The LetDowns





In my ward, there is a couple of guys who made up a band called the LetDowns. They both play guitar and make up their own song lyrics that are really funny. I have heard a few of their songs when I've hung out with some guys in my FHE group. They have one talking about Taylor Swift, and a really funny break up song called Earthquake.

On Friday I went to Guitars unplugged where a bunch of bands played and everyone voted for their top three. The LetDowns were one of the groups, and they played a funny song called A Hero Stands Before Us that makes fun of Chuck Norris.

There were other bands that sounded good. I wish some of these bands had a cd. One person had sung his own acoustic version of Beauty and the Beast, another band sung a song that made fun of pick up lines. I thought the group that sounded the best sung a song called Falling slowly. I have never heard this song before, but it was a good performance.

I had a lot of fun watching the bands play. They did a great job.

There's no such things as Fall in Idaho

I'm sorry to those of you who have tried to read my blog, and waited for me to actually write something. I have been busy trying to adjust to college, and sometimes I couldn't think of anything to write. I also noticed that since I did not write on my blog, my typepad account disappeared, so now I have one on blogger. But, now I have finally started.

So when I first arrived to Idaho it was very nice outside. In September the temperature was nice and warm and it still felt like summer. But, as soon as conference was over it was suddenly cold. It actually snowed a little bit today. Back home it wouldn't usually start snowing until January. Summer just skipped over fall and turned into winter. Everyone I know here keeps asking "Why did I come here?" or "What was I thinking?"

Even though it's really cold, I am excited for snow. Someone told me it's supposed to snow five inches on Saturday. That's crazy!
