Joy.

I figure you can't see any faces, really. So it's okay to post these. 

The title says it all, really. 

The Best Valentines Day

Do you ever have one of those moments where things are just perfect?

I had one yestday. 

I was alone in the back of a car, watching the sunset below the Great Salt Lake.

Listening to this song.

Nothing is perfect in my life (I think this is true for everyone), but that moment was perfect.

It was GREAT!

I decided something last year, and I've kept true to it this year.

Valentines is about love.

But why does it have to be romantic love?

So on valentines day I go out and do the things I love and go to the places I love.

Antelope Island is my most favorite place in the world. 

I hope your valentines day was filled with lovely things, and If not, I hope you can make next year better. 

:)

Buffalo.

There are some YouTube videos that I just can't get enough of.

Guy on a Buffalo is one of them. 

Episode one sets it up, but Episode 2 is by far the best! 

Enjoy. 

Sundance

I've been up to Sundance  once before.

Only once.

But ever since last night it's been twice!

CELEBRATE!!! 

Kyle, Nicole, Tim and I had a fabulous time.

I worked up a pizza debt, however, that caused some pretty fun moments to ensue.

I had to work off my debt by doing some pretty ridiculous things on the street which may or may not include:

*Making up and singing a song on the street corner

*Touching the bum of a Indian statue and having photos taken of it.

*Singing a not made-up song on another street corner

*etc.

I still owe him 2 dollars.

Courage

This post is gonna be a little different. 

I just had an argument with a close friend over the definition of courage. I said that without fear or a challenge to be faced courage is not there. He disagreed, using Christ and prophets as examples. 

I used the example that a person who is afraid of flying who gets on a plane is exercising courage. A person who is not afraid of flying who gets on a plane is not. That makes sense, right? I swear it does....

I suppose I feel a little bugged and my blog probably isn't the best place to be when I'm filled with this emotion. 

How can courage exist without it's opposite? 

I found these quotes:

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.  Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave.  ~Mark Twain,Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar, 1894 

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.  ~Ambrose Redmoon

Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.  ~C.S. Lewis

If I'm being a complete idiot let me know...and give me quotes or back up. 

Logical backup.

Please respond, because after that argument I just had I really feel like an idiot.  

Tim Sondrup

My friend Tim is a fabulous photographer. 

Super supportive friend too...

He's come to my last 2 shows!

He was also the photographer for my album cover.

He's also been the main person to take photos of me while I play music. 

I think you should check out some of his stuff on his blog.

Holy fabulous. 

He gots skills!!!

(I stole these photos from his blog...just in case you didn't click the link.

 I think the photo will convince you to go to his site.)

Apparently I like the name Chris.

People ask me quite frequently who my celebrity crush is. 

I rarely have an answer. 

I sometimes say Chris Thile because, well...who can resist a man who can play the mandolin like that?!

I think I may be the only one. 

But look!!! He likes dogs too!

And I also think he may be funny...

I have been told, however, that he doesn't count.

I guess he's not popular enough to be considered 'celebrity'. 

So...I guess I'll choose...that one guy that plays Thor. 

He has a nice beard.

And he looks kind in this photo. 

And his name is.....Chris Hemsworth

And he's Australian. 


Score!

Oh dear....

Bad news. 

He's married. 

(Actually...this is great news! Great news for him. But..well...read on.)

Are you allowed to have celebrity crushes on a married celebrity? 

I don't think so.

So my search for my celebrity crush continues....
