JOURNEY!!!!

So saturday I had just got to work when my boss text me and asked if I could go down to the Journey concert to massage the band. I was so excited! Of course I said yes. I was so excited at work that I could hardly contain myself. But I had to cause I had a full day of work ahead of me. After work the first thing I did was went to the Reel Theater to tell bridget! I couldnt tell her over a text. It had to be in person! So as I sat waiting for the theater to slow down enough for her to talk to me I called travis and told him all about it! Bridget kept looking at me like you are crazy what do you have to tell me. I was like freaking out! So when she finally got a second I like yelled it at her! I couldnt hold it in anymore. Thankfully she can deal with my craziness and got super excited! Which made me even more excited. So thanks for being so excited bridget! Then of course I had to call all my family! It was exciting! So I wasnt nervous at all until I started getting dressed sunday morning. I got a belt and even tucked in my work shirt to look more professional. By the time if was time for me to leave I was so nervous I thought I was going to puke! But bridget talked me through it. lol! My boss met me at the taco bell arena where the concert was and the first thing we did was tour Journey's dressing room. It was crazy! Like drapes and mirrors everywhere with like Buddha things on them. I dont know if it was Buddha but some statue thing sitting like Buddha! There was candles lit everywhere too. It was crazy! Then they showed us to the room I'd be in. Which was totally ghetto. They like just pulled out all the chairs from the room they are stored in and hung some black drapes up and threw a rug down for me to put my table on. But it was ok because it was like right by Journey's dressing room! So we set up the table and got all ready. But only one of the band members were there the rest were still at the hotel. So they said we could just wander around. We went into the main area where Neal Schon was sitting just jammin on a guitar. It was awesome. Seriously he is my hero now. Like he was just talking to people but his fingers were going crazy and all you could hear was the his guitar blasting through all of the speakers! I was in awe! So we just walked around for a while. Then my boss had to leave. I was nervous to be alone but it turned out ok. Journey's manager came up to me to let me know that the band wouldnt be here till 8 so I was just gonna massage the crew members that wanted one. Then Neal Schon walked down the hall. The manager was like hold on and yelled "Neal do you want a massage?" He was like Oh yeah and started coming over. So he shook my hand and came into my room but then was like actually I dont have time. I have to get to the hotel. I was like dang it! lol. But he said thanks though and left. But I got to meet him lol. Anyways the rest of the night I just massaged the crew while I was waiting for Journey to get there. When they arrived it was crazy! Cause their dressing room was right by mine. The drummer Steve Smith passed me and smiled and nodded at me but I didnt do anything. I was like in shock lol! I just stood there. Rachelle says she can picture the face I made! ha ha. Then they all went in there room. Then the band Heart walked in. The lead guitar, bass guitar, and drummer walked passed me and were like oh can we get a massage. I was like heck yes lol but they were like we wish but they have us on a stricked schedule! lol. Anyways the band showed up late so I didnt get to massage them. But the whole thing was totally cool and super worth it! They told me I could just wander so I basically watched the whole heart concert and some of Journey's. The lady from heart has some pipes. Let me tell you that lady can sing! Right before Journey went on Steve Smith their drummer was walking the hall with drum sticks drumming on the wall. It was so crazy! He is so good! All I could think of is that my dad would have loved that. Anyways it was a really good experience! I didnt get any autographs or pictures but it was still totally worth it! So I took a few pictures. I'll explain eachone!

This was right after meeting Neal Schon! lol I was pretty happy!

This is the stage sideways!
This sign was on my door! My boss told me to grab it before I left so I did and its in my apartment now!

The ghetto little room they set me up in!

Next the Journey's door!

This is Steve Smith Jamming on the walls in the hall! I snuck a picture. Blow it up you can see it better. He's not the first guy leaning on the wall. He is the guy in the back playing on both walls! So so Cool!!!

My crazy life!

So I have been doing some crazy things lately! I dont have pictures of all of them! But the ones I do have pictures of are softball for FHE some late night AppleBee runs and other crazy things! This summer has been fun so far! I love softball but thought I had gottan old and fat. So I am glad we just played slow pitch. I forgot how easy it is to slam that ball ha ha. But harder to run after hitting it. Needless to say I forgot that some of my muscles existed. lol! But it was a fun night. Then we played basketball the same night. So I was really sore. I went down to eagle island with heather and her kids and rachelle. It was super fun. I usually dont like water cause I dont swim well but it was fun! So here are a few pictures that make me laugh.

Me and my Favorite Bridget!!! YUP!

Ode to a Moldy Mole!

It was a quarter to nine when I stepped in

I didn't want to be there is that a sin?

Cause I was at work on a Saturday

but I decided I should probably stay.

Sometimes my job can be a little gross

but I figured I had probably already seen the worst

until a man walked in around 80 years old

and the last thing I thought I'd see would be mold!

He seemed nice enough talking to me

I wish I knew what I was gonna see

I should have been prepared I've seen if before

but I wasn't prepared for what was in store.

As I undraped his back to start

what I saw stopped my heart

it was a cluster of moles lining his spine

It would have been ok but it was a special kind!

It was moldy moles what more can I say?

My eyes got big, I didn't want to stay.

But I just kept going cringing inside

I'll be honest I almost cried!

I finished the massage like I always do

the whole time wondering why I went to massage school?

Now you all know what I go through every day

So if you see a moldy mole stay away!!!

Breaking down walls!

So I had the craziest week ever! Well crazy and amazing! I think in like 72 hours I slept like 9 hours! Yeah crazy! But really good! I wrote a post a while ago about not being to open up to people when I know they are leaving soon. And thank you all for your advice. It's really helped alot. Anyways one of my friends parents were at girls camp this week and she had to work so she couldnt go. She didnt want to sleep at her parents a lone so she just came and stayed at my apartment with me and my roomate. Well we were talking one night just in the living room and it was so good. I have to really trust someone for me to open up at all. Anyways we talked till 6:30 in the morning! Bah lol. It was really good though. Anyways then the next night we had earwigs everywhere downstairs. It was actually really really freaky. They gross me out. They have like this nasty pincher things for like their tails ew its nasty. Anyways so instead of her sleeping on the couch with the earwigs she just slept in my little twin bed with me. lol. I didnt know how little my bed was ha ha. Anyways it was probably the best thing ever though. We were just up talking and talking and I dont know what my problem was. I just started blurting out all my feelings to this poor girl. Like things I have never told anyone. I just layed there talking and bawling for like an hour! It was crazy lol. Cause I really dont cry that much! And I was just like out of control. And usually when this happens the person I am talking to has no idea what to do. And then I feel really stupid for opening up at all. But this time was different. She didnt say sorry she didint try to fix my life she just simply hugged and listened! It was so amazing. I feel a lot better. I was talking to my bishop like a week ago and he brought some stuff up about marriage. I kind of expressed to him that I know I am almost 22 but I am not living my life wishing I was married. And that I wasnt sure if I was even ready. He assured me I was ready and mature enough but asked me why I thought that. So I kind of explained to him some things I felt like I need to work out before I got married. All of them being emotional reasons. So he challenged me to start working on them. I feel like this week was a huge part of that. I have a lot more to work on but I am slowly slowly breaking down the walls I have built and kept up for so long and it is an amazing feeling. So thank you to my friend you are amazing and I am thankful that you let me just spill my guts to you! Thank you so much!
Anyways the fourth of july was great! We drove up to twin so see heather and it was a lot of fun! Zach was going crazy with all his fireworks. It was so funny and awesome! Thanks Zach!

But I explained that her name was Bridget like a million times and then when we were leaving Syd said by midget ha ha! Anyways I love you guys!
