

So the latest:

I'm sorry that I haven't posted at all in the last month! But to be honest, there is just nothing new in my life. Other than the fact that I am looking for another job. I desperately desperately need one so if anyone knows of any good openings let me know. I'm just not getting enough hours at my new job and it's miserable! So puhhh-leeeease!

Anyway, other than that, there's really nothing new. Other than my latest obsession with Gossip Girl and my EXCITING chance of going to California and seeing Rilo Kiley and visiting my grandma. It should be fun. Anyway...yeahhh, nothing new other than that.

Oh, and I have been quite obsessed with some new bands as of late. Some more than others, but I'll post them from most obsessed to not so much.

The Hush Sound- Goodbye Blues & all other albums
Panic at the Disco- Pretty Odd
Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova- The Swell Season
MGMT-Oracular Spectacular

Horray!

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!!!
I don't know if I can express my excitement for spring time in Utah! It's probably my favorite time of the year. Maybe. I LOVE summer though. Gee, I just don't know.

Anyway, the sun has come and given me inspiration to write. And for some reason there is absolutely no possible reason for me to be sad during this joyous time of year. I cleaned my car to perfection and now I can finally feel that overwhelming sense of happiness while driving with the windows down blasting old school All-American Rejects, and the Weezer Green Album. My life is absolutely complete.

And for a little news update on, well, basically everything. My hair is still basically black. But now it's short. And cute. And well, I've really grown to love it. I'll probably post a picture. Hmmmyeah! And also, I decided to move to Alpine Village for the summer. It's a gorgeous brand new complex a couple blocks from Raintree. I'm super excited.

Also, I'm planning on doing hair. I'm not sure when, but I want to do an internship at a hair salon, and then take online classes too and eventually get my associates in photography.

Anyway, that's basically what's up. Any other updates, I'll be sure to let you know. And as for my dating life. Well, if you're really interested, you should probably just call me. It's pretty complicated. Haha. But overall, I hope you're all doing well. And I hope you all have a fantastic easter! I'm excited to see pictures of the kids! :)

Wow.

I really suck miserably at posting blogs. But so much has been going on in my life that I just never have time to post. Life is growing increasingly stressful by the day. And it's gotten to the point where my life is consumed by other people's problems. It's getting to an unhealthy point, so here I am. Back again. Getting involved in my own life again. Sooo, hello blogger world! I hope everyone is doing well! I'm getting my life back on track currently, so as of now I don't really have much to post about as of now. But hopefully over time my blogs become alot more purposeful.

Oh! Jon came to visit a couple weeks ago and that was a lot of fun. We hung out a lot at his friend, Alex's apartment. And slowly we all became really good friends. And seeing as Alex lives at the same complex as kali, we all hang out a lot.

So in the end, Alex and I ended up recording a cover of First Day Of My Life by Bright Eyes and it turned out sooo good! And now we want to record a bunch of covers together. It's awesome!

Anyway. That's all the news I have! I hope all is well with everyone!
