My First Football Game

This is a look from Bobby of the people next to us were weird lol 

I went to my first ever BYU football game this weekend. I know, its pretty pathetic I havent been after being a BYU student for 4 years. And I know, it was the worst first game to go to. It would have been bearable had it not been raining but the rain was just miserable. But we got free legacy tickets from Bobbys work so it was worth it. We got a free pre game lunch and snacks at half time, so it was way cool.

Also! Selby moved in this weekend :) it has been a blast thus far even though homework is a downer.

2012

I got a scooter; we sold Bobby's car; we went to Moab, Durango twice, Montana, Denver, and California; we moved houses; I was put in yw's; I got a new job; I cut off 10" of hair; bobby was promoted at work; we both got raises; my family visited several times; we ate a lot of good food; I cooked and baked a lot; we got a new couch; we celebrated our first anniversary; Bobby got a motorcycle; we got a new kitty; I became English Society president; we went to four concerts in two weeks and met Slug; I went to UCTE conference and met Taylor Mali; I went to Yellowstone; I saw the Nutcracker; we saw several movies; I saw several plays; I finished two semesters of college; I read many books and wrote many papers; I went to the zoo twice; I finished many crafts; and I spent time with great people. Whew and that's not even a comprehensive list! To 2013! May it be even greater!

Concerts.

We went to four concerts
in three weeks.
I know. Holy cow.
Let me recap:


Atmosphere

Slug is the coolest guy.
Of course we arrived early
to wait in line and he came out
to just say hi and chill with his fans.

I was glad because they played a lot of old music
which is what I love most.
And Slug was such a funny guy.
Such a performer.

We were up front against the gate.
At one point of course the crowd is wild
and people are moshing
and getting pulled from the crowd
when Slug stops to ask "why are you guys beating each other up?"
It was great.



And then of course everyone is singing along
when he stops again
during Shoes you've got issues 
"you know, FIRST
its not cool that you're singing
my words
but then that you're yelling them at me too!"

and then he freestyle raps.
Holy. Amazing.
and says something
about the saints of Utah
and felt soo bad and low about it.
Even though he had been making
Mormon  pussy jokes all night.

It was great.
Great show.
Great humor.
The guy is hilarious and genius.

I love Atmosphere before
just on album

but now I have a whole
new appreciation and love
for the group

And Carnage the Executioner 
was so amazing.
He is so talented.

Brand New

I have to admit
 I haven't listened to
 a lot of brand new...
this concert was for Bobby

but still great
loved seeing the songs
I am familiar with and enjoy.

It was at the U
and huge crowd
at their annual red festival.

It was so amazing to see
all of these college students
who grew up listening to them
sing along and reminisce.

At several points
Jesse the lead singer
would just stop
 because the crowd was so over powering
and singing the song.

It was really cool to see.

Second thing.
At the end the band went off stage
and everyone thought was return for an encore
as is typical and expected

and then Jesse just came on stage
and was like well thanks for having us
we can't play anymore
we'll be back and then left.

Everyone was shocked
and like didn't know how to act
or what happened.

I guess they just went over scheduled time
but it was still the weirdest ending
ever.

Circa Survive



we all were really excited to see Circa Survive
well kinda
because they have a new CD out
that none of us have particularly listened
to the new cd
and I really like On Letting Go

its funny because the opening band
had this guy with really long hair
that reminded me of my long hair
and then i got all reminiscent
of when i had long hair and that
made me want to grow my hair out haha

Anthony Green was really funny
he kept telling everyone to just listen to the music
and then he did a stage jump into the crowd of fists
so of course he came out with a huge black eye
then a couple of days ago
poor guy had to cancel some shows cause he magically got cracked ribs

when we first got to the venue
there were these huge funnel things on
which i knew they had to be blowing confetti or something out of them
and sure enough!
they even threw out these huge balloons filled with confetti
it was great
even the back drop
was beautiful

Deftones

This was the third time
we have seen Deftones

Scars on Broadway opened
Holy. Cow.
the lead singer is the guitarist from System of a Down
It was all just really
politically charged
and crazy.
everyone was going crazy
the guy playing the piano was just
rocking out and whippin his hair back and forth
it was just interesting
and the drummer gave us his drum stick
complete with his hair stuck in the cracks

Deftones was great as always
Sergio is just such a cool guy
high fiving and rocking out

We were smashed against the gate
the entire time
I done know why the crowd was so crazy and wild
maybe it was the start with Scars on Broadway
but it was almost too back
because it almost made it un enjoyable

Chino oh Chino
he held my hand and sang to me
twice
he also stood in the crowd right by us
so i held his leg for support haha

they played a song to Chi like always
it is always so sad and so touching

but they were super funny too
people were throwing bras and panties on stage
and then Chino "traded" the bra for one of Sergio's basses to the drummer
and then he played a song with the bass on his back
the entire song

it was pretty good

and then Sergio gave us his pick.
second show where he gives it to me
awesome!

and then i scouered the floor
looking for a hard ticket
because ours were will call

ticket found! to add to our ticket wall!

and holy cow
i have never heard so much bad singing
people just screaming the lyrics
as loud as they could.

ahh good times.
i love live music
i wish concerts werent so expensive
and i wish we lived closer to slc

more life

well tomorrow i teach 

my first for real english lesson

i hope it will be good

i am more nervous for my lesson friday 

but i am sure itll all go over well

i am really so excited to have 

my own classroom

and be a teacher

it is just something i have a true passion about 

I think bobby and i have been 

watching too much Breaking Bad

the other night i had a dream 

that i worked for gus 

i dont remember if i was making meth

but i do know that he made me some offer

working nights for $65 an hour

and i turned it down so that 

i would have the energy

to do my mini student teaching 

that i am doing right now 

haha strange huh

on the zune topic from the other day 

i broke my screen on my zune

my zune i have had since my hs sophomore year

i am so sad

it is just falling apart 

and now i have no idea what i am going to do

because i will not conform to apple 

you can see bobby's impact on me haha

speaking of bobby

he is so sweet

he got me this ^ orchid one day

that i was feeling sad

and!

tonight he took me out for tacos 

and ice cream!

and he asked to buy me crackle nail polish

isnt he the best

work had been so crazy

monday was the add drop deadline

and now we can schedule for the rest of the semester

so i seriously have had no free time 

and yesterday i left with 

5 emails still in the inbox

but one of my biggest pet peeve

which i dont understand...

it will be really busy 

and we will all be on the phone

so obviously we cant answer

other incoming calls

but people will call our office

and get the voivemail

cal back 5 more times

then leave a voicemail

and then keep calling non stop until 

someone finally answers their call

like seriously?

i sometimes wonder if they dont realize

that i can see how many times they have called

its a little invention called

caller id.... connected to your inbox

and do they think i wont call them back?

and then if they end up talking 

to someone else in the office 

and i dont know 

so i will return their voicemail

they get all mad for bothering them

people. 

we are weird......

no wonder we are hated

18 for 6.

i was so worried it would be packed

 but it wasnt

and the owner was there greeting everyone 

with a free root beer shake

yep look at all those tacos

such a good deal!

this is his 'can i eat yet?' face

haha it was very delicious

and no we did not eat them all

at least not at once

we had tacos for lunch for the next two days

mmmm del taco

we are junkies. 

hate the game not the playa.

sweet home colorado.

our trip to colorado was well needed

it was way too short

mainly because there is so much to do

and so many people to see

some highlights:

i missed these weenies.

you cant talk to a dog on the phone 

so i end up missing them so much

one of the best thing about durango 

is the mexican food

it is actually spicy!

and authentic tamales :)

sooo good

i ate them all

2 every day for breakfast :]

another delicious food.

texas tacos. 

smoked pork and cheesy potatoes and jalapenos

and then you slather it in their bbq sauce

mmmmm

i am hungry just looking at that picture

i love that colorado actually had weather

it clouds up so nice every night

even if it doesnt rain

at least it cools off compared to utah

my mom has always had the coolest jobs

ie: she works at THE chocolate factory 

in the offices :)

and gets free chocolate 

yummy

for our wedding bobby and i got a gift certificate to ken and sues

aka classy restaurante. 

i had prime rib and bobby had some halibut 

these are his classy poses

dont you love the desert one

he was very excited for his apple tart

i had some yummy cheesecake 

and apple lover had the apple good ness

it was all so good

and we were so stuffed in the end 

yummy

gracias fuscoes. 

we were able to go tubing twice!

its so much fun

you just get a tube and float down the river

i do have to add that the animas has some world class rapids

all the more fun 

but my mom went with bobby and i the first time 

and my forever friend chelsea

she is the cutest thing ever

and we have been friends since we were 7

literally.

so it was good to see her and hang out

the second time we went with some friends from idaho

and my sister

and a friend from high school garrett

bobby got so sunburned

it was so sad

and he still is 

hes just a huge peely peel now

one thing we used to always do when we were kids

was go to the bar d chuckwagon

bobby wasnt very excited though

isnt colorado just so pretty

i was kinda disappointed in it all though

maybe things are just better when youre a kid

but the shops seemed to have nothing in them

and it just seemed lame

me and selby waiting for dinner

i think she actually likes me now

mom and rasp-barry being silly waiting

the food was delicious

and the show was fun

i wish they wouldve done more funny songs though 

there are no more old guys that do the show any more

the last old guy who owns it came out for one song

he played his toilet seat instrument haha 

so that was sad that everyone is too old

you see he loved it

but i though it was okay

i was glad we were able to go

but idk if i will want to go again

maybe i am just old and boring

we got to walk down town and hit all my favorite shops

silk sparrow, animas trading, the home store

and i got a new water bottle!

and mom is gonna make me a purse like this 

after she makes me the pillows we got stuff for 

and the purse we got fabric for too :)

we were also able to go see bobbys grandma

on the way by her we stopped at one of our favorite places in durango

bread. a yummy bakery

bobby likes the baguettes 

he is funny

i love the sew your oats cookies

its their everything cookie

but i didnt get to eat mine :(

and i forgot it at home

we finally had to head home

it was so sad

colorado is just so pretty compared to the desert 

this is sleeping ute mountain in cortez

just a fun landmark

and historical cultural too

i drew in the ute for those who lack imagination

but the utes believe he will wake up 

and help them

i was just reading about all the ute legends and they are pretty cool i must say

at one point there was this grasshopper that got stuck on the window

he just road there for a long time until we got going 50 mph

i guess grasshopper paws are only rated for that much wind

we had some car problems coming back too

it was so stressful because i have never had car problems

and my car is rather new too

it was just so hot or something that our car was vapor locking

but we finally made it home

this sight of gross smog greeted us

at least there was a pretty sunset

it was a good trip

but colorado is still better than uterrrr

sams dizzle

bobby is a pizza junkie

so of course he was down to go to sams club 

and get my mom stuff

he also found a new bed
he said it was better than the one we have 

no room for me though

and the dude at sams club wasnt very happy

pizza pizza pizza

so i promise i wasnt lazy again

okay maybe a little bit 

maybe a lot

but we really have deemed friday night pizza night

you see bobby would eat pizza for every meal 

so its easy and he loves it

we went to pizza pie cafe because they were having a facebook special

the place is a buffet of every kind of pizza, pasta and salad bar 

they have dessert pizza too

it really is sooo good

and the pizza isnt bad at all 

and the best thing was that we got the fb special and $4 coupon 

so it only cost us $7 instead of 14!

and it was delicious

and bobby was happy

win win

oh and i didnt have to cook ha

j dawgggsss

so i havent felt like cooking at all this week

thus we had pizza on friday

applebees saturday

del taco sunday

cooked monday but it sucked and bobby didnt like it

burger supreme last night

and so tonight i decided that j dawgs sounded much better than what i planned

conviently enough

j dawgs is right on the way home

nom nom nom

its so good

but only the real deal there 

knock off j dawgs isnt very good

neither is just the sauce with lame dawgs

and eating there makes my mom so jealous

i just watched a video about jdawgs 

it was pretty heart warming

so good new

bobby got a new job paying rather well

yayayayayay!!!

and its raining 

and thundering so loud outside

i think ive jumped from surprise 

like three time at least because the thunder is so loud

but yay for actual moisture in this desert

the last few times it has rained 

it only does for like a couple minutes

or itll rain really hard more north 

and by the time it gets to our house

it stops

gay

best news

we get to go home to colorado next week 

eeeee :D!

hokay

i am going to convince my bee to turn off the video game

cause cuddling and breaking bad is way betterz

crackle boom

so utah has this weird holiday that no one else in the united states really celebrates....
pioneer day
it is great that i dont have to work
but really everything is closed and thats kinda dumb
a friend of mine was speculating that someone just had a ton of left over fireworks
and decided it would be great to have another holiday that was exactly like the 4th
except celebrating pioneers of course ha
well me and bobby did our fire works
which i think is so much fun
except for the bugs
and they may just be little ones
not bit aerial ones but its still really fun

when we were picking out what to buy

i kept asking him what was best

he said he didnt know and he only knew about fire crackers haha

 they all kinda do the same thing

but i thought this was all really fun
maybe it is just because i grew up in colorado
where fireworks are strictly banned

and i did so good this time!
i didnt burn myself at all!

fun times
wish we could do more

using up the last of the wedding gifts

For our wedding, a good friend of mine/old young women's leader/ old babysitter gave me and bobby a spa finder coupon. 

so we decided we wanted to go get a couples massage

neither of us had ever had a massage before so we were both excited

i think we both enjoyed the experience until a while after wards.

i am so sore

it is ridiculous like every muscle in my body hurts so bad

my feet hurt non stop 

i guess that is their scheme to get you to come back

"she bruised me and i know she felt the huge knot in my leg and then pushed so hard on it"

poor bee

we had went to applebees last month and they have a promotion where if the manager doesnt come talk to you, you get a free $10

well we got lucky

so after our massage we went and used our certificate

and this is my brain child.

i love buffalo wings

so i asked them to 'buffalo-ify' my chicken strips

genius i must say

he got a salad which didnt have enough dressing on it
but still yum
and then we came home and made milk shakes
yum yum

love date nights with my bee
we just need to come up with more things to do in this city

its hard because in colorado we have all sorts of things to do
but we dont have a lot of ideas for here

oh well
give it time
or at least give it a couple months before we are back in school and too busy haha
