Probably not as bad as I think it is

It's me Spencer. For most of you who read this blog you probably don't know me that well. You most likely read this to keep a tab on Rach which is totally understandable I would probably follow her too if I didn't see her every day. I am going to let her keep filling you in on the ins and outs of our life because for one, I have nothing to say and more importantly two, I don't want to. I am sitting in our apartment listening to Rachel and Kimi have some random conversation about dudes peeing on the seat or something like that while I watch a random basketball game on the tv (Washington Wizards vs. Sacramento Kings, I have absolutely no interest in either team and somehow I watched the whole game). I was surfing the web when I wanted to write something that had nothing to do with school work because today I took a final today that consisted of 3 hours of constant writing. I have decided to write an entry every once in awhile on what I am thinking at the moment. If you don't care what I have to say don't read this.

What's got me peeved at the moment is people. What I am most excited about for the holiday season is for all the people that get to go home for the Christmas break. For the last two weeks all I have heard is how people are so ready to leave Utah because they hate this place so much or they think it's so boring. I am so happy for those people that "get" to leave this place that they apparently can't stand. Enjoy the break guys and take this with you...get over yourselves. If you hate Utah so bad why are you here? In most cases no one is forcing you to be here, no one has a gun to your head. I know that Utah is not New York or L.A. or even Chicago or anything close to it but is Utah really that bad? The other day I overheard someone say "I am physically sick living here in Utah, it's nothing like where I'm from, I gotta get out of here." Seriously moron? Utah is physically causing you to be ill? Yes we are at somewhat of a higher elevation and the weather can be quite cold but making you sick? Sorry that we all don't get to live in Orange County, i'm sure its awesome there but I don't decide to live in San Diego and then say this place blows but i'm going to keep living here and make sure everyone I talk to knows how much I hate it here and even though its not that bad I need to prove how cool I am and how much they know I hate it here. The greatest thing about this is that LDS people are the ones that are saying this. You guys are right, Utah does not have a party scene whatsoever but I hear these comments the very most on the beloved campus of BYU. Last time I checked you went to a school with a folk dance team, BYU students aren't that cool and there is a strong possibility that the Utah haters are going to go home and do the same thing they would here but since its Utah they are so miserable. Look, I don't want to live in Utah my entire life, in fact I am looking forward to living somewhere else and experiencing new sights and sounds but I have chosen to live in Utah right now and life is as good as you make it. Enjoy the break Utah haters because I will be here waiting for you, ready to hear how awesome everywhere else but Utah is, but that you have still chosen to live here. All my ranting comes down to this simple piece of advice...if you don't like where you live, move. Until next time...

p.s. I hope people comment on this because I would like to hear the real reasons why Utah is so bad. I was born here so I am naturally biased but if you hate the Beehive State I want to know why. Again my beef is not with people who don't like Utah it's those who hate Utah and choose to live here.

Anniversary Part 1: Anaheim

For our 1 year anniversary (August 9th) we did a few fun things. WARNING: OVERLOAD OF PICTURES AND AWESOMENESS. The week before we went back up to school we adventured. We went to Anaheim to visit Zach and Jana and go to Disneyland. Jana is a Disney parade star and we had yet to see her in action. Also, we were engaged in Disneyland, right by the wishing well. Proof:

So we spent 2 FULL days at Disneyland. The first day we spent with Zach and Jana and loved it.




I think Spencer looks like Crush the Turtle from Nemo. He acts like it.

We got stuck on the Indiana Jones ride while Spence was driving.


They weren't really that happy. I was honestly scared out of my mind because I have always had a fear when I'm on that ride that we'll get stuck under the falling ball. Guess where we stopped the 2nd time, with uncontrolable hydraulics?!?!? What are the odds. I'll pretend I wasn't having a panic attack. They thought it was fun...hmmmm. Then, since we got stuck, they let us ride it again...gee thanks! We survived that time.


The firework show probably was the sweetest thing ever...not that I cried or anything on that perfect night....
I had never seen Fantasmic...it lived up to it's name. LOVED IT. Mickey rocked it.


This is how we felt by the end of the night. SPENT!


The second day we started with Jana and then watched her in the parade 3 times! We couldn't stop following them. Oh and don't sweat it, I was apart of the parade too. Together Jana and I danced and ruled the parade. Ok so she ruled it, but she let me join. It was the funnest and she is the most talented cutie ever.

She's so adorable and perfect



Spencer got to play the drum. He's gettin' down. People around starred. It rocked.

She loved us <3

We loved her.

How good is she?!? LOVE IT!

I got to join and do the Twist with her. She's in the yellow dress. Pluto also did the twist with me! Notice all the children...

Then we all got to do the CONGA! Spence rocked it.

Spencer hated that I made him do this. They probably did too.
Bugs Life

I might have pushed some lil kids out of the way to get this, but I always have to get 1 character pic to make it an official trip!

Spencer was on the rides and ROLLERCOASTERS texting...

Texting...

and Texting.... Dork


We went to the Angles game that night with them too. They exhausted us with fun.





Thank you guys so much for the celebration!

Tulare, CA: BABY DEAN!!

On our way to Anaheim this summer, we stopped in Tulare, CA (By Fresno kinda) to visit my brother Brett, his wife Kelly and their family. They had a new addition that we wanted to see. Dean Taylor. He is a stud. We wouldn't have seen him until he was 6 months or something, and I just couldn't have that. So our three hour detour was needed. We played and ate for 4 or 5 hours and loved it.

THEY LOVE HIM! They wouldn't leave him alone.



Boys will be boys.


EMMA <3



I love these kids. MISS THEM TO DEATH! Thanks guys.

BYU Homecoming

It was BYU's Homecoming a couple weeks ago and although the game SUCKED...the parade was quite entertaining. We live right on the corner of campus so the parade came on our street. Spence and I woke up a little earlier and went on in our scrubs. It was so cute. Pretty funny too. Documentation:




Oh and then, I sprained my ankle walking home. Little rolled down a hill, sprained it. I said "Spencer, keep walking," in a teary voice because i couldn't stand anyone noticing even more. I make quite the scene. I survived. But that stretch of walk has been the death of me lately..the puddle incident. I guess the conclusion is...I'm a clutz. Darn.

Spence's family came down to see our place, go to the game, and feed us. It was wonderful to have them, but the game was quite depressing. We got some Red Robin to make it better. Thanks Orrs!
(Spence had to goob up my picture)
Oh and ESPN College Game Day was there...no BIG DEAL! TCU tore it up. Cougars...nice try I suppose.

The boys in all their glory. Soakin' it up.
