...california...day one...

day 1- it all started with a road trip with my good friend quinn. we took off from az after school on friday. we managed to make it less than 5 hours and on less than 3/4 of a tank of gas!!! along the way we blasted new tunes, discussed gospel principles, figured out that my cd player doesn't play songs with the f-bomb in them, and laughed a lot!

we arrived at my house in corona later that evening. shortly thereafter amy and tina joined us. we had nachos and bean dip. my mom had made us grilled cheese sandwiches and fresh chocolate chip cookies. now you know where i get it from. Amy and i had come up with this brillant idea to make posters for mike and angelina when we picked them up from the airport. the artwork can be seen in the album.

originally amy and i were going to dress up all crazy and try to embarrass them that way too, but that didn't happen. we also had big plans to dress up for wicked... but that didn't happen either due to the fact that amy's boss is a LAME-O! yes thats right a LAME-O and scheduled her to work even though he promised her the night off 2 months ago!

later, andy finally joined us from my hometown of walnut! we finished up the poster and started on our way to pick up the two from SLC. they touched down before we got there so i made up some lame white lie to get them to stay up stairs near the gate so we could still surprise them when they came down. they fell for it. so low and behold they were surprise.

quinn dropped to one knee and "proposed" to mike. mike ran to me ignoring quinn. lol. i screamed for them, but angelina just thought that i was some crazy waiting for someone else. they both had no idea it was for them! needless to say they loved it.

we took the festivities out to the parking lot and began the video tapping. we couldn't fit the resistance of the typical football entrance through the banners we made. so why not tape them. it took three attempts to finally bust through the posters. sad.

of course we headed straight to in-n-out and had a burger. there we had a competition with pepper chinnies or however you spell them. it made for some good video and good quotes. tina was the winner eating two. she was totally immune to the heat of the pepper. quinn and amy had the best reactions. i'll have to see if i can post the videos that go with these happenings.
