Things that make me go . . . wow!

Okay I honestly get star struck pretty easily about some things and over some people . . .

Example A: My cousin and I went up to SLC for Spring Break I think our freshman or sophomore year of college (I was 19 I think) . . . anywho we were at the mall across from temple square eating in the food court and all of a sudden these two guys file past us . . . my cousin had her back to them but I was able to see them head on and about passed out . . . it was 2 guys from Jericho Road (okay you now know I am a major fan . . . but I think that was already fairly common knowledge) anywho I was all ga-ga and my cuz was looking at me like "what the hay" and then the other 2 walked by and I really about passed out! I started doing the "refrain scream" (grit your teeth and quietly let out a little shrill) . . . so after finding out what the dealio was my cuz said well lets go say hi . . . so we ran outside and they were across the street doing a photo shoot . . . but we were brave and got pictures with them on our cell phones! (In fact I passed that cell phone on to one of my little sisters . . . I think that the pictures are still on it). Okay now you know I am a little dorky!
Example B: Well shopping black Friday reminded me of that experience when we found our way to Santa's workshop and of course the first booth we see is the one and only Del Parson's! I absolutely LOVE his pieces! They are just incredible! Toph and I have talked about different paintings that we want in our home and Del has painted many of them!!! I absolutely love the American Revolution history and have total respect and gratitude for our founding fathers . . . so when I saw "The Old Man Wept" out on display I knew that I had to get it! Well then Del himself (who ironically attends church in our meeting house and who honestly doesn't live too far from us) sat down and offered to sign it for us . . . (so nice) then of course I was awe struck and had to tell him of one time when I was leaving my water color class at good ol' DSC and I saw him carrying out a massive painting (that I have yet to see released) and was in total awe! . . . Yeah I get pretty excited about stuff! Anywho story time is over . . . and it looks like we are going to be getting a mountain of snow for the next 5 days or so! Look for us when the pass opens in the spring! (from "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers". . . "the pass is open, the pass is open, . . . all able men meet at the preachers house . . .")
