If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I’d find a match
Cuz I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am
If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching; I’ll make it better
Cuz I love the way you call me baby
And you take me the way I am
I’d buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair
Sew on patches to all you tear
Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am
You take me the way I am
You take me the way I am

Don’t you worry there my honey
We might not have any money
But we’ve got our love to pay the bills
Maybe I think you’re cute and funny
Maybe I wanna do what bunnies do with you if you know what I mean
Oh lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I
Well you might be a bit confused
And you might be a little bit bruised
But baby how we spoon like no one else
So I will help you read those books
If you will soothe my worried looks
And we will put the lonesome on the shelf

I don’t believe in anything but myself
I don’t believe in anything but myself
But then you opened up a door
You opened up a door
Now I start to believe in something else…

i have always associated music with moments in my life…
ingrid supplied me with memories,
with this song once:
far far away {click here} was the theme song for my trip here.
do you associate music with your life?

what’s the obsession with ingrid?
she’s one of my favorite female music artists,
and i had a girls night out to her concert last night…
good friends.
small club.
great seats.
swaying to some of my favorite tunes,
singing along in a room of ingrid fans.
winter style…
remember in this post, i said it always snows before halloween?
well, it happened – last night. october 24th.
we had a midnight dinner at eva’s. go. Go. GO! tonight, if you can. seriously.
brussel sprouts swimming in butter and apple vinegar. oh. died-and-gone-to-heaven!
eva’s pie {cheese pizza}, french fries covered in Parmesan, garlic, and rosemary.
eeeegads…it was delicious!!!
we had a stranger join in the picture…
interesting folks downtown slc around midnight.
{we stayed out till even the moon was tired!}
you know the best part?
i needed a girls night out.
i sat in the club,
in love with the live music,
thinking of my love at home.
dwelling on the fact,
that without him,
these songs would have no meaning.
my soul would know no true love.
i think it’s a pretty good sign.
to be surrounded by great women,
having a great time,
and to have one constant wish…
i wish husband would have been there.
we are approaching our fifteenth wedding anniversary in just over three months.
husband is about to have his fortieth birthday,
i am a couple months away from turning thirty-five…
so many milestones approaching us,
and we’re stronger than ever.
in love more than ever.
{everybody everybody just wants to be loved.}
…turn-up the ingrid michaelson {really loud},
shake your booty,
and have a lovely wednesday evening!
xo.
such a fun night! even if i had to wait outside in the freezing cold to go in. she was definitely worth the wait and one of my favorite concerts there.
what's next on our list???
Sounds like a fabulous GNO! We just went to Eva's for the first time last week – Oh my hannah! SO DELISH! Honestly, probably one of my top 5 restaurants in SLC! We will most definitely be going back! {I had the baked greek mac & cheese – it was HEAVENLY!}
that really was a great concert. it made up for all the waiting in the cold.
always so fun to get to see you!
let's do it again soon!
oh fun!! even if you had to wait outside in the FREEZING cold weather, sounds like a fab concert!
i love your energy in your post! Totally smiling…
congrats on your upcoming anniversary…you two are truly inspiring.
