Janglin Soul

My week was sugary sweet. I have been in the best of moods lately and I'm all about it. As a result life has been throwing me splendid days. Especially the day I ate at park cafe, rode bicycles around SL,UT, napped at a park, scarfed a rolo mcflurry, went to a genius library and saw Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. Mads explains some of the perks very well here. The concert was thee best. Alex Ebert has so much soul pumping through his veins. Any guy that leads hundreds of people in lean on me and flings himself into the crowd multiple times deserves a hats off. Not to mention everything he played and said was delicious. Seriously get a load of this guy! Excuse the movement, the atmosphere of the concert was a bit intense.

You're Hot Mess

I should be fired. I have been horrible at updating my blog and even more terrible at documenting my summer. Few pictures have been taken, which is a complete shame. I have established a new goal to be a picture taking fool in the upcoming month. The last few weeks have been eventful, here are a couple of things that I have done.
I went up north where I job hunted/interviewed like a mad man. I felt so old.

I have gone on numerous beautiful hikes with beautiful people.
I legitimately started working. It is a love/hate relationship but as of right now the Adobe and I are on good terms. This is us at work, feeling bad for ourselves and our matching zits.
I went to Pine Valley a couple of times with some of my friends, which makes me chipper because I love that place with every fiber of my being.
I received some unexpected flowers and although I am not much of a gift adoring girl, it was one of the greatest things and I was extremely flattered.

My sentimental radar has rocketed off the charts. I didn't think it was possible for me to become more emotional then I already was but boy was I wrong. I blame it on the changes coming soon, nothing but change.

I have developed a strange shopping addiction and a once hated activity has now become ever so appealing. Thank goodness I still can't spend more then ten bucks on something without feeling buyers remorse and am satisfied with the D.I. Here are the treasures of my last successful trip. The long awaited and last Harry Potter came out and I found myself in the theater on opening night at the midnight movie. IT WAS GENIUS. I loved it a whole lot and am not quite sure what to do with myself now that it's "over, over". HP super fan for life.

I turned eighteen. It's a lot of things but it's mostly like whatever. My actual day of birth was one of the best I have ever had. I spent the day with my favorite people, eating ALL of my favorite foods [I do not say that lightly] and participating in my favorite activities. I was spoiled by many and received several acts of kindness, free meals and cash. Yesterday was the day of all days, spent with Mr. Anderson. We started out the day by indulging in breakfast at Kneaders [which I was overjoyed about because I had been counting the days until that marvelous place opened] We then spent a couple of hours shopping for ukes. Later we drove to Vegas where we ate at The Cheesecake Factory. I'll tell you one thing raspberry lemonade, chicken alfredo and 30th anniversary cheesecake sure does make for a happy Alexa. The Avett Brothers concert was attended shortly after. It was amazing and made for an even happier Alexa. Seriously, I thought I was going to loose my mind when they played Kick Drum Heart and January Wedding. Depressingly enough my camera wasn't working and I didn't get any pictures OR video, but I will promise you one thing, it was one for the history books.

Moral of the story is my life has been good and continues to move along smoothly. I am a blessed girl and can only hope that things continue to go north!

It Happens To The Best Of Us

You know you're emotional when you receive an email from your father with this video and the words "this is how I feel" and you get choked up.
