Friday Favorites

Oh how I love Fridays. I love being able to reflect on my week and think of all the things that made it so special. The favorites of each day. I am so grateful for this opportunity. So now for some favorites.

1. The Matt & Kim concert. I know I keep mentioning it, but I'm so glad I go to go. They are coming back in March with Passion Pit and I have a fever to go. I have very much grown accustom to their music. plus I have this mini crush on Matt and the fact that his voice sounds great on album, and ever better live.

2. Dollar movies with new found friends/brothers.

3. Pancake Parties in the morning. We make deeelicious pancakes at our house.

4. Leather sleeves and elbow patches. Thank you, stylish parents.



5.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY ROOMMATE MAKENNA. WHAT A DOLL!

6. Pizza, there is always time for pizza. Especially at midnight.

7. Texts from the Daddy-O.



8. Congratulations to El Presidente.
Let's move forward.

9. Praying out loud. Sometimes, I take the time to go into my own little private place and pray out loud to my Father in Heaven. I just sit there and talk. I talk, and I talk some more. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry. I just know that He is listening. I know that my voice is being heard, just as I know that he knows the inner most sanctums of my heart.

10. Talking to boys. Having deep conversations with them about life, love, and happiness.

11. Making decisions and the people that help you make them. Sometimes you know that you are taking the right path, but there are little doubts along the way. There are decisions that need to be made and you worry, but there are always wonderful people and moments that help you through.

12. Making it through week. Isn't it the best feeling?

What were your favorites of the week? Has it started snowing where you are? What are your plans for the weekend? Be safe. Be happy and stay golden.

His name is Matt. Her name is Kim.

Yesterday, Jarett picked me up and we went on a crazy concert adventure. We went to see Matt & Kim, the indie/alternative/electronic/pop group known for their crazy concerts and do-it-yourself music attitude. Here are some favorites from the set list. Be ready to dance a little and do a head bop or two. Did I mention this was my first concert? What a successful one it was. Enjoy!

1. Block After Block

They opened the show with this song. They speed up their music for concerts, so everyone is shouting at the top of their lungs, "Block after block, YEAH! Block after block!"  and dancing around like they are doing some rain dance. It's the greatest.

2. Good 'Ol Fashion Nightmare 

You know how some artists let their audience sing a lot of the song, and they point their microphone to the crowd, and everyone sings at the top of their lungs? Yeah that was with this song and it was really cool. 

3. Now

One word. Whiplash.
Okay maybe another word, bloody nose...but thank goodness it didn't happen to me, but I'm pretty sure a lot of people in the middle of the crowd did get one from all the moshing.

4. Yea Yeah

This is the first song I ever heard by Matt & Kim so it kinda has a little special place in my heart, even if it really isn't that sentimental. The lyrics aren't even that creative, but it's still great and I love it. Kinda nostalgic.

5. It's Alright

6. Let's Go

This music video is so cute. And funny. Sorry not sorry.

7. Silver Tiles

Dedicated to the first timers. I wanted to cry a little bit and I almost did. It was perfect. This is the first song they ever wrote by the way. 

8. Daylight

This was when I actually started to cry. For some reason this song always gets to me. Just listen. 

9. Good for Great

My favorite song was the encore. Night made.

Thank you Matt & Kim for a great night.
