Maple Grove and Fun

This past week has been a really good week. I was very happy to be around people I love and care for. I know I am scattered about these blogs but I have been really busy I just have not had time to blog. Since I am way early for class I decided to catch up. Lately it has been getting dark when I wake up from school. Yes it is fall and it is starting to get a little chilly outside so I brought out the jacket and long pants. Usually I wear shorts if it is above 65 degrees. Any who I got to spend time with my wonderful girl friend on going to maple grove with her family. We took some really pretty photos of them. I was pleased with what I captured. I loved it up there. The colors, sounds, smells, and sights. It was so pretty and I was in awe. I was happy we went because at first I did not know what to think of the trip. It was a lovely trip to the country side. Hardly any noise and nature surrounded us. It was nice because it was not to hot nor was it to cold. I had a great time with Amanda and her family. I feel that our bondage with each other is growing stronger. I was happy to be there with her. I always feel comfortable and I can be myself around her. We went to this amazing stream or small waterfall and it was beautiful.

My Photography!

My favorite part about the trip was we got to go onto a tree swing and I was really excited to do that do to the fact i thought it was just a tire swing. I was wrong the swing was on a hill and as soon as you took off you went really high. I was happy and I could do it again and again. Except for the time I slipped off that was fun too. I almost hit myself where it would have taken me a while to get up. This weekend we are going to watch the little brothers play football and then we are carving pumpkins. I am excited it has been a while since I carved a pumpkin. Speaking of pumpkins I have been craving a pumpkin shake I had one last night but they are so good. I have also been wanting pumpkin pie which sound really good. EGGNOG! oh how I love eggnog. Well that was a random fact for the day. I am really happy that it's that time of year where it's fall then it turns to winter. Why I love this season don't ask me why I just do. Holiday after holiday. It is great. Well off to class I go to build a set and work. Oh bother, I am tired but hey nothing like a good Coca Cola to help you.

Fall!

Dad's Jack O Lantern

It's fall I really don't know what I should talk about. It's fall this morning I had to actually use my ice scraper on my car. It is indeed fall. So some events happened over fall break. It was just a lazy time for me. I mean i got to spend some time with the family and some time with my girl. I am always happy to do either or. What the heck why not both if that. I felt so happy. I am going to be honest. I am in love and I said I would not get married until I was done with my masters degree. That plan failed like a ton of bricks. I am happy where I am in life. I mean I am not the richest person in the world, but hey I really don't care I have what I have and I am grateful. I am really excited Halloween is coming up. Sure it may be two weeks away but I am getting ready for our halloween party and halloween itself. I am really excited! I went into the storage room and I got something cool out. It was my Dad's old Jack O Lantern. He made it in high school. It was made from clay and then painted then baked in a huge oven so the paint looks really nice and shiny. The best part when it is night time he has a special effect. That's right he lights up. I thought this was cool as a younger kid. Now I am an adult and I still think it is really cool. I can't wait for halloween. I am excited.

1 year and still going.

1 Year and still going!

So I have been with someone for a year now and this happens to be Amanda Andersen. We are so excited we hit our year anniversary on October 4th. It is October and it is becoming fall and scarf season. I love it! Any who I met Amanda a year ago and we have been going strong. I love her so much. People ask me, "How do you go to Utah County when you live In the Salt Lake County?" I say "Love has no distance. It is so close and you can never be rid of the one you want to spend the rest of your life with." I think this will keep going and going. I love my significant other she is responsible caring and always makes sense. I am happy that the year was good. I can honestly say I found someone to love. I was taught in a Theatre ethics class that we need to be loved and love it is one of the human needs. I believe that it is true. I found someone who loves me and I really do love her. My Family and her Family finally met. I feel like they are alike despot some religious issues. To me that doesn't matter I love Amanda no matter what she is. She is my sweet heart my one true love. I am very happy I have her in my life and I would not change it in any way shape or form.

Making glass Flowers

Anniversary Dinner 

For Amanda's and My anniversary. We went to Texas roadhouse and we got anything we wanted on the menu and I got a 10 oz steak and then Amanda got an 8oz steak it was great and awesome. I feel like Amanda's was better than mine. I feel it was better. Because it was! We made glass flowers we got help of course and it was really cool I thought it was really thoughtful. I loved it I felt it was a good experience. For her dinner she made it homemade spinach pasta with alfredo sauce and baked italian parmesan chicken. We also had sparkling apple cranberry cider. I was in heaven it was the best dinner and it was good. I swear I am going to be fat before 30. But hey it is good food and I love it.

The Family minus Mom and Dad

The 5 J's

So it was lagoon day again. We always go to Frightmares. I was excited it was good weather and I had a blast. Did I mention my family invited Amanda. We where excited. I went on the sky coaster for the first time. I was nervous and scared as hell itself came on my front porch. At the same time I loved it free falling and then going down and flying soaring through the air. I missed the catapult though it's just so expensive. Next time I go I will go on it. I feel like it will be a blast. So they had a new sort of acting this year around 7:00pm zombies came out to scare people. I thought it was clever but a little scary I don't like zombies however. They scared my Mother. Her exact words and pardon my language, "AHH Oh my god! You fucking asshole." When the same zombie came to the some part of the park where we where she looked at him and said, "You Bastard." Oh how I love my Mother how I love my family. I was really happy that we all went to lagoon and I love my Mom and Dad. I could not ask for any other parents because they would not be my family. No family is perfect. We are a Family we live how we live and we don't judge. Sure we may have different methods but hey life is good with family.

Some one always loses

I have always herd the term someone always loses. I am just a little tired of this phrase. I am not angry. I am a little frustrated. I was recently at my girls place last night and she got some justice for herself. I won't go into the details because it is not my business. I was a little perplexed at the idea and how it turned around and slapped her in the face when we got scones from Emmet's and Ethel's. Which by the way, best scones ever! Any way we went to go see William Shakespeare's Othello. It was a wonderful production. I enjoyed it. Why you may ask. I loved the passion on stage and I loved the set, acting and the costumes. I drove do to some effects I don't mind driving. Amanda was suppose to drive, but something happened which I wish I could tell, but cannot at the same time. It is none of my business like I said before. We went to the production the campus of Utah Valley University was awesome! I go to the University of Utah but at the same time I loved going to another University. Amanda should be proud at going to such an awesome school. If they had an ATP I would certainly love to go. So again something happened when we got home and it was a slap to the face to Amanda. I was on her side because as soon as she wins some justice it gets turned around and always looses. So she took it out like the WOMAN she is and it is amazing. She was obviously hurt and she lost again. Dammit all! I feel like something has got to give somewhere. Obviously I will side with my girlfriend. She has a valid point I feel for her but I don't get challenged with stuff like her. She is incredible. We sat out on her tramp for a good 4 hours. We just talked and talked. We got to know more and more about each other. Amanda especially knew something about me that I didn't want to tell her until I was ready. I finally was. She finally got a lot to know about me. I had a wonderful night. So some people have to loose and some people win out of spite we don't want them too.


Tonight I am really excited we are going to see the University of Utah's production of William Shakespeare's A Mid Summer Nights Dream. I am excited we are going on another date! My turn. Amanda did a wonderful job at her date but now it is my turn. I have it all planned out my next blog will tell you how our date went I just need to say I need to make our dinner around 3:00pm. I am thinking something not heavy but elegant but filling. I have recipes. Tonight is going to rock. I cannot wait until I get to marry this girl. I know I just want to. I love her plain and simple and I would not ask for any other way. I also want her to know money is not an issues. I would spend $1,000 to see her or I would just steal her away. I know I am cheesy. We love our cheese. I am really excited! We are going to do it poor college kid style we are going to take the train and then we are going to have a picnic and then see the show. POOR COLLEGE STYLE!  WOO! I am so excited! I just want to let Amanda know I love her and she is the best woman of my life ever!! I can truly say I have found someone and she is so amazing and I can't wait for our life to start! Some one always loses, but I am always a winner because I have Amanda and I hope she feel like a winner because of me. I love her I have a date to plan and the little brothers going to the game! So excited!!
