So yea I slacked off and haven't been on here for the last little while. I've been busy ok! haha. We had tech week for our show last week and lets just say it was a long week. We opened that same week and our opening nights were pretty good. It's a pretty fun show, I rather enjoy it. Its full of laughs and has some of the most random dance numbers that range from West Side Storyness to Waltzing....and crazy Spanish Style dancing. But overall its a pretty fun show.
I recently Started seeing someone and we have been dating for almost a month! I know hold the applause..Her name is Katie Anderson and she really is one of the most incredible people I've ever met. How we met is rather funny...One of my best friends Taylor called me up one night after rehearsals and was like "hey what are you doing Saturday night" I told him nothing and I was told to meet him at his place around 6 because we are going to Miss Pg Pageant. Now before I asked why he hung up on me..So I was to sit and ponder for 2 days why we are going to a High School pageant...Luckily for me the day of he wanted to go shooting so we grabbed all our stuff and headed up the mountain. I asked him on the way up why the heck we were going to a pageant for high school girls, and apparently he was dating one of the contestants...now after he said this I was kinda laughing because I just thought they were all high school aged lady folk, but the age is actually 18 to 24 so ok I was excited. We showed up got our seats and started to watch. The pageant was actually pretty cool...ok really there were only a few parts I actually liked. All the girls did a wonderful job and the girl that won did some awesome crazy dance thing.
We got invited over to Taylor's dates house after the show. Her name was Amanda..I felt a little weird at first mainly because it was me Tay, Amanda her family and a bunch of other people that I had no idea who they were. So I just grabbed some cake and chilled in the kitchen. Katie didn't come in till a few minutes later and as soon as I saw her I couldn't keep my eyes off her. She is beautiful. We only talked for about 5 minutes and since everything I said sounded like I was a bumbling idiot I didn't get her number before she left. To find out later that she was actually waiting around upstairs for me to go get her number lol..Good going Mont! The rest of the night was fun, we were quizzed by Amanda's 5 year old sister on how many girls we have kissed and if we were gonna marry a girl from the pageant. Good times. I did eventually get her number from one of her friends and Sunday afternoon I got up the guts to send her the cheeseist text I think I've ever sent to a girl. But hey it worked. We had our first day a few days later and it has been great since then.
She really is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. She is so caring and so full of love for those that are dear to her. As well as those that aren't that she just randomly meets. I just sit back and watch so many times as she is always helping and playing with little kids, that just seem to love having her around. She has such a great personality basically the same as mine lol and she has a great sense of humor. She loves the church with all her heart and she is just fun to be around and spend time with. She is beautiful inside and out and i love having her in my life. I've started to become a better person because of her and its great! I'm still psychotic and goofy but in a better person kind of way! haha. More updates on how we are doing in the future...
I was up at my parents place the other day and driving by there was kind of depressing. The gully that I spent most of my childhood is slowly turning into a world of golf and housing which is a bummer for many reasons.
1. When the dam breaks again(which is will) all those pretty houses that cost lots of money will be under water and so will the golf course heheh.
2. I basically spent every day of my childhood from ages 10 to 18 there catching lizards, snakes, scorpions and all sorts of things that would keep us kids entertained. We even spent a few days a year sitting in the dirt looking at rocks trying to find fossils in the rocks that the river had brought down from the mountains. I've even got some pretty cool ones that we found out there. I still have a huge leaf imprint from a plant that is from like 3 million years ago..
We would wake up eat, then head straight down there because we all knew that the lizards would be sluggish in the mornings because of the chilly nights. We always had everything planned out lol. We had groups of us that would go down corner them in bushed and catch them. We all got pretty used to being bitten by snakes and lizards and it got to the point where I didn't even know they were biting me. As we grew older our parents bought us firearms and we would add shooting birds to the list of things to do..We literally spent at least 4 hours a day in that gully. I've gone down there now a few times with some of the littler kids in the ward because parents have asked us to show them how to catch things and it just isn't the same. You have golfers going around everywhere, people running the new trail they have in and there is no more quiet anymore. We saw maybe one or two lizards in the couple hours we were down there when before there would be 20 or 30 that we would catch and the other 20 or 30 that got away from us. The kids got bored after a while and just wanted to go back and play with their Ipods or play video games and it made me realize that the kids now a days just aren't the same in almost no sense that we were when we were kids. We didn't have any of those things growing up and that's how we spent our time.
It's always sad to see old haunts and things being redone or made to fit more people but it makes you realize how vast and huge this world really is. And how ever changing it all is. I learned how to do so many things back in the day because if i wanted to know something my parents would always be like well go figure it out. So I usually did. Now you can just go look it up on the net and have huge details how to do things. I miss the old days but look forward to a bright future with teaching my future kids how to catch a snake or shoot a bird and just have a good time in the wonderful outdoors that we have been so blessed to have so close to us in this state. There are so many things slowly going away to be made for new house divisions and schools and malls and everything that people think will satisfy their now needs. It's crazy how times change and people do what they think is the the "in thing and lose sight of what really is important to them. But hey we all have done it and most of us keep a small glimpse of things we learned how to do to pass on in our lives. And that is how the cookie crumbles
