Being Old....

 I have never felt 'old' before, and believe me I know that 21 is a little early to start feeling this way.....

But today as I was stalking a band, I realized that I was older than all of the members! 

ALL OF THEM! 

After this epiphany, I, for the first time in my young life, felt 

OLD.

mere children

I thought that since this wasn't some Disney band that these kids would at least be 21+.

Nope.  

The oldest was born in December of 1991 (I'm a '91-babe just to clarify)
and the youngest is younger than my little brother!

What are these kids doing going on tour in foreign countries,
and being chased by preteens, teens and young adults everywhere?

Apparently I'm starting my quarter life crisis 4 years early (it's a real thing!)! Yeah for me! 

Luckily, the next generation is producing some great tunes to help old-timers like myself survive.

Here's the song I listened to on repeat for two hours this afternoon. Enjoy.

And a final good luck to my BYU friends with finals this coming week!!!

New Things!

Charming Text Messages:

Received at: 4:58 a.m.

"Do you and riker want to fight me and chase"

Sent at: 7:53 a.m.

"Good morning! This isn't who you think it is (I think you've got the wrong number) but i don't think you should fight anyone! :)"

Further texting throughout the day revealed that I was, in fact, not the person they were trying to reach, and that in the end they decided not to fight. Phew! A little more peace in the world!

New Games:

My sweet roommate Stacey has introduced me to the game called Nerts.  The only problem is that you need a deck of cards for everyone playing! So.. I bought my first deck of Rook cards recently! I feel like I've just become even more of a Lewis! Another right of passage out of the way! :)

Divine Comedy:

I went with a friend to Divine Comedy (comedy group of BYU) last night! My first time EVER going, and let me just say! Good times. I always wondered how I'd react at a live comedy thing, because I never find comedy laugh out loud funny.  However this stuff was actually funny.  The show I went to was their best of show, so I believe I saw the best of the best and greatly enjoyed it.  They did the clip below, but also did spoofs on other movies (Breaking Dawn, and Phantom of the Opera), events, and BYU culture. Good times! 

Easter Egg Hunts:

This morning I volunteered at the Provo Easter Egg hunt. My job was face painting! The children were all so sweet after I ruined their faces with my subpar skills. So that was good. It was crazy to see all the people that could turn out at events like these, but I believe the event was wildly successful! So it was a good way to spend my morning I'd say! 

Sweet Lessons at Conference!

This weekend was General Conference!

I feel bad because I don't feel like I super prepared for conference,

so many of my amazing insights will have to come from the Ensign!

However, I did catch a couple of sweet things that I thought I'd share:

Sweet President Eyring!

WITH HIS OWN CANDY DISH!

Although I couldn't tell for sure, I'm pretty sure every apostle's got their own dish!

I just had never noticed this before and I thought it was interesting.

I'm sure you've already seen this, but here's a pop star turned choir boy for your viewing pleasure
 -- some sweet eye candy for those of us without a personal candy dish!! :)

Just in case you missed it -- it's Elder Archuleta now! 

Those are some of my conference highlights! But on a more spiritual note -- 

anybody have suggestions on a favorite talk that I should read first?
