I turned right, saw this and I knew that God is good

1. this is gorgeous. 

2. i'm in a band.

p.s. I usually don't write much or get very sentimental here on the good ol' blog but throughout November, each night I have been writing down something I am thankful for. By  doing this, I have realized just how immensely blessed I am. I take so much for granted and I am so thankful for everything I have been blessed with...especially my family, having the best of friends and for having the gospel in my life.

i love my homework.

i apologize for the trendy, iphone pictures lately but i've lost my camera charger.

1. a new blog is on its way. get excited!
a little bit the same,
a little bit different.

2. my homework is designing a brochure/pamphlet 
my pamphlet is on mustaches
and it is awesome.

the above happened while the below was happening//

provo sucks//  

also i am loving these lyrics//this song in general. i've been trying to post just one sentence or just one part but i can't narrow it down. 

{although the bolded part is my favorite}

 i would marry this song if i could, i love it that much//

"your ex-lover is dead"- stars

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love...

Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

I'm not sorry there's nothing to save...

when in doubt, order everything you are craving
