Falling Slowly

Guys... I think I'm falling in love with where I live...

I love that life moves at a slow pace and that everyone knows everyone.

I love that I can stand on a corner in town and take a picture of the entire place.

I love that dogs in stores are a common occurence.


I love that there are little towns all over the place that look like this.


I love that there is a river in my backyard.

I love that I live in the land of Ben and Jerry's (Vermont's finest.)

I love that I live in the land of maple syrup.

I love that I live like five minutes away from the place where the prophet Joseph Smith was born.


I love that I can drive twenty minutes and be in a different state.

I love that the movie theatre I went to on Friday to watch "The Time Traveler's Wife" (amazing by the way, I may have to blog about it) was nonprofit.

I love that when I was driving back from Concord today I saw hints and traces of fall. Bits of gold, traces of red.... it was so exciting.

I love that Trent's law school has a fake liberty bell.



I've been longing for my Walden Pond and I've found it.

I don't love that I still don't have a kitchen.




Law School is time consuming and tiring, but I love it.


I am in love. I am never stressed, not like I used to be. Everything is beautiful. I do miss wide open spaces, big blue skies, warm sun, the smell of citrus trees, and wide roads where I can see what is coming... but I get to go home for three weeks at Christmas. 


Life is good.

My city has a fake liberty bell, not my law school.

I'm so glad to hear you're doing so well! You're tempting to come visit this fall... do you think Brian would notice if I was gone for a couple of days?

Wow! A non-profit movie theater. That has to be a first. Do tell me about the movie! I love the photos!

Green is the Color that Everyone Sees all Around Me

Today I had a meeting with the Professor over the Public Health Internship department at BYU. The following is a conversation that actually happened on my way there. Strange Creepy Guy on Bicycle: Hey how are you doing? Lil Renny: Fine. SCGoB : What is your name? LR : ... Lindsey SCGoB : Oh, well I just wanted to tell you you are a beautiful girl.

Together We're Invincible

If you can't handle the atmosphere of concerts don't go. That is all I have to say. I wish I had said it to the girl standing in front of me at the Muse concert last night. Instead I began plotting her downfall, but since I don't know her name or where she lives, I suppose she has escaped her terrible fate... for now. Aside from her constant rants and shoving backwards, causing me to fall into the people behind me, who then shoved me back into her to illicite her annoyingly dirty looks, the Muse concert was... amazing. This was definitely a very high budget concert. There was a sweet light show, explosions after certain songs, and his guitar was glittery and lit up. Like, an actual light in his guitar. Underneath the spectacular "special effects," you could tell that Matthew Bellamy is a guy who just wants to get out there and rock. So rock he did. On the guitar and the piano. Butterflies and Hurricanes was amazing. I would post a video of it... but it all sounds...

A Tragicomedy of Poetic Verse

If you could please all forgive me, I am taking the time to wax philosophical within this post. So Friday night I went and saw the movie "Stranger than Fiction." This was a highly good film and I would recommend that everyone go see it. Take home made cookies with you too, because you'll want to eat them. The premise of this film, for those of you that don't know, is that the main character, Harold Crick, begins hearing a voice in his head, narrating his life in third person omniscient. The voice is right about a lot of things, and is mainly very annoying until Harold hears the voice say that he is going to die. So, I began thinking about life and death. After all, thats the point of art, to make you think about life and death. So I did. We are all, for the most part going to taste of death at some point on this journey. Death in some form will come to all of us, through the loss of a loved one, or through our own. It will happen, we cannot stop it. So why did it be...
