happy june everyone! this is the best month of the year but i might be a little biased 😉 after an unintentional blog hiatus, i’m finally back! being home has been so nice and such a change of pace from life in new zealand! honestly, i’ve been doing a whole lot of nothing: just relaxing, catching up on some of my favorite tv shows (revenge and modern family), reading some great books and unpacking and its been glorious… well besides the unpacking part. i feel like i’ve been home months instead of 2 weeks. goodness time flies. besides all the ‘nothingness’ i’ve been doing, i got to see one of my favorite bands, daughter, perform at the troubadour and it was such a wonderful performance, saw one of my besties graduate (congrats christina!), had some fun adventures in la, eaten a lot of fruit, drank a lot of green smoothies and taken lots of beautiful walks by the beach. so far, this summer has been so good. summer, i like you. stay a while
love these people
last night, i went to one of the best live performances i have ever seen (sorry railroad revival tour). i saw ben howard at the troubadour in los angeles with a few friends not expecting much but boy, was i blown away. seriously the only way i can describe it is magical. he has the most amazing sweet and simple style of singing. its so raw and real. and he just seems like a beautiful person. he’s too ridiculously talented and adorable for his own good! here are a few of my favorite songs of his plus a genius cover of Call Me Maybe:
i’m in the dominican republic right now spending my spring break on a mission trip with my church. these pictures are from the railroad revival concert i went to at the start of my spring break. its taken me forever to finally get the pictures sorted and edited because i took over 500! such a great show! possibly best i’ve seen! mumford and sons is one of the loves of my life but since i already saw them last year, i mainly went for edward sharpe and they did not disappoint! kayla and i scored spots in the front so it felt like we were part of the show with alex ebert jumping in the audience and dancing along with us and the incredible energy on stage. thanks edward sharpe, mumford and old crow medicine show for such an unforgettable night.
