My Google.

Dear Wifey aka Kay to the Tee:


You don't think you are the smartest person, but you still give me answers to almost every question I ask. You are the smartest person I know. My own little google. You don't think you are the cutest girl in the world, but we have a mirror in our house. I don't understand why you can't see what I see. You are the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world. My oh, My oh, My Boooo. You don't think you are the best friend anyone could ever have, even though you try to be there for all of your friends at the same time. I'm YOUR best friend so who do you think mine is? You are the best friend anyone could ever have and my beyond bestie. You don't want to stand on your tippy toes, because you are afraid you might fall. You talk about how clumsy you are, but I never see you fall. You don't want to crinkle your nose, because your Aunt Candyce says it will cause wrinkles soon. Eventually we will all have wrinkles and I think it's cute when you stand on your tippy toes and crinkle your nose. You are the bestest. Te amo, chica.

Disneyland.

Last week, Katie, her parents, and I went to Disneyland. It was my first time. I have to say, at 23, I'm a little late but it was sick! I love Disneyland! I know a lot of Disney haters but none of them seem to hate Disneyland. They know how to make a stupid little ride into an experience that you'll remember vividly for the rest of your life. Before we went on any rides though, we went to Club 33 for breakfast. They had the white marble table from Mary Poppins and the piano from Walt Disney's theater. We got to ride an old elevator and see photo's of Walt Disney. We ate omelette's, potatoes, top sirloin, and fresh fruit. There was more food, but since that was all that was on my plate, that is all I can remember. Don't get me wrong, I had multiple plates of those four things. After some fine dining at Club 33, we spent the rest of the day in the park. Below are some of MY favorite Disneyland attractions:

1. My favorite ride was Pirates of the Caribbean. I wanted to say Splash Mountain was my favorite because of the drop at the end, but nothing can beat the pirates. Jack Sparrow is BOSS.

2. Which makes Splash Mountain my number two. This is my second favorite because of the five-story plunge at the end. Adrenaline rush.

3. The Soaring Over California ride in California Adventure was amazing. It felt like we were hang gliding over Cali. We could even smell the scent of oranges as we went over the orange fields! Since I couldn't decide which ride I liked better, I have another number three.

3. Space Mountain was surreal. "Out of this world" special effects. I seriously felt like I was flying through space. You should have seen the smile on my face, I was so happy! The best part about it is that we got to go through a second time without waiting in line. I guess some little girl took too long to get out at the end.

4. I have to say the scariest of the day and my number four goes to The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. This ride is crazy! You will know what I'm talking about when you get in the elevator and have to put on a seatbelt. Falling 13 stories definitely made my stomach tighten.

5. The ride, Indiana Jones Adventure, was pretty exciting too. It really feels like you're riding in a jeep with Indiana Jones through the use of Disney's innovative Enhanced Motion Vehicles.


We didn't go on the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage because we didn't want to wait in the extremely long line and there was no fast pass for it, but by the looks of the line and the fact that its underwater, I'm sure the ride is awesome. I was also disappointed in California Screamin, but only because they were having some technical difficulties. The Matterhorn was also under construction and I was looking forward to seeing the abominable snowman I had heard about. The Haunted Mansion was fun even though it wasn't very scary. I'm sure it was scary enough for the little ones. Love the scary images in the stretching elevator and the New Orleans plantation vibe. It was a relaxing ride for me. I also had fun on the Jungle Cruise, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters was like being inside of a video game. Katie murdered my score the first time, but I made sure there was a rematch and I got her back the second time. The two rides I didn't like were Star Tours and "It's a small world." The Star Tours ride was alright and the people around me loved it, but it made me a little motion sick. "It's a small world" is great for children, but that song might just drive you "insane in the membrane," as the Beastie Boy's once put it. Last, but definitley not least, I saw Princess Tiana perform.

Inspired by Mr. Jones.

I cannot stand backpack's anymore. Do you wear them over one shoulder or two? I don't want to wear my backpack over one shoulder, because then I might develop lower and upper back pain. Plus, I don't want to strain my shoulders and my neck. If I wear it over two shoulders, I look like a nerd, walking to class with this giant backpack as I hunch forward. I'm into some nerdy stuff, but come on. I decided that I'm going to get a messenger bag. Maybe they lead to the same problems as a back pack over one shoulder, I don't know, but I'm going to do me. That's right, I'm getting a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.

7.2 in 3D.

The last couple of weeks have been brilliant. Easter Sunday was cool. We dyed eggs in the morning after a sleepover at my parents house and then went to see Clash of the Titans in 3D. Watching movie's in the theatre on Sunday has never been done before by us and I have to say, I will never do it again. Towards the end of the movie, the whole theatre started shaking when the big monster died and was falling into the ocean. It scared me a little. My first thoughts were, "I didn't know these 3D movies had these special effects. This is crazy." Then Katie looked at me with a scared look on her face and said, "What was that?" I responded, "It's an earthquake." She yelled, "We need to get out, now!" So I was like, "Go, go, go! Run along now, family." Not in those exact words, but it sounds cooler than what I actually said. We all ran out through the emergency exit of the theatre and my sister's boyfriend, not the brightest guy in the world, took her out through the lobby. I was a little frustrated, especially since after it was all over, he was making fun of the people who went out through the lobby and he was one of them. We later found out it was a 7.2 earthquake. The biggest I have ever felt. There were two people killed in Mexico which is tragic, but nothing compared to what happened in Haiti or Chile. My dad and I went to the customer service desk and told them we missed the last ten minutes of the movie because of the earthquake, and they gave us all free readmission tickets. The other day, after Katie and I had breakfast at Coco's, we picked up some BK and went to the park to wait for Lindsey to get off of work. She works with little kids at the YMCA. Nathan and I chose the picnic table by the trees so we could be "one" with nature. Katie wouldn't let us sit on the grass, because she says she is allergic to it which I still don't believe. Nathan and I had a Whopper Jr. eating contest and I won of course, by like a whole burger. Some people think my brother can eat more than me now. Let me clear this up for everyone. Not true. Spring break was really fun while it lasted. Now I have to get my head back into school. Since I've been back from spring break, I don't get to see Katie as much which makes me sad. We have been getting a lot of Monday's off together though. This Monday, we went to see Date Night. That movie is hilarious. The only things that suck about Monday's are that the San Diego temple isn't open and then I have class Monday night. Class makes it hard to go out and do things, because I have to be back by six. Oh well, sometimes its not where you're going but who you're with. I'm perfectly happy with my radiantly beautiful wife, on the inside and out, no matter where we are. The End.


Pray for the Haiti and Chile earthquake victims.
