I'll Raise Your Death Cab for a Cutie

Image
By

I now have an awesome story for all you fine readers.  Once upon a time that was a girl named Jannifer (me) who was really bored and wasting time on Facebook.  I was scanning through my news feed (and FB stalking all you good people, come on you all know you do it too) when I came across a post from a local radio station.  It was a free giveaway for concert tickets to Death Cab for Cutie.  All you had to do was comment on their post.  What did I have to lose?  So I posted the following comment:

"Ooo, my husband and I were introduced to each other through friends at a Death Cab concert.  I love them for multiple reasons now!  Pick me. :)"

I kind of forgot about the contest.  However, almost a week later I received a Facebook message in my inbox from the radio station saying that I had won!  Hooray!  I think it was the smiley face in my message that got them.  It always pays to be nice.  I was so delighted, because I never win anything.  (My best bud Talena pointed out that everyone who wins something says that.  Now that I've actually won something, I'm not allowed to say that anymore.)  


On the day of the concert, Danny and I embarked on our (free) Death Cab for Cutie experience.  We had some weird moments during the evening (a woman with a Russian accent demanding we pay high amounts of money for parking, Danny coming down with the sniffles and so forth), but the actual concert was awesome.  Death Cab played a lot of songs that I love oh so very much, such as "I Will Follow You into the Dark", "Cath", "Titles and Registrations" and more.  Below is a sweet taste of the concert, enjoy Death Cab for Cutie performing "I Will Possess Your Heart".



The first time Danny and I saw Death Cab for Cutie we didn't say much to each other but simple hellos and polite get-to-know-you questions.  Oh how little did we know at the time what it would lead to.  We talked a lot more the second time around.

PS  Our seats were up in the balcony, which was pretty much empty.  But
I liked it that way, because I'm slightly anti-social (in the shy way, not in
the criminal mind way) and I preferred not being around the big crowd below.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue the circles to the foam tree in

2013 - The Year of Grace

By
I know we are well into 2014, but I'm still in the midst of recounting last year and making goals for this year. As I've looked back on and thought about 2013, I have to admit it has been a rocky year. However, during some of these hard times, I feel like Danny and I have drawn even closer in our marriage. I sure love that man of mine. I really think what makes a strong marriage is facing the tough stuff together. I have also grown closer to my Savior, though at times it didn't always feel like it, which I will discuss more below. I can honestly say, this year has whittled me down to a rather more fragile version of myself.  I think that is what being humbled is.  I have been humbled.  I’m still working on being humble. I think with this past year, I’m understanding more what grace is.  I think you have to experience a lowly place to even feel the need for grace.  I agree with the common phrase: “Do your best.” However, I don’t think we always understand what ou

This Weekend

By
This weekend was a whirlwind experience.  I realize I could split this up into like 4 or 5 different posts, but I'm just going to do one big, long post.  So get a snack, get comfortable and prepare yourselves. Friday Night:  Danny's Concert with his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips Danny performed up at the Layton amphitheater and rocked the house!  I really mean that, he did such  a fantastic job.  He opened for his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips, who also put on an awesome show. I had great fun clapping along to the music with my nephews who came and being a bit of a proud wife in the audience.  We all went out for a late night dinner at Iggy's afterwards, which showed me that I'm not in college anymore, because I got heartburn afterwards.   (Growing old, sigh.) Members of the family that came to support! Me and my nephew Dr. C before the concert. The boys clapping along. He can play with his eyes closed, he's that good. Danny the guitar man
