CHOLO: A Mexican Gangster.

Owl City Concert = A Crowd Full of 12-17 yr Olds and Their Parentals....

Last night I went to the "Owl City" concert at Saltair. It was way fun, but only because I went with Travis and we made it fun. After running through the rain and wind and then waiting in line at will-call, we finally made it into the concert. As we looked around we noticed a sea of braces, acne, and hyper children. But don't worry because we also saw bored, wrinkled, bugged parentals. Perfect conditions, right?! So we get in the crowd and finally settle into a spot when I looked over and saw the most glorious sight of all....an Asian teenage boy. He was so happy to be there. He had glasses and in true Asian-fashion, a camera to record every song!! When he started singing the words to all the songs, I knew I was in love.
If you're starting to feel bad for Travis because I found my soul-mate, don't. He had two "hip" mothers drooling over him!! Yep, they followed us around THE WHOLE CONCERT!! They were so excited to see the band and be in the teenage scene. It was really hard to navigate through this concert because everyone just stood there and didn't move....at all. Me and Travis (and the moms) were the only ones dancing. We taught "the moms" how to mosh- talk about funny! Then we were joking about having them crowd-surf to the front and they got even more excited. Wow.
All I can say is that I don't think I will be forgetting that experience any time soon!!

The Highway: The New Way to Meet Fellas?

For spring break about a month ago me and my friend Aimee decided to go to Vegas and St. George. As we were driving between Cedar City and St. George, I got bored and started taking random pictures......While taking these, a car of 3 boys drove by.....For some strange reason they like what they saw and started playing "tag" with us by slowing down and speeding up. It was hilarious. I turned to Aimee and jokingly said "Hey, we should write our numbers on a piece of paper and put it in the window!!" Welp, the next thing we know, the boy in the backseat of the other car rolled down his window and stuck out a piece of paper with a number on it! Bahahahahahaha, I just about died! Of course I got my phone out and we started texting them!! So great and so random!! It turns out these guys are mission buddies and were going to Vegas to chill and ride roller-coasters. We even met up with them that night at the NY,NY roller-coaster and hung out with them afterward! They were way fun....and I may or may not be kinda dating one of them now....;)

Happy Easters!!

Wake-UP Call

This morning I was very "out-of-it." I kept hitting the snooze button because I just couldn't motivate myself to get out of bed. Well, my alarm went off, for the 4th time, and I went to shut it off but.....I didn't realize I had turned over, so when I leaned over I smacked my head against the wall....nose first!! I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!! It actually turned out to be just what I needed to wake me up ;) Really.

FuNnY Papa Large!!

So, my dad is HILARIOUS!! He makes "dad jokes" and cracks himself up, his clothing choices are sometimes unimaginable (does he look in the mirror?), and some conversations with him are like being lost in a maze....you don't know what direction he is going or when he'll come to a dead-end. But I still love him. All Six feet, four inches and 275? pounds of him ;)

Last week I got a text message from my mother, it read: "Dad bought himself overalls today."
I almost peed my pants....those who have seen and met my dad, just imagine him in overalls and a smile will immediately come to your face. When I went home this last weekend I asked him about his overalls. "Well, I thought they would be cool. I mean who doesn't have a pair of bib-overalls?" Um....most people over the age of 4 don't have them, Papa Large!! HAHAHAHA "But I took them back. They were too short." All I can say is bless the heavens he took them back!! He did take one outing in them though, he walked the dog. Poor Ange had to be seen with my dad in bib-overalls. My mom said that the pup didn't get any sleep that night because she kept having nightmares about the overalls!! Hahahahaha, Mumsy is funny too!!

Yesterday I went to church with the parentals and during fast and testimony meeting I think my Papa's goal was to make me wet myself. One guy got up and took FOREVER to spit out a sentence....so my dad leaned over and whispered "He's such a good public speaker." BAHAHAHAHA And then a woman got up and was talking about a friend who was so giving, she gave and gave and gave! So my dad whispered "I wonder if this woman was a generous or giving person?" BAHAHAHAHAHA

Here are a few of his popular "one liners" some of which he uses all the time!!
1. If someone farts...."Your voice has changed, but your breath smells the same."
2. If he's holding a baby who is farting....."Well hey there thunder britches!"
3. Kissing on tv...."Ew, he's kissing her where she spits!"
4. Too much information....he learned how to shorten it to "TMI" he thinks he's cool by using it.
5. When describing an unfortunate looking woman..."She would make a train take a dirt track!"
6. After I threw a sock at him....."Ah, you socked me!" Then he laughed for 20 minutes.

I will add more as I remember them....My dad is the best! Not only is he funny, but he's smart, Honest, dependable, a hard worker, talented and a great provider. I'm lucky to have this man as my father, no, I'm honored to call him my father. He's taught me so much and I could never thank him enough. But I'd have to say, the best decision he ever made was marrying my Mumsy. You put these two together....and it feels like a comedy festival...and they don't even know/try!!
