lovebug humbug.

I've never been a fan of Valentine's Day. I mean, I've usually had a significant other to share it with, but it's never really pulled at my heart like say, Christmas, or a birthday, or my favorite, 4th of July. I usually attribute this to the fact that I hate the color red (I know, odd right? but I'm working on it), hate roses (spent all of V-Day last year selling the blasted things- hence the sign), I'm not HUGE on chocolate, and I don't really have an appreciation for the 'heart' shape in general. I prefer angular, geometric shapes if you were wondering.

But regardless, I must say I am immensely grateful for my perma-valentine. He's awesome. And if I could pick anyone to be dis-interested in celebrating a not-so-relevant-to-myself holiday with, it'd be him.  So if anyone wins a prize for causing my Grinchy heart to grow a little bit toward this holiday, it's Andrew.

Last year when I was a bit down in the dumps, and craving to fulfill some of my maternal instincts, he oh so kindly let me adopt puppy number two...

And although said puppy turned out to be a HUGE adjustment (not unlike you human mothers with human babies out there), and even though the pup falls under the category of a "daddy's boy" ...I wouldn't change it for the world. I love that fat, shedding, farty Hippo of mine. And I thank boyfriend for speaking to MY heart, in ways that it loves, rather than feeding it the gamble chocolates. He's a keeper.

So now I share with you a glimpse of what melted my heart just 1 year ago this holiday, on the very day we brought our boy home.

Consider it my gift to you, this Valentine's Day. (;

Cheers!

Tarp Surfing.

This could solve my 'no ocean' problem. Then again, it's freezing outside and there's snow on the asphalt. Poo. Oh well, get a laugh from these 'serious tarpers'.

Thought of You.

Animation can be magical. And make you cry. And touch parts of your soul that you want to be touched.

This one does it.

One of Andrew's program instructors made this short, and it.is.beautiful. He's worked in the 'industry' as a story board artist for a long time and BYU snagged him up to teach a few years ago.. because he GETS.IT.

You will love it. Watch it a 100 times. So worth it.

And if dancing makes you feel things inside that you can't describe, then this is for you. Next time I see him I will have to tell him how truly amazing it is. You should too. Go leave him comments. Unreal.

Enjoy.

And THAT is one of the reasons why Andrew loves what he does.

We no Speak Americano.

I have Justin Bieber and his tweets to thank for this.
..and now so do you.

Swan-dive!

I know I said you should look these up, but I want to have them here for my own pleasure, so now you can enjoy them too. We have our friends Lauren & Jesse to thank for the exposure. Andrew and I are obsessed. This guy's amazing.

You might want to watch them five times to fully appreciate their hilariousness in it's entirety.
Seriously, enjoy.





And check it out, BYU did a Harold B. Lee Library video that is close in quality. I thought it was quite clever, and this kid has a TON of really good stand up bits from BYU's Humor U, you can YouTube those here.

Tillman

Tillman is the MAN!
He makes Andrew and I lust after a bulldog, and he makes me miss Roxy (my family's English bulldog)..

Anyway, check this out.
He'd fit RIGHT in with our little family. Bird would probably agree.
I love him.

Party Boys

So you might be aware of the fact that I can't STAND Miley Cyrus. Gasp! If this is news to your ears, and you love her.. I'm sorry for you. Just kidding. I still like you. (:
However, this video...

um, HILARIOUS.
Enjoy.

Can I Have Your Number?

Have I shared this with you before?
If so, sorry.. you'll have to endure it again (or not, your choice)..
It gets me every time and I was in the mood for some quality humor today.
hahhaaha.
Enjoy. (:

Number Ones

Music video DVD at Best Buy. $6.99, get 'em while they're hot! ..and on sale. (:
It was time I got my own collection. Although, yes.. I'm a little bummed out that 'Remember The Time', 'Leave Me Alone', and others aren't on this.. but it'll do for now! Now I just need to get my hands on The Wiz & Moonwalker. Andrew's never seen either. If you haven't seen those films, I suggest you do so!

Growing Up..

..I loved you. I even wore my 'Beat It' shirt everywhere that I could.
While dancing all my life, you have always been my idol.
Thanks for your INCREDIBLE music videos & the many albums that I will listen to so long as I live. (:

May you rest in peace.
Love, Your Fan..
Air

PS. Here's one of my favorite later songs that he produced..

#1. David/CHAD After Dentist

Ok, so you have possibly already seen this video.. the first one, that is. It's been quite popular these days; however, my father showed us a response to the "david after dentist" video, and it ROCKS MY WORLD! I almost pee my pants of laughter every time I watch it! ..sorry if you pee your pants. It's so worth it.

Anyway, here's David After Dentist for those of you who have never seen it (it would be required to watch in order to understand my number one video Chad After Dentist)..

You've been warned.. MUAHHAHAAHA..

#2. Scarlet Takes A Tumble

This one is a family favorite. The build up to the climax is just amazing. Not to mention the song that she's singing, is her own.. and my sister Abby knows it word for word, hand motions and all. Haha. Enjoy!

#3. Disturbia

So while I'm still in my 'lack of posting'-ness, I've decided to simply post my top 3 YouTube 'random Joe' videos. In my mind they are extremely hilarious, and I have watched them quite a few times over the last little while. We enjoy showing friends our funny finds. So here at number 3, is Disturbia.. haha. Enjoy.

(sorry it's only a link, she's disabled others from being able to upload it elsewhere.)

Mike n' Ikes

Oh man, I can't stop quoting this whole thing! It's totally been in my brain non stop so far today, so I decided to share this HELARIOUS MadTV skit with you. Pardon the creeper's french at first, but I think this is like the funniest thing ever. Thanks Linds for exposing me a while back. HAHAHA.
Enjoy..

I know, I know..

I already did one of these. But ACTUALLY this is one that my mother in law did with the many faces of Drew.. you'll see what I mean. When we saw this we practically peed our pants! Oh my boyfriend, he can be SO handsome! Haha.

Nick Pitera

Ok, so my friend Ciera posted this YouTube video on her Facebook.. and it had me FLOORED. So naturally I explored his (Nick Pitera) other YouTube videos and he has SO much to offer!

Andrew and I were TOTALLY amazed to say the least..
We spent at least an hour just listening to his stuff.

I pretty much dub him the coolest YouTube find EVER! (and that's saying a LOT.. Andrew finds a LOT of nifty videos) If you watch these, you will NOT be disappointed! SO INTENSE!
Thanks Ciera!!


...WOW

It's that time of year again..

This one's my favorite.. Enjoy! :)

I hope you laughed just as hard as I did!

L-Productions

In celebration of the return of Lance Johnson from Mexico (Glad to have you back Lanceypoo!), I would like to post one of his creations. He is a film student at BYU-I, and he made this music video the summer before he left. Just for kicks.

I bring to you.. "Move Along"
Staring Ashley (Monroe) Smith, & Arica (Monroe) Young
Also featuring Steve White
With a special guest appearance by Sheba

Enjoy the silliness!

Palin Rap

This is BY FAR my favorite skit of the 'SNL' political spoofs.
SHE kills me!!

Enjoy..

Lagoon

We had a blast, but what was probably best of all, is witnessed here on this short film shot from Drew's phone (thanks for capturing the moment for us Shelley!). It take's a couple seconds to get to the point, and doesn't do it full justice..
..let's just say, I've done a LOT of rides and free falls, but this tops them ALL!

I bring to you, Drew & I.. on the Sky Cruiser.



We had such a BLAST! When we got to the top I was up there thinking, 'oh crap! what did I get myself into!.. 3-2-1, and pull.. AHHHH!'

So rad, and worth the extra pay. A memory to last a lifetime for sure!
