If you've never been on a double date with your brother, and your friend, and his sister, I recommend it!
It's still so weird to me that my little brother who is now much bigger than me is old enough to be driving and dating. Gosh I really hope he comes to the BY with me.
On Friday my best friends walked into my room dressed all cutesy and pretty and shocked me... Hahahahahha ugh I wish my candid surprised face was a little more flattering.
and I quickly got dressed up and we went down to Southlake!
Seriously love these girls so much.
And once we were back at Hannah's they gave me these little giftys!
We've all changed this past year but as soon as we're back together things are always just the way they were last time we were together. Yay for modern day technology that enabled us to be able to keep in touch and talk literally every day! Truly grateful for the past 10+ years of friendship with these beautiful, kind, hysterical girls. xoxo
I feel like I have so so so much to blog about so I guess I'll just blog about last night and skip the last two weeks. Just kidding. But really. This post is just about last night.
Jen and I took the train into downtown to be fun and spontaneous but we were so clueless and all the regulars just thought we were total idiots but it was still fun.
We got downtown and went to dinner at Luna de Noche Tex Mex Grill which was so fabulous and tasty. I really will miss the dang good food down here in Texas. Also a 30 year old flirted with me which was cool/creepy but still totally bragging on the blog worthy.
Gosh so many good memories here at the American Airlines Center. Mavs games, HSM2 on Ice, etc.
We got these free bracelets that lit up as apart of the show. It was spectacular! Here is a video that really shows the way they worked. Plus this was one of my fave songs they did.
I already love love loved the two opening acts, Wolf Gang and Robyn before I came so it was very fun to watch them. Also I guess because I tweeted about them a few times during the show Wolf Gang followed me on twitter! Lol. I was a lil too excited. Robyn is seriously so weird. She's kind of Sweden's version of Lady Gaga but less mainstream. She was so adorable though. Also during "Dancing On My Own" I was literally the only one in my entire section dancing. What were they here for, Coldplay for something??? But I thought it was kind of poetic justice. Seriously though, even Jen wouldn't dance with me. Literally Dancing On My Own.
Also I woke up seriously sore from dancing for four hours. Worth it!!
The actual Coldplay part was phenomenal. They all had so much energy and truly all of their songs are so fantastic that they could be used as an encore song so the entire concert the whole stadium was jazzed up and having so much fun.

Why yes, I did cry the first three songs. It was just so beautiful. And I guess I'm emotional because I'm moving or whatever. But still. Such a wonderful night!
This website is hilarious to me. You can basically report your creepy crushes around campus. Here's the one for BYU, just change the location for your own school!
This Saturday I will have the pleasure of going to the Coldplay/Robyn/Wolfgang concert with my sister/best friend!! We have wanted to see Coldplay together for about eight years now. They were my first favorite band! Anyways I also love the two acts who are opening for them. If you don't know them, allow me to introduce you.
Wolfgang
Robyn
and of course COLDPLAY
Also last April I read on my friend Natalie's blog about her Coldplay concert experience and even when I read it just now I got chills haha wow I'm dramatic but I really did and anyways I highly suggest it to anyone heading to a Coldplay concert anytime soon!
Roasted Turkey Cobb from BJ's. I'm always down for some fresh avocado and crispy fries but this was so so so tasty and the perfect amount of food. Aaaand it was on a date so it cost me zero dollars which made it taste even better.
Music
"Warrior" by Mark Foster, A Trak & Kimbra.
Okay you know how sometimes you don't like a song and then you hear it again in the right circumstances? Story of this song in my life. It is a teensy annoying but the more and more I listen to it I like it. Picture lounging on a boat with all your besties riding around Lake Grapevine with this song blasting. See? Don't you like it now?
Activity
Wow. A private room for karaoke for a reasonable price of $20 an hour?? In Korea Town in Dallas? Ohhhh has all the elements for a fab night out. If it wasn't on Harry Hines and if any of the employees spoke English I'd totally go by myself and sing Independent Woman for hours and hours.
I had no idea I was so incredibly whiny when under stress! Hahah oh this video is so candid, so real though.
I was house sitting for a fam who shall remain anonymous to protect their identity but let me just say: it was not a walk in the park. One of the days I found a rat (or actually in retrospect it might have been a bunny rabbit) in the skimmer basket.
Ugh I severely loathe rats. I think part of that is rooted in the book 1984 when in the end (spoiler alert) he is tortured by rats.
Anyways. It was one of those times where I realized that if I didn't do it, no one else would. UGH I feel sick when I even think about it. Anyways I was literally praying to my Father above for strength. Legitimately on my list of top five hardest things I've ever done. Also on that list is when I accidentally left a bottle of chocolate milk in my fridge over Christmas break and I came back to see that it had exploded, and then molded ALL FREAKING OVER the entire inside of the fridge. Yes I did throw up but then I got over it and cleaned it and haven't had chocolate milk since. Yikes sorry friendly readers if that just grossed you out to the point where you're never coming back to this blog again.
But perhaps if you're that fickle/weak stomached I don't want you reading my blog anyways. Oh ho ho.
Nike Denim Tempos. First of all, you need to know that I am obsessed in love with Nike Tempos. They are the most perfect shorts in the world. I have seven different colors. The only thing that could make my collection better is if I had denim ones to wear when I wear real clothes. Denim athletic shorts, hot or not? I'm still kinda trying to decide. See for yourself.
Food
Flautita's with a side a guacamole from Mia's Tex Mex Restaurant in Dallas. I was full until I woke up the next day. I'm really going to miss Mexican food when I move to Seattle. The only bad Mexican food I've ever had here has been like Taco Bell and Taco Bueno. Vom.
Music
The new Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zero's album.
Also more thoughts about Seattle- I'm kind of totally really kind of ready to just move. I'm sick and tired of goodbyes and leaving the house with barely any warning for a showing all the waiting around. Also I want to hang out with my sister who I haven't lived at home with since she was in high school. Obviously I'll be so sad when we do the actual leaving but I've never been one to dwell on goodbyes and heartache. Let's get on with the hellos and new adventures and exploring!
