Oh hey, Provo. How are you? The same? Figured.

Three day weekend, why not head to Provo? Well, Friday at about noon I got in my car and did just that. Breanna was also heading to Provo for the weekend, but went a little later with another friend. I was actually extremely excited about the four and a half hour drive by myself. I'm pretty sure blasting incredibly good music in the car by yourself for extended periods of time is the cure to anything. Basically, exactly what I needed.

After a stop at my mom's, and a visit to F.Y.E. (Yeah, so I fed my addiction, and got 5 CDs for $20. Rounding out my CD purchases for the week to 6. Radiohead, The Guess Who, Paul McCartney etc etc. I'm in music heaven.) I was in Provo at Janie and Quinston's place listening to and looking through Quinston's records. Then Janie and I headed off to Muse Music Cafe to hang out for a while. After a bit, in walks the one and only Chance!!! Love that kid. We chatted for a bit, catching up on life, school etc. His awesome band Chance Lewis is playing the Rexburg Sammy's on March 18th, by the way. I expect to see all my Rexburg friends there. The night was ended with a typical everyone meet at Denny's and hang out for hours laughing about ridiculous things.

Saturday I spent shopping and going to the gym with my Mom. She is rad. I love her. Then I of course had to do homework and take a test online before I headed up to Salt Lake to see OP. I wish we could see each other more often, I love her! We caught up on recent happenings in our lives, and chatted for a while. After a few hours, I got a call from an unknown number, and it turned out to be one of my favorite people, Joey! Professionally known as Anthon Jackson. He's probably the best photographer ever, check out his website immediately. Besides the time he randomly showed up at a pumpkin carving thing in Bellevue a few months ago and we got to chat for the whole of maybe 3 minutes, we hadn't seen each other for about a year and a half or so. Plus he is only in the states for another week or two, so I of course had to head over and see him. Carly and Kim, who he was in a band with a few years back, were putting on an acoustic set at some club. It was so awesome to see them perform some old A Film in the Ballroom stuff. So good. Always good to see Joey and discuss our shared love of music (we have basically the exact same taste), travels and other areas of life. We plan on running into each other again soon, hopefully in Italy. If I can get myself there, meaning if I can save enough money.

It's been so good visiting old friends and seeing my sister and mom!! I miss them, but not so much Utah. Tomorrow I will be heading back to good old Rexburg and diving back into endless homework. I can't wait.

  1. Hahaha, I love your titles for things, especially this one. I'm so glad I got to see you while you were down here!! And it's true, Denny's is a typical meeting place for ridiculous people and ridiculous things :) Also, I love that you put my website as one of the rad things people should do. That definitely makes my day.
