Christmas Time in the City

Seeing that Christmas is right around the corner, I thought I would update the blog since this is a good time to do it and I am normally not very successful at doing this often. However; I have been extremely busy falling more and more in love with my most favorite girl in the world, McKenzee Anderson. There sure has been quite a bit going on the past few months as we are now engaged to be married and have been now for about two months. Oh boy! Time flies!

McKenzee and I have had such a great time being in love and being engaged. The past two months have been a lot of fun and have been filled with a lot of incredible activities! Summer finished off with a bang with a fun evening up at Sundance to see the outdoor play, "The Sound of Music". This was such a great time as we took the whole family with us and really enjoyed ourselves. Along with this came two Lake Powell trips, one with each family. October is definitely not the prime time of year to be in the normally sweltering hot Lake Powell, nevertheless, Lake Powell is Lake Powell. Many games were played and pictures taken as 2 trips to Powell in 3 weeks were complete. The following week was one of the most important weeks of our new young lives together.

Thursday October 13, 2011 will surely be a day that we will remember forever. What appeared to be a normal Thursday evening for McKenzee turned out to be her first day of being an engaged woman. Kenzee normally has school in the evenings until 10 or so which makes it very difficult to make any type of big plans to ask her to be married, however; I am awesome and made it happen. We had previously arranged to go shopping at the Gateway Mall on her fall break from school, which happened to be this same Thursday. Wednesday morning I coordinated with all of our siblings and their spouses and parents to meet us downtown for a treasure hunt throughout the Gateway to eventually get to the place where I would ask McKenzee to marry me. As we approached the mall I made secret phone calls and messages to make sure that everyone was in place and the clues were given and ready to go. Each sibling had a different clue to lead her around from store to store around the mall to get to her expensive prize at the end. Kenzee and I walked up the escalators from the parking lot and just so happened to see my parents...with the first clue. From there at the ice cream parlor to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory she went where her parents were with a carmel apple to enjoy later. Off to American Eagle she went to find Levi, Erin, Aislyn and Drew waiting with her next clue. From there she headed to Bath & Body Works where Zach, Collie, Easton and Corbin were anxiously awaiting to send her off once again. She then had some troubles finding Mandy and Makelle at Abercrombie & Fitch but finally tracked her down. Speedily racing down the sidewalk she neared Victoria's Secret where Rob and Courtney were hiding with the next clue. That pointed her in the direction of the Apple store where Cole snuck her the next clue. She then scooted over to Starbucks where Brad, Ashley and Parker were waiting with some Carmel Apple Cider to partake of soon after that. That last clue instructed her to turn around and head back down the stairs to the fountain where I was waiting with two dozen roses and a HUGE smile. I think at that point she was expecting me to ask her right there, however there was more to the evening than just a treasure hunt. We exchanged Hugs and kisses and plenty of smiles and took a few minutes to say hello to the family, now all gathered together and then made our way behind the Gateway and awaited an arrangement that I had made earlier that day. A horse and buggy came and snagged us up and ventured us to Temple Square. On the 20 or so minute drive, we were able to enjoy our treats and talk about many different things that we wanted in our lives and how awesome our love was for each other. I brought with me the list of qualities and characteristics I had jotted down a few years back and read them to her before we made our way around Temple Square. We then slowly meandered around the square and ended up near the reflection pool. This was such a magnificent sight as we both looked into each others eyes and dreamed of going back one day soon to be married there. The opportunity opened up just perfectly and I went for it. I didn't really have much planned by way of what I wanted to say and I actually don't even really remember what I said but we talked a lot about being in love and being so happy and so grateful that we found each other and most importantly, what we wanted our future to be like together. The time was just right and I got down on one knee and made my move. I asked her how she would like it if both of our names had Merrill on the end. She said that she would really like that. "Will you marry me?" I asked. "Of course" she said with an enormous smile and tears in her eyes. This truly topped off an amazing evening and the beginning of our life together. I have grown to love McKenzee more than she will ever know and I am so thankful for the strength that she gives to me and the love that we share. I honestly wouldn't be half the man I am today without her. She is everything to me and I am so thankful and will forever be grateful for the woman who changed my life and who I will get to the spend the rest of ever with. This is such a great feeling! I don't remember a time when I have been happier!

Other than that, the past few months have been full of a lot of school and work for the both of us. Thanksgiving brought us to Sacramento California where we had some great food and an 80th birthday party for Grandpa Harris. A day in Apple Hill and a few 10 hour drives topped off the trip. We have since had a few Christmas activities to attend to enjoy the Christmas spirit and to help begin our wonderful life together. I seriously couldn't feel more blessed and privileged to be so close to such a remarkable girl. I feel so lucky to be marrying her. I can't wait for the rest of our life together!

August '11

So...I guess the posting more often didn't really pan out very well. However, Once a month-ish is a whole lot better than once a year. The past month has been one of the best I would say, probably in my whole life. I have had so many good experiences to help my relationship with my favorite girl flourish and develop into something even more special than before. This is so great! I am so far in love and have such a sense of happiness that I haven't ever felt before. Kenzee is such an incredible girl and I am always being shown different ways in which she amazes me and how much she truly loves me. I am absolutely crazy for this girl!

The past few weeks have sure helped me to become closer to Kenzee and also her family which is very important to us both. Over the past year, this was one thing that we were both fairly concerned with just because of the way that we've had to construct our relationship. I am so grateful for the love and support that our families have given us. We've had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with both of them and they have been beyond supportive and happy for us and helping us get to our goal of being married in the temple one day soon. Three nights of fireworks, a play at Hale Center Theatre, a weekend in Bear Lake, a long 80th birthday party/day and many other experiences have shown our families how in love we are and their support truly means the world to us. Recently, Kenzee's parents have posed questions to Kenzee about marrying me. Not bad questions but good ones. The latest of which went along the lines of, WHEN are you going to marry Danny? Oh man. Kenzee called me as soon as she could gather her composure like so excited!! I would say that the 28th of July was the point in which my worries of families accepting what we're wanting to do went completely out the window. This feeling that I have about this is so much fun and so exciting that I can barely handle it!

In the past, as I have thought about the girl I would one day marry, I never really pictured her with a specific body type or hair color or anything like that. However, whenever I did think about whoever it was, in the past, I knew that we would be a perfect fit. Someone who knows your thoughts and concerns before you even express them to each other. Someone who can take your pain and frustrations away with a hug. Someone who knows just what to say to make everything seem okay. I find myself feeling so close to Kenzee in so many different aspects of life and I am so excited for those feelings and emotions to continue to blossom and become something I have never even dreamed of. Thank you, thank you, thank you to my most favorite girl for being my princess! I love you more than anything baby!

Summer of Dreams - 2KXI

After nearly 10 months or so of not posting anything, I guess its about time I update this thing that I call my blog. I like to keep up with technology the best I can and this blog business is definitely a place where I lack. Hopefully more consistency will take place as I move throughout this journey I call life.

I'm having troubles deciding, more like figuring out where to start. So much has happened since last fall, we'll see how this goes. I'll start where I spend most of my time thinking; my most favorite girl, Kenzee. Last fall left us with sporadic half an hour visits, every other week or so. A few visits through September and an evening towards the end of October, that ended up holding us over until summer was spent at the school play where Kenzee did such an amazing job looking beautiful, dancing and singing like she does best. While watching her, I noticed throughout the play, how much I truly loved this girl. She started each scene in a different spot and every time the lights came up, I spotted her almost immediately. Call me weird or creepy, I call it being in love. We were able to spend some time together afterwards which was the extent of our hanging out sessions other than two give or take 20 minute happen stance run ins over the next 8 months. Whoa!

Over the past 10 months, I have scrimped and saved to prepare myself for the summer where my dreams are starting to come true. In my mind, my logical thinking mind, ducks need to be in rows if you will, when big life changing activities take place. Last summer, not only was Kenzee not done with school, I wasn't in a mindset with the capabilities to make things work. There were specifically 3 different areas in which I wanted to improve in my life to make it so that I could provide in the ways that I feel like I need to for another individual. First, Mentally. I needed to get out of the school mode and start focusing even more on work and doing things that will lead me to more of a financial Provider. Which leads me to the second aspect of feeling ready to settle down with someone, financially. As of last Spring after school finished, I was about $4,500 in debt. Between credit cards, vacations and back payments of phone and insurance bills. It all added up to quite a number. Over the past 10 months, I have been able to eliminate that debt and actually have around $2,000 in savings. I have also been able to purchase some toys that I felt like I needed (wanted) before Kenzee and I continued our journey together. I have a new iPod, iPad, iMac and MacBook Pro. I have no idea how all of this happened, other than a lot of hard work and savings techniques that snuck up on me. Along with these 2 parts of D Murr's philosophy of preparing to settle down, comes the most important, Spiritually. I sure had and still do have a long way to go before I'll be to a point where I can be satisfied with my spirituality. However, I feel as if this past year or so has truly prepared me for what needs to happen with me and my future in helping me become the person that I need to be. I felt like I needed to be worthy; of such an incredible girl, the Lord's magnificent Priesthood, the love of my Heavenly Father and most importantly for my mind's sake, myself. I have seen an incredible amount of improvement in this area of my life that I find myself smiling more often and having an increased desire to serve others, take part in personal prayer, attend church meetings and the partake of the blessings that await in the sacred temple. I feel like the combination of these three things have helped me feel more prepared for being able to provide for and love another precious individual. I feel like I've done a pretty good job at this lately, and in turn, find myself the absolute happiest I've ever been. It feels great!

Other activities that took place over the course of the past few months include weekend ski trips to Snowbird, about 10 of them over the course of the winter. 2 trips to the fancy Deer Valley and an opening sesh at the Mountain Resort in Park City. Winter was definitely a success to keep my mind focused on not going insane without my girl in my life. The Saturday Morning Specialists ended up killing about 15 days with 5 or so of which were done in about knee deep freshness. Sick. The spring time brought a quick trip down to Phoenix with Cole and the Wadsworth private jet. Straight up sillyness for certain. Golfing, hanging out and driving a HUGE truck home topped off the weekends activities. The following weekend was spent in sunny St. George/Las Vegas with Rhetnal Scan and Rosscoe Dash. After about $1,000 of winnings from Mega Bucks for Doc and an incredible show from the Blue Man Group at the MGM and an $8 Red Bull and a crazy expensive game of golf, the weekends activities were a success for the Ninja Wolfgistics Team. I'm sure that the activities that I have left out were fun and exciting, I just can't remember them, thus the reasoning behind me hoping to become more into a routine in posting.

Today being the 21st of June, and the longest day of the year btw, I have been hanging out with my most favorite girl in the whole world for about a week and a half now. the 11th of June brought an amazing reunion that was long overdue. a relaxing romantic walk and talk sesh along the sidewalks and fountain area of the Gateway mall downtown started off the evenings activities. The evening continued on to a hilarious play, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, at the Hale Center Theater later that night. We were able to talk face to face about real life situations, expressing our love to each other and spending some good quality time together for the first time in nearly 8 months! The overwhelming amount of happiness and joy that filled my heart that night, I can't describe but I'm sure that other people who are or have been in love know what I'm referring to.

Kenzee brings so many fun emotions out in both of us. When we are together, we spend most of the time laughing or tickling and just bugging each other (in a good way). It really is so much fun and so cute and probably pretty annoying if anyone else were to be around. There are so many things that I absolutely love about this girl. She makes me feel like the person that I want to be, the person that I want to become. She knows and tells me how awesome I am. She is never quick to judge and always knows when to hold her tongue. She exercises an extreme amount of patience with me and my shortcomings which I am ever so grateful for. She helps me be the happiest I've ever been. Plain and simple. Happiest. EVER! She always cares about me and shows me that she cares in a new way just about every day. Most of all, the thing that I love most about her is the ways that she finds to show me that she loves me. Every single day, she somehow digs into her bag of whatever she has and finds a new way to take my breath away, a new way to make my heart melt and I absolutely love it! She truly is the girl of my dreams and I am so thankful for her in my life. I am also very thankful to a Heavenly Father who is mindful of me and who knows what I am going through and most of all, knows, what is best for me. I'm grateful for the chance that I have to be here on the Earth to go through the things that I need to to help me become a better person, a better disciple of Christ, A better brother, uncle, son and one day father. I don't know what I would do without the strength that my Heavenly Father gives me each and every hour of the day. He knows me, He loves me and I can feel it and find that one of the most valuable lessons I've learned in my life. I've been waiting for this feeling for such a LONG time and after all I've been through with relationships; the trials and tribulations, the good times and the bad, the hard and the easy; I can recognize that Heavenly Father knows best and is blessing me more than I ever thought I would ever deserve. Kenzee is, by far the most incredible woman I have ever met. She is caring in a sincere way that makes me feel like I am loved even through a text message. She is mindful of others and knows what is best for herself and never settles for anything less than the best, which is very attractive. She always works extremely hard and knows that hard work brings things to life and makes things happen. She is motivated to not only do good for herself, but to do good for others. She is determined to succeed in every aspect of her life and I adore that about her. She is an amazing motherly figure to many kids around her including nieces and nephews and neighbors. A motherly instinct is very difficult to acquire, even being a mother, Kenzee already has it, which is so so important to me. Kenzee knows how to show other people and especially me how to be a good example of how to be. Kenzee is, honestly and truthfully, the most amazing girl in the world in my book and I feel so blessed to be a part of her life and to be so in love with her. I can't even begin to explain what she means to me. She means the world and so much more to me and I love and adore her more than she'll probably ever know. Needless to say I'm a little bit crazy-in-love, head-over-heels excited about this girl and what the future holds for us. The feelings that we both have for each other are so much fun and after contemplating, praying, thinking and meditating for what seems like hours upon hours, I know that this girl is the girl who I want to marry. She truly helps me to be the happiest I have ever been. I want to spend my life and the eternities with her, the woman of my dreams, the girl in my life, my lover girl, homie, and best friend. McKenzee Dee Anderson. I love you baby!

2 Thousand N Ten - MMX

WOW! 2010 has absolutely flown by and I'm not really too surprised that I haven't posted anything for quite some time due to the amount of time I don't have. I actually think that it's more like I don't make time to create posts, but here is the update for the past year.

The Winter Dew Tour made a stop off in Northern Utah this year and of course being the ski bums that we are, we had to go and take part. Myself, BMER, Hollywood and the newly arrived Zatch-Ass were among the attendees as we checked the slopestyle and half-pipe events, much fun and many red bulls were had.

February brought a birthday trip for my brother down to St. George. My brother is a big golfer and likes to be able to golf any time he wants. He decided that for his birthday this year, he wanted to go and play some golf down in the sun. While I was down there, I went down to Vegas to see some friends that I know from my mission. The Robbins family was really a lot of fun to be with along with the ever so pretty Lindsay. It was really good to catch up with her and spend some time with her as we reminicsed on our times together in Indiana.

The rest of the winter entailed more ski trips up to the bird and an occasional night outing up to Brighton. Nearly every Saturday encompassed at least a little bit of riding from the original three man ski crew. Looking out the window right now and seeing that the leaves are changing, the weather is cooling, and ski movie premiers are around the corner, ski season is approaching and it better be here fast dammit.

April marked probably one of the most memorable moments of my life, up to this point, GRADUATION! On the 30th I graduated from college. This was an incredible experience for me to learn and to grow, not only from professors and classmates, but also about myself. I felt like I had accomplished something. Something like never before, plus it also showed me that I don't ever have to go to school again! That just makes my little mind skip along like an elementary school kid. The biggest accomplishment thus far in my life, I am definitely glad I stuck it out and finished and had the opportunity to complete 22 year long journey entitled; School. Check.

After graduation, the Munro's from Cincinnati invited me to take a trip to Orlando with them and their grand daughter who was being sponsored by Make-A-Wish at Disney World. I found some flights for 180 dollars round trip and packed up for a few days and jammed. Many fun times and memories at Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios & Epcot Center made up the 3-day trip and much fun was had by all!

May brought in the summer right with the first family trip to Lake Powell leaking in to June. Ashley and Brad came down on Friday after the rest of the family ventured down Thursday night. Ashley originally needed a buddy to ride down with because Brad was going to come down with the rest of the fam. However, work allowed Brad to stay and him to come down Friday. Well, Ashley had already asked Kenzee Anderson to ride down with her, so she came down with them, which was VERY okay with me. I have had my eye on, and had a secret crush on Kenzee for quite some time (since I met her 2 summers ago actually) and we had been texting kind of off and on over the previous weeks. I felt like this was my chance to get to know her and have some fun! I haven't taken anyone I've been interested in to Lake Powell for a really long time, so I thought this would be really fun for me and for us. As the weekend went on, we had some good close times where we were able to just chat and just be alone together. We watched a movie before going to sleep, slept up top to watch the stars and wondered if we could pretend like the airplanes in the night sky were like shooting stars and wish on them, because secretly for us both, we were living a wish by being together. A cute little cuddle sesh after getting wet accidentally on a boat ride to get some dinner was the highlight of the trip and the first time I really felt close to her. It was awesome! Lake Powell trip number 1 for Oh 10, successful.

The rest of my summer was spent chasing after Kenzee and falling in love. I was, and still am very okay with this. She is such an incredible girl who I have grown to love oh so very much. After we returned home from Powell, we began to talk more and more and our relationship began. We went out a few times and felt that the time we spent together was really special. We began to realize that we really liked to be with each other and over the course of just a few weeks, we hung out 5 or 6 times! There was something different about this girl though. Something that I could tell right off the bat. Not only is this girl like very talented when it comes to playing the piano, motherly instincts, caring for others, singing beautifully and working hard. She is drop dead gorgeous! I just love how beautiful she is all the time! She is one of those girls who can get ready with jeans and a t-shirt, no make-up and a sports bra and still look absoluttely stunning! She doesn't think so, but I sure do! There are just so many things that I have grown to love about her and the list keeps growing each and every day! She always wants to make sure that I am happy and tells me how awesome I am on a daily basis. This girl truly is the girl of my dreams! I've tried to look for things that are wrong with her and I think I'm going to be looking for a really long time. She honestly is that good. She is so good for me and makes me feel like I can accomplish anything! It really is awesome!

Over the course of July, we hung out numerous times and had a lot of fun doing different activities together to start our journey. We first kissed on the 16th of July on my lovesac watching Serendipity. Of course, pretty fitting, we both LOVE chick flicks! It was very fun and over the next few weeks, we went mini golfing, had numnerous dinners, ice cream trips and just good talk/hang out seshes. The 24th of July brought a demolition derby to Kamas and we sure had a lot of fun being together and watching the cars slam into each other! This is the first time I was for real tempted to tell Kenzee that I loved her. As the evening went on, we were able to talk and decided that because she was so young and still needing to finish high school, that we needed to cool off and let her have fun for her senior year instead of spending all of her time with her favorite boy and missing out. That is the point we were at at the end of July. We had a chance to go to the Tim McGraw concert together on the 30th and had such a great time together and really felt an awesome connection!

After the demolition derby, Kenzee and I had a chance to talk about us and our future together. We both kind of had the idea of her being able to finish her high school without having to worry about dating me and being able to have a normal high school life. This is something that has been very important to me from the beginning of her and I becoming interested in each other. It was such a good talk for us both for us to see each other showing and feeling emotions for each other. It was really good to help us become closer and to feel the love we have for each other. This was the beginning step for us in our journey. I know that this is going to be one of the hardest things I've done up to this point, but I know that this is what needs to happen in order for respect from each other and our families to be gained and also for us to be able to figure out ourselves before we try and figure out each other. We both realized that the love that we have for each other is so great that another year for her to finish school isn't going to be that bad. There are some days when I really want to see her and just hold and hug and kiss her, but we always tell each other that it will be worth it to wait. It definitely won't be easy but it will be worth it. So worth it! Over the past few weeks we have seen each other a few times, between trips to the shop or softball games or cute little half an hour visits that make the week apart so worth it!

There are quite a few things that I absolutely love about Kenzee that I have been searching for in a girl for quite some time. I love the way that she makes me laugh, the way she makes me feel when I'm down or discouraged. I love the way she holds me and lightly tickles my back or arm when I lean forward, or when we're watching a movie. I love the way that she relieves stress just by one little phrase or smile. The way that she makes me feel is like no other feeling I have felt before and I absolutely love it! There are even things that Kenzee does for me that I didn't even realize I liked or wanted in a girl. The way that she understands me, both in our conversations and over text messages is like no one else. She understands the inner most thoughts of my mind and of my heart. More times than an hundred, we have finished each others sentences and found ourselves saying the same phrases at the same time! There are just so many things that I love about this girl, that I can't even list them all. The closeness that I feel with her is unmatched!

I do know one thing though, I love her. I truly do. The things that I feel with her seem like they go beyond love. Every time I talk to her on the phone, I hang up and cry, just tears of joy stream down my face and as I kneel down to pray and I ask myself why I have been blessed to be involved with such an incredible girl? Why is it? Me, a normal kid who has been through somewhat a lot in his life, deserve a girl with such high standards, such good morals, such a strong work ethic, and so many talents? I haven't figured that out yet, but I'm sure that she sees something in me that nobody else does and that makes me feel like I can do anything. It makes me feel so special that someone can finally see what I have seen all along in myself. I really can't believe that I'm living this way. Like, I am SO happy to have such an incredible girl and to be moving in the right direction with the right speed and the proper feeling. I've never felt this good about a girl and I am so excited about it!

The rest of the month of July brought other activities as well including the craziest night of my life filled with 90% of a 5,000 person crowd being on drugs at the Deadmau5 concert, and a Dubstep show at the W lounge in Salt Lake by Nero with some of the sickest music I've ever heard, with lots Red Bull of course, but nothing compares to the way that I feel about my girl and the way things are going with her! Although we don't hang out as often as we would like, we text most of the day, everyday, between her classes and practices for the school play and choir, and talk on the phone every night. I absolutely love this girl!

There is only one other thing that I am excited about right now, this being the month of August, and school starting back up, is that I don't have to go back! It's finally kicked in with everyone else going back, that I never have to go back! I'm pretty stoked about that!

Winter...Finally!

Oh man, the past few months have been full of adventure and even more fun. (of course) So many things have arisen and been taken part of, I almost don't even know where to start, almost. Halloween brought many fun parties and even a jam sesh with some high school friends and a hella sick DJ. (Yep, D Murr) Droppin' beats and mixing like an animal was the name of the game for this kool kat. Oh, not to mention the 16 ounce Red Bull to go along with. Man, I love to play music. Halloween night brought even more craziness with some of my closest partnas (C Dub Ya, TG & Q Ball) at Q's place. Yep with more Red Bull.

The middle of November brought yet another wakeboarding trip, this time to St. George. Sand Hollow was the place and although it was St. George, it was still pretty damn cold. Tessy, Cam and I were in the boat bundled up while Cole froze in the lake. Poor kid. Zagg was shooting a new commercial launching their waterproof covering for mobile devices. Yeah, wakeboarding with your pod. Sick. We all had a great time at Nik's sick house partyin' sippin' more Red Bulls and want to go back like ASAP.

Thanksgiving brought a lot of travel time and fun in California. Instead of spending it with my family and the Merrill's, I decided to go over to Sacramento to visit the other side of the family. I figured I wouldn't get any shit about my long hair, my hat, not being clean shaven or not being married with G & G Harris and Dave & Russ, like I would at the Merrill's. Ha. Thanksgiving dinner at the RedHawk Casino just outside Sacramento was awesome! We didn't even have to clean anything up! It was really good to spend time with Mark, Kimmy and Delia on Friday night going bowling and having pizza.

December brought in a whole lotta Christmas cheer as we had pretty close to 17 Christmas parties or get togethers. Okay okay maybe not 17, but at least 16. :) The parties were great and the Christmas giving spirit was definitely in the air. My birthday also took place in December! On the 12th I turned 27! We spent a few hours in the temple for a sealing session and had a really fun dinner afterwards. The evening was just pretty chill and relaxing as Mr. & Mrs. Birdman & Hollywood were in attendance taking part in the new DJ Hero and the old Street Fighter II.

New Years Eve this year was spent at The Depot which a party in itself. Good music and fun with friends and the VIP booth (thanks to Cole and Con) entailed the night of jammin' out and quite a bit of Red Bull. Dancing, Partyin' and watching Pastrana jump the bay was so much fun. It all ended with some dinner at Beto's at 2. Oh man, my friends are hilare. Cole, Cam, Tessy, Casey, Tera, Alayna, Q and I were among the attendees.

The first week in January finally serenaded me on the slopes. Mineral Basin and the lovely white fluffiness sure brightened my day and winter season. Pulled pork sandwiches, rice krispy treats and Red Bull shots accompanied the snow-bound threesome, Big Mikey, Hollywood and D Murr. Many more fun times come as the slopes are covered in its beauty of pure white. Two times thus far in January is not enough seeing that there has been 3 Saturdays. Gotta get up there as much as possible to be able to deal with normal real life. The Dew Tour is coming up this weekend in Ogden and much partyin' will be done with, of course, lots and lots of Red Bull.

Autumn Time 09

Fall is finally here and many fun activities have happened as I prepare myself for the beloved snow season! Last Wednesday the 7th was spent at The 4frnt factory with my hommie Poze Pup. Some crazy dudes jumping over a bar and trying to land back on their skateboards was the highlight of the night...well...other than the Red Bull. Gettin me pretty excited for the snow to get here!

Friday the 9th was Allison's birthday party and yet another party that was made by the presence of Cole and I along with yep, you guessed it, Red Bull. Even though I could have DJ'd better than the DJ with my eyes closed and an iPod, it was still pretty chill and way fun to jam.

Summer 2 K OH 9

Summer 2 K OH 9

Summer started off with a shabang with a quick little trip to California in April. A day of training on the new Anajet printer, An Angels game and an incredible dinner at my favorite restaurant, ESPN Zone, we had ourselves a weekend.

The beginning of June brought the first trip to Powell. A quick little trip (due to an unfortunate summer semester of school) was a blast! Let the sun tan begin.

Near the end of July was yet another trip to the blessed Lake Powell. A little piece of Heaven dipped here on Earth. Hot weather and a major sunburn later, the main family Powell trip of the summer was complete.

The second weekend in August brought me to yes yet again another trip to Lake Powell. Wakeology Wakeboards invited Brad and I (representing Stitches Ink) to spend a weekend shooting a video for their upcoming debut video to be named at a later date. Although it was a wild adventure most of the time, we sure had a ton of fun. Hot chicks, good wakeboarders, lots of friends and a load of Red Bull completed our successful weekend.

The end of August brings us to school starting again where my list of "cool ways to commit suicide" continues. I decided after the first day of class that I would boycott for a week and head to Europe.

Septemeber brought a whole lotta new things into my view as I had the chance to visit England, France and Spain. We did a lot of sightseeing and "power traveling" as G Love refers to it as, as we toured the Western part of Europe. London was a very cool spot for sure. I wish I had some friends there that could show me around and just live the London lifestyle for a few weeks instead of hitting all of the tourist stuff. Maybe someday I can head back and have a sweet chill sesh with some dope peeps. France was not much to write home about in my opinion although the Eifel Tower and Disneyland Paris were pretty sick! (That's pretty much all we saw or cared to see there.) Spain is awesome! We had a great time there reuniting with old friends and making new ones as well. The Northern coast of Spain is gorgeous. I could seriously live there someday.

The end of September brought me to yet another trip to Lake Powell. Cole and I went down to film a commercial for Dub Nutrition along with Action Profiles and Wakeology Wakeboards for the weekend. More pretty girls in bikinis, a 78 foot houseboat, wakeboarding and surfing behind a 60 foot yacht compiled the list of activities accomplished. Oh and more Red Bull (maybe mixed with a little bit of Vodka, Cole) as well.

The beginning of October brings me to the first of many...hopefully, ski movie premiers. Casey AKA "Hollywood", Brad AKA "The Birdman, Brad man of birds" and yours truly AKA "D Murr" were in attendance and yes more Red Bull accompanied. Snow better get here soon or I'mma open up shop on y'all.
