New baby



Ok so as everyone knows one of my favorite things in the whole world is playing the guitar. I have a growing guitar family.


I got my first guitar about 3 1/2 years ago. I got a yamaha starters package thing. It was a pretty nice guitar. I named it rose because the pickguard looked nice and rosey to me
 


 In 06 I got my first electric guitar. I spotted it one night at the guitar center when my mom took me there just for fun while we were waiting for nick to get out of band practice. I fell in love with it right when i saw it and i knew that i wanted it. I showed it to my mom and she loved it too. I got it for Christmas. That year is one of my favorite christmas memories. I named it curly after my mom.

In July of 07 my dad bought me this guitar. It was my first acoustic electric guitar. I loved it. It is probably my most played guitar of the three. It is named delilah because that is the first song i played on it.

This is the newest member of my family. I bought it yesterday, Saturday January 24 2009. I got some money for Christmas and I've been saving up some babysitting money so i decided that i wanted to buy a really nice, beautiful, perfect, acoustic guitar. I went on the internet and read up on quality of guitars. I picked out all the different types of wood, shapes, and colors that i wanted. I texted miriam and i asked her if she would come help me. I wanted a 3rd opinion about the perfect tone. My mom and I picked up miriam at about 3 o'clock and headed to the guitar center. We got there and headed straight to the acoustic barn. I love that place, its like heaven. It is so warm and it smells like wood. There was like 50 guitars all lined up on the wall they were all very beautiful. I went over to where my price range was. The first ones i saw were 3 taylors, and a martin. I had heard those were the most reliable acoustic brands. I played them all and loved their sounds. I played a few more epiphones but i always came back to those three. I eliminated one taylor so i was left with 2 taylors and 1 martin. I finally eliminated the martin and was left with the taylors. One of them had a very rich mellow tone and the other had a rich bright tone. I decided that i liked the bright one better. I also liked the way it looked better. I had made my final decision so i got the sales person. He was really nice and hooked me up with nice hard case. It has a really cool color of green on the inside as you can see. 

I love my new guitar. I am one happy camper right now. Thanks for coming with me miriam.

I have no idea what to name it. Leave a suggestion with your comment. Ill have a poll with my favorite names in a couple days so you can all vote. 

Here is a short video so you can understand how seriously awesome the tone is:)

This is a song called taxi driver by gym class heros.

Friday nights

Last night i hung out with my two besties. We started the night out at kaela's house and we made some really scary pancakes and popcorn while we tried to figure out plans for a movie. We chose benjamin button at 7:05. It was a pretty good movie, but it was really long we got out at like 10:30.

We all spent the night at my house and had some creative fun with my new camera. We got a glow stick and turned off all the lights in my bedroom and drew funny things in the air with them.

I guess mckaela tried to make me an angel but i look more like buzz lightyear:) 
We went out to the front yard and tried to draw somethings there with a cool background with scattered clouds and stuff but it didnt really work that well but i got this cool shot of all the street lights

mckaela drew a house
We decided it would be fun to pose by the window by our names.

these are the feet of my awesome footy pajamas that i got from target.. whenever miriam and kaela come over we always fight over who gets to wear them;)

Weather cant' happen in an egg..

okay me and my mom were kind of cracking up when i made this up tonight so here it goes.

Waking up in the morning sucks... You get out of your warm cozy bed to find that the air around you is freezing cold and you would rather be back some place warm and cozy but you know you can't go back to bed because you've got a full day ahead of you. 

 This must be what a bird feels like when it hatches out of its egg. For weeks they are inside the warm coziness of their egg protected and warmed by their momma. When they hatch they are all wet and nasty and must feel cold because they aren't used to the cold air.. after all weather can't happen in an egg.

At least we can go back to sleep when the day is over unlike poor baby birds :)

I know kinda random but whatever..

It was fun to spend time with them. Then we went to my dads house and to a party at my grandpa clarks house. I spent The rest of the week at my dads house.
