New Year, New Stories, New TCU Fans

So, Shell and I went to LA to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. Things were going great. We decided to hang out in Hollywood for new years because its gotta be cool right? Well we ended up being bored around 9:20 pm. We did see a lot of skanks and hobos and stars on the ground but that didn't fill up our expectations. But then something happened...We were walking around in that mall across from the Jimmy Kimmel theatre and next to the Chinese theatre. Then a lady with a southern accent asked if the elevator went to the hotel (like it was the elevator from Willy Wonka?) and we didn't even know there was a hotel around so we joined her in looking for it and went to the top floor. When we exited the elevator the lady disappeared and we saw strange sightings such as people in elegant garb, Austin Powers and Marylin Monroe look alikes, and signs that read "TCU". I was filled with curiosity while Shell was filled with animosity. She was insistent we leave based on our apparel not being up to par but I went ahead and found the ballroom. It was arranged in such a manner as to every cliche of a rich party you could think of- live band, free creme bru le, and plenty of "old money". So once in, Shell had no choice but to follow as I didn't have a charged cell phone and she would've been left with the skanks and hobos. Wise choice. On the dance floor I started to bust a move and soon Shell was unleashed and we became king and queen of the dance floor. Still aware of our lack of knowing how soon it was before they said something I assured Shell that they'll all be drunk soon anyway and won't care. It was true. Nobody said a thing other than with their eyes and a few times with their mouths to compliment our dancing. It was a party for the alumni of Texas Christian University. They were playing in the Rose Bowl the next day and were having a swanky pep rally for the elite that pay for the whole party. They didn't care we were there and neither did the service. They counted down the new year on Texas time and the marching band crashed the party. We ate the treats and had a good time. I got my picture taken with a disgusted Marylin Monroe and found out how the other half does it. Happy New Year.

Won the Pumpkin Carving Contest with Maddy

 Meet Scarface

 She won some purple socks which are the exact ones she said she wanted when we started.

Maddy's dad Rodger was out of town so I joined her for Daddy Daughter night.

Guess who lost at Skipbo?

Has this ever happened to you?

 You beat Michelle at a relatively innocent card game.

 Then, she throws a fit?

If so, you are not alone.

 There is help.

The pumpkin died

Its pretty disgusting. It lasted about a week. What the dealio? This isn't coolio! I feel like the foolio!
In other news, Michelle and I are KILLING in our ward. We're getting a lot of laughs. In our Family History class we make everyone laugh. Wish I knew what killed our pumpkin. This picture looks like a scene from CSI if instead of mysterious deaths of people they investigated pumpkins.

Quote of the day:
The Prophet Joseph Smith stated, “The greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid upon us is to seek after our dead” (History of the Church, 6:313). He also stated: “This doctrine was the burden of the scriptures. Those Saints who neglect it in behalf of their deceased relatives, do it at the peril of their own salvation” (ibid., 4:426).

Sushi

Went to a Sushi place for Vicky's birthday. 

This sort of looks like some interactive art theatre or something.

I found this weird picture of my dad with two wiener dogs on his lap. Its weird because who would be that excited enough about "End Tab Folders" to want a picture with them?

First pumpkin carving in years

A visual update on whats new with Nick and Miguel

Well I guess what happened to Michelle isn't really new. Unless you consider that its the most painful kidney stone shes ever had. Thats saying alot.









I sold my art at the Farmer's Market. My booth was next to the face painting. I'm not sure if it hurt business. I did scare people. As I was sitting I'd see people kind of jump once we made eye contact. Even scared little Gibson who refers to me as Joker anyway.
