Lots of Thoughts

School always makes me look at things in a whole new way.
I guess I think about different things more philosophically perhaps.

Right now it feels like I have a lot thrown at me.
I want to be an adult. But at the same time, I wish being a little kid and being carefree.
Planning for the wedding has not been as tedious as it was earlier on while choosing date and location and whatnot.
Last night Trevor and I were grabbing sodas from the vending machine. He mentioned how the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra was starting their new set of symphonies they would be playing. He said that he would love to again. The Ordway is a beautiful place to listen to amazing, high class music. I said I would like that as well. Being at the Ordway and listening to such fine classical music really makes you feel like an adult. Not old, but sophisticated and like you have your lives together.
With everything Trevor and I are handling right now, I certainly do not feel like we have our lives together or figured out at all.
We don't have an apartment figured out for next year. We have no clue where we will live at all.
We have basically no furniture for next year. I am not staying with a twin bed for two people!
We are both still in school and neither of us have schedules figured out.
I will have the option to student teach wherever I will like, so potentially out of state if Trevor and I would like to move from Saint Paul earlier than me graduating. That is something that will need to get decided on sooner rather than later for budget reasons.
We both are unsure of what our job situations will be like next semester. We only have one car so we will need to get new jobs closer to our nonexistent apartment.

It just feels like everything is compounding quickly.

Don't get me wrong, I am beyond excited to get married to Trevor.
I do not want to push off the wedding or move in together before marriage or anything that may be suggested.
I am content with our decisions because I do feel they will be the best for us.

Now to stop stressing and get some homework done!

The 1975

If you're snapchat friends with me, I apologize for the tremendously long my story from last night.
I just couldn't help it! I got to see The 1975 at the Myth in Maplewood!

Easily the best concert I have been to ever--no doubt.
Granted, I was sweaty, getting smushed, and hot the entire time, it was a blast.

If you ever get the chance to see them live-do it!
You won't be disappointed.
Their lights were spot on.
Their music, was even better live.

Matty is amazing. Drinking wine on stage. Looking fine as can be. Mmm.
He's a class act.

I am so glad they played 'Robbers'. It's my favorite of their songs! If you haven't heard it, go take a listen.
Also, highlights from the night:
-The encore chant of choice from the crowd, "WE WANT SEX!"
-Bitchy, hat girl as we called her.
-Not being able to understand anything Matty said due to a combination of his British accent and slurred speech (he was wasted).

Me with my handsome man.
Thanks for keeping me safe from all the freaks at the show!

Joel, Christian, Trevor, and me in line before going in!

4th of July

This was the first 4th of July that Trevor and I spent together!
We spent a lot of time together before going downtown. We ended up ordering Pizza Ranch and picking up our delicious combo (half Chicken Bacon Ranch [extra chicken/extra ranch]+ pepperoni and half Pepperoni and Green Olives along with an order of mashed potatoes and gravy and a 2-liter bottle of Barq's root beer!)
It was a terrific lunch, of course!
We then headed down to the City Deck to look at a few of the local bands that were playing. Trevor knew a lot of the guys in the bands so we shot a lot of pictures of many of the bands. While it was quite fun, my knee disagreed due to the large amount of walking we did over the course of the evening.

Those are the shots I got of the bands. I think they turned out pretty well considering it was my first time shooting bands. You can see them on my Flickr page too: Elisebeth's Flickr!

Also, I love this picture of me and Trevor I took downtown on Snapchat. :)

Our first 4th of July <3

Summerfest

Early last week a friend from Pizza Ranch posted on Facebook about having two tickets for Bruno Mars at Summerfest for $80. The tickets were originally priced at about $81 a piece, we got both for $80!
This was my first time at Summerfest, but luckily, Trevor knew his way around since he played there a few years ago with Tomorrow's Yesterday.
I left nannying around 1 and we finally got on the road at about 2. By the time we got parked and got through the gates it was about 4:30, not too bad for time.
We walked around and enjoyed the cold and brisk day together.
Around 7:15 we headed to the amphitheater and began making our way to our bleacher seats.
Aloe Blacc(known for The Man and vocals on Avicii's Don't Wake Me Up) opened for Bruno Mars.

As you can see we were pretty far back from the show. Sadly, for Aloe Blacc they didn't use cameras so we couldn't really see anything he was doing. 

Bruno Mars was beyond amazing. He has such an awesome band that does some rockin' choreography.
I was so lucky to be able to go see this concert with my honey.

We even both rocked our Converse, without any planning!
