Moab, and Arches National Park

I got a call from my brother Brian, the first thing he said was, "I have a crazy idea". Well that crazy idea was for us to drive down to moab and hike all day then drive back home before dinner. Moab is about a three hour drive. Of course I was down, I am always ready to go on a crazy adventure, and who can say say no to the red rocks of Moab. All night I could not sleep so when my alarm went off at 5:00am I was awake and ready to go. Brian and I met up at the K-mart in Spanish Fork, we said we would meet at 6:00am, we were both so excited to go we were both there before 5:45am. So we hit the road and headed down Hwy 6 to south east Utah. Right when we turned off the freeway and on the a hwy a cop pulled us over for speeding, the crappy thing was that day we saw these two cops pull over 5 cars, on one stretch of road. When we got to Arches at 8:00am the weather was perfect, cloudy with some sprinkles of rain coming down. We started with Delicate Arch hike, then we hit every hike but one in the park. We ended up hiking around 9 miles. Just as we planned we made it back home for dinner, even though I was home alone and Jennifer was out with her friends, it was still part of the plan.

Best Day of My Life

Some people will say that their wedding day, having a child, or graduating from college, would be the best day of their life. But since I have not experienced any of those days in my life, I am going to go ahead a declare that July 14 ,2011 was the best day of my life. There were two great events that made it the best day. First best friends were reunited, second I was able to witness in person the singer song writer Ben Folds, many minor events also took place, to make this day magical. You may remember my best friend Mark, he has been featured several times in earlier post. Two years ago he went to the land Brazil, to be one of those weird guys that walk around in a white shirt and tie, and talk about Jesus. After two rambling years he returned home. I went with his family to the air port to pick him up. We all had matching shirts that had a picture of Mark's face on the front. Like I had hope he is still good old Mark, even though he dose not any older. Just for this special event I shaved my beard into a handle bar mustache, yes I did have a great desire of become a trucker, not sure why. When we got back to Payson it was time for me to start my journey with my friend Caitlin. We left Payson and headed to the The Great Saltair, to see Ben Folds, we were a little thirsty so we got off the freeway to stop at Mac Donald's to get some drinks. We stopped, when the turn signal to turn left was red, there was a thump and a bump on our back end. Yes we had been hit! I looked out my window(I was the passenger) and there was a guy on a motorcycle laying down on the road next to our car. I got out of the car to see if he was okay. He was so we pulled off the road, Caitlin said maybe he will just give me $100. He had scraped the bumper of Caitlin's car(which she got for a $1000). The man asked what she wanted to do, and if she would just take some money. He gave a check for $50, and we all went on our happy way. Since her car is kinda crappy anyways (no offence) she just made $50. We finally got to The Great Saltair, and the concert was the best, I have seen Ben several times and this was by far the best concert.
He played my favorite Kesha song sleazy, I hope it becomes your too. When the concert was over went to Mark's house and kidnap him. By the time we got back to Payson it was 1:00 am so everyone in his house was asleep. We had to be super sneaky and do a B and E, then we were not sure where he was asleep so we went around his house in the dark looking we found him. We found him in his old room, ya we should have looked there first. Unlike what most people think offering the kidnapped candy and hamburgers did not work, but finally we got him to come with us. We went up old Payson canyon and we just talked, and Mark got is first huge from a girl.
We took him back and that was the end of the best day of my life.

Fouth of July with the sis

The Fourth of July is always a great time in America, and this year was no exception. I talked my sister Heather into leaving the land of spuds (Boise) and joining me in Zion (Utah) for the weekend. We started our adventurers with a trip down to zoobie land, (Provo) just like the Declaration of Independence some things never change, and Provo and all of the fashion fopas is one of those. Socks and sandals, tucked in t-shirts, girls with knee lanth shorts, and breaded belts. We stopped at what we think is the best Americanised Mexican food in all or Utah county, you know it Los Hermanos, like always it fantastic.
Then comes the real reason we went to the land of zoobies, Stadium of Fire, which I feel is only out done by Beijing Chine's New Year. We will give that to them because they did invent the firework. The fire works were awsome, and just sitting there on the grass enjoying the cool summer air was great too. Sunday we went up to the old family cabin up Weber canyon, I saw some family that I had not seen since the before the mission. Heather and I went a sweet three Wheeler ride.
On our way back to Payson, we stooped in Heber at granny's for some shakes. Our plan was to go to the band concert at the Payson park. As we did a drive by we decided that the crowd was not big enough, and we would be easily spotted by those that we have not cared to see since high school. Monday is when the really fun begins we hit up the old daily freeze, for good old times. Headed up to Payson Lakes, also pick up my friend Chrisanna Thayne, for some swimming in the lake. We went to the peer and jumped off several time into the cold water. Heather was really struggling with this as you can see from the video, but all in all it was a great time.
Also we took another trip back to the 90's and busted out the old puffy paints and made sweet custom tank tops for our fun time at the lake. Over all we called this weekend a 7-10 of the fun scale.

Back From Back East

Well it has been a while since I have had the opportunity to tell the world wide web about my life. Well I am letting you know that we are reunited. The world will again have the privilege of knowing about semi-interesting life life.
