"I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires of you heart"
And satisfy they did!!!!
Oh my goodness. I don't think that I could ask for a more fun/spontaneous/heart pounding/stressful/terrifying/memorable night if i had tried.
serious.
so here is how the day went.
i woke up with husband early in the am and took him to his 7:30 class and then i came home and did productive things like make the bed and do some laundry. you know, the usual. then at 12:20 when he got out of class i drove back over to campus and picked him up and off we went. we drove out to sandy where we did, oh so exciting things, like get the safety inspection done on my car (it passed) and then we went over to my families house. we hung out, laughed, chatted and then we decided that we wanted to get some food and so at about 5 we left to go get food and bonnie was going to go pick up her friend and then we would head out. so we finish eating and bonnie has just gotten to where we were when i get a message from my dad asking me if the paper on the counter at home was our ticket cause it said "this is your ticket" on the top of the paper. ugh. so i tell him we are heading back to get it. he met us halfway and then we were off!!!
so we get to the 'e-center' and come to find out parking is 10 bucks!!! SERIOUS?! what a rip off. but at this point in the day it has decided that it is going to rain and there is construction everywhere so we finally pick a lot that is relatively close to the building, suck it up and pay the money to park. we ditch our jackets and hurry to the concert.
so we get into the building and get some pretty rockin wrist bands and decide it would be cool to take some pictures. so the back ground you see was what we walked into. after the first band finished playing and they started setting up for MUSE the dropped these harnesses down from the lighting way up there at the top. two guys hook up and then get hoisted up to the top and just seat themselves up there. its like 30 feet off the ground. can you imagine that planning meeting where everyone was assigned their tasks for the show? "paul, harry, you get to sit 30 feet above the concert hooked up to the lighting and control things from up there... don't fall out, we can't afford any more insurance after all the money we put into this set..." yeah, i'm sure it went exactly like that....
so the first group to play was silversun pickups which i like i think like 2 of their songs... so that was kind of a drag. but then... MUSE started. it was fantastic.
and of course, what show is complete if it doesn't involve moving pillars, laser lights, strobe lights, a rotating drummer stand and a grand piano? none. thats which one. it was fantastic. i tell you, i wasn't expecting a bad show in any way, shape or form but i kid you not, they sounded just as good live as they do on their albums. it was amazing. those pillars almost constantly had something on them from shots of the crowd to video images of the perfomers mixed into other shots... it was amazing. i'm not going to lie, i did have a minor panic attack when chad just happened to be standing next to two grown men who decided that it would be good to start a fight, but other than that things went great.
(by the way, if you see that paper up in the air? well that was our friend hailey who painted a picture of the singer and was determined that she would give it to him... she got real close...)
hers is on the left... pretty cool huh?
so after the concert we walked out to about 4 inches of snow on our car. great. but, like the responsible adults that we like to pretend we are, we knew that we both had work or school in the morning so we decided to brave the weather and head for logan. well, we drove about 30 miles an hour on the freeway and were almost to ogden when we spun out across all three lanes. i think a rotation and a half. luckily no cars were around us and we were going slowly enough that we weren't really at risk of hitting the cement barrier but after that we were trying to decide if we should just stop somewhere for the night and then we heard on the radio that sardine canyon was closed because of an accident. so we stopped in ogden for the night.
all in all it was a super fun day and an adventure that i don't think i will forget for quite sometime!!!

...or pee my pants. no seriously. i'm so so so excited.
there is this band that i really like. like really really really like. and adam went and saw them in concert once upon a time and i was supremely jealous. and they keep touring every where else in the world but they hadn't come to the u.s. for a while. well then they started touring in the u.s. but they weren't close to utah so i kept up this nonsensical idea that it would be fun to just, you know, drive to south carolina just to see them. yeah. husband didn't really think that idea was the best one that i could have come up with so we didn't. but then one day close to christmas i walked in from work and husband was on the computer looking at ticket master so i asked him what he was looking at and guess what?!?! they were coming to utah so for christmas we bought tickets. EEEEEEE i'm so excited. and the even better part is that they are playing TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!!! rain or snow we WILL be going to SLC for the concert. oh yeah and the band is MUSE!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE them. they are a rock band. but seriously. they are such amazing musicians. listen to this or this or this (like half way through... LOVE) and pretty much any other song that you see by them will be amazing. i'm so excited. i will have to let ya'll know how it goes. and hopefully i can locate my camera so i can document this event... otherwise i will be tremendously upset. my heart is actually hurting i'm so exciting... i think i need to calm down... and go to the bathroom...
dear weather:

nice to meet you...
so once upon a time i was single and going to school and in desperate need of making friends so as to fulfill my goals for my senior year of college. (see here) so there i was on a saturday afternoon driving back from the hot springs (a fun activity on a freezing cold day... try it) in january and i got a text from this guy named tyler. i had met him over christmas break and he was my buddy kyle's mission companion. anyway he asked me if i wanted to do anything that night. well...i did and he asked if he could bring with him one of his "guy buddies" which of course i didn't have a problem with. so they came over to my place and i met his guy buddy darrell. he seemed pretty cool, shy but funny and the three of us had a super great time. we went to village inn and we got cheese fries and pie. so yummy. we even had enough time to snap some pictures...
it was fun. then we went to my apartment and watch moving mccallister. it was a fun night. and actually what i didn't know was, that was the night that i met my future husband. no flashing lights, or life changing moment, but pretty much an instant friendship was formed that night. now i'm sure you are asking why i even posted this. well it was this saturday night last year that i met darrell for the first time and since then we have been together nearly every single day. give or take ten. i wouldn't trade any of it for anything. thanks for bringing along a guy buddy tyler :)
ps. those pictures only prove that we were already having fun after just meeting... not that we are all entirely un-photogenic.

baaaad idea...
so tonight husband came and picked me up from work.
super duper!
and he had this idea that we should go to mcdonalds for dinner and pick ourselves up some big macs since big mac monday is back!!!
so we did!
BAAAAD IDEA.
i slightly feel like i'm going to vomit.
which makes me sad because i think big macs are delicious.
i hope i stop hurting soon.
another bad idea.
being any kind of competitive and playing the wii.
my kind wonderful loving parents gave me and darrell one for christmas.
SCORE.
the problem now is that i tend to be rather competitive and i really really get frustrated when i don't understand something like wii tennis. it makes me angry and kind of want to scream.
so being frustrated and playing the wii is a baaaad idea for me.
anyway, i'm done venting now :)

july 4th 2009
This year for the 4th, my family, darrell and i went up to east canyon with our friends the Daniels. We had such a fun time. They rent a condo for the week and take up their four wheelers and boat and we spend time playing, swimming, eating, resting, laughing and enjoying life.
On Friday we hit the lake (some of us literally) and wake-boarded and tubed in the water.
Bonnie impressed all of us by getting up her very first try!!! I just don't know how she could do it! I can't ever get up!
We accidentally sent Lyndsey out with out a rope... whoops!!
The next day, Darrell and I headed back down the canyon to his house and we went with his family to the Stadium of Fire at BYU and watched... thats right... THE JONAS BROTHERS. Alright, so I don't really know any of their songs but it was still fun to go.
So excited for the show to start...
During the concert...
Fireworks at the end...
It was a really fun weekend all in all!!!
