Pirate Production Picturesd

2010-10-31T02:05:00.000-07:00

the pirate commercial is due in all Larry H. Miller theaters on Nov. 11. Arg. Here are more production photos. We chartered 2 1700's tall ships to sail from the coast of Roach Harbor, WA through deception pass, to Cornet Bay. We were filming a pirate battle between the two ships, which meant we got to use the cannons. It was an amazing experience and the ship crews were awesome.

Here we are meeting the ships at Roache Harbor, it was a beautiful morning. Kind of surreal. Meeting up with 300 year old ships, crew in costume to film a pirate battle.

Felicia produced the entire production. She's the one who made it happen.

Hauling gear to the ships.

what a peaceful morning.

helping greg, the DP set up the camera.

felicia sure is happy about something, and greg sure is enjoying his coffee and naked chin.

We decided Skyler looked better without the wig...

alright greg, this has to be 4.5k, 2.934 fps with 240 degree shutter. Do you understand me?

trying to choreograph the first battle.

greg was tired of carriying around the 40lb camera on a rolling ship, so I decided to try and get some b-roll.

they started firing the extra cannon blasts in deception pass. I decided to shoot them in super slow motion, and ended up getting some awesome footage. Too bad it doesn't fit into the commercial edit.

Our movie star Skyler got a little sun after a hard day's work jumping over canons and dodging swords on a tall ship. we roped him into doing this against his will.....

it was such a great experience to live amongst 1700's sailors for a day on these beautiful ships!

watch for our pirate commercial for Spring Mobile in all Larry H. Miller theaters on Nov. 11th.

Happy Halloween yo.

"Cannon Ball" Shoot "preview"... aka the pictures wouldn't load!

2010-08-21T12:04:00.001-07:00

We recently returned from the Northern part of Washington State and Seattle from doing a film shoot. We and the crew drove up to Washington, chartered a couple of ships from the 1700's from an historical seaport, and had a little battle on the high seas.:) The spot is almost completely edited already. We're totally excited about it! Thanks to everyone involved!

(The freaking pictures wouldn't upload, except two. I'll upload more later! )

The Last Question

2010-08-15T11:38:00.000-07:00

Check out this short story written in 1956. It is truly ahead of its time.

What it is.

2010-07-05T14:59:00.000-07:00

Here are some things we've been up to.

The girls and I went to Moab for a weekend thing.

Neil, jimmy and I went to Moab for a little weekend thing too. We got Jimmy swimming and I think he likes it now!

I've failed to mention that my Neil's work is on the big screen! Have you seen it? Now playing at every Larry H Miller theater. Neil directed, edited, etc the 'silence your cell phone' ad played before each movie.

We're contracted to do a few more for Spring Mobile/Larry H Miller theaters. We're heavily involved in pre-production for the next one. We're headed to Washington at a historical seaport. More to come!

Old News...

2010-04-16T14:44:00.000-07:00

It's been a couple weeks since they've announced it but I wanted to say that we're excited for our friend John Nolan who has recently rejoined his old band, TAKING BACK SUNDAY! Congrats John and Camille on the next career move!

Neil is dying to direct their next music video! Hopefully he gets the chance!

Jealousy!

2010-04-10T19:15:00.000-07:00

Neil did the coolest dive a couple days ago while in the Virgin Islands. It's hard to be in Utah knowing he's doing THIS. I am totally jealous! What a detailed history of the shipwreck! I'm sure it felt so real to be swimming amongst the wreckage.

A lil update I guess.

2010-02-25T07:26:00.000-08:00

My friend John Nolan came on tour a few weeks back. He stayed at our house for a few days during the tour with his wife Camille, and another band called The Mansions. We had a grand old time with them, except for one thing. He made the conference call where Straylight Run officially broke up in my house. He was in the next room on the conference call and I suddenly felt responsible and wanted to run into the room and hang up the phone and scream, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING???? STRAYLIGHT RUN IS ONE OF THE BEST BANDS ON THE PLANET!! THIS IS WRONG!!!"

I didn't do that, but should have. John Nolan is now pursuing a solo career and I have faith it'll be successful. He left Taking Back Sunday and formed a better band, and hopefully his new endeavors will take him to greater heights. I was lucky to able to direct one of his music videos last October. It was recently released on AOL as video of the day. If you haven't gotten a chance to see it, you might want to take a look here.

Oh, one other thing regarding their stay. After the concert we were in my living room talking and hanging out when we heard the loudest bang on the ceiling I've ever heard. We ran around trying to figure out what it was but never could find an explanation. Maybe my house is haunted, or a bum is living in the attic.

I snapped this picture of my cute lady on a lazy Sunday. Gosh I love lazy Sundays.
We ran down to Las Vegas to win money. (We did) ($5) Here's Feli looking at the Bellagio fountains.
We also cruised down to the bahamas and went scuba diving. Such a good time, every time.

That's all.

Had a Good TIme in 2009!

2010-01-20T21:12:00.000-08:00

Before January is totally over, I just wanted to take one last look at 2009. These are our favorite moments/pictures of 2009. Can't wait to see what 2010 brings!

We gone and done stuff

2009-12-27T20:18:00.001-08:00

We made creepy faces at cameras.
We ran ships aground in the Bahamas.
We had a great christmas in the new house.
We made a silly commercial for the Larry H. Miller theaters.

We smiled and schtuff.

Peace and Love everybody. Have a good and safe New Year! Cheers.

The next film resume builder... She's an AMAZING musician! If you've heard Damien Rice you've heard her.

John Nolan Shoot went amazing!

2009-10-30T10:19:00.000-07:00

The set we built. It was fun.
John Nolan flying.
Neil trying to direct.
17 hour shoots can take a lot out of you. But we made it through! We'd say we're about 75% done with post production and should be ready in a couple of weeks.

JOHN NOLAN- STRAYLIGHT RUN

2009-10-07T18:00:00.000-07:00

Our little Larson family business is proud to announce the next music video project........ John Nolan from Straylight Run!- you may know him as one of the originals from Taking Back Sunday all you Rockers out there. One week from today will be shooting day, so with little time to prepare Neil is busting his bum to get those ducks in a row. I'll post pictures later!

PUPPY LOVE!

2009-09-07T21:49:00.001-07:00

Announcing the newest LARSON!!! We are so head over heels for this lil' pooch! I told Neil one day that I needed a puppy to keep me company while he was gone on movie shoots and I deserve it cuz he always comes home with expensive computers, motorcycles and camera stuff. He couldn't dispute that so here we are with a pup! It's turned out to be a really fun experience so far. We've had him for a week and potty training is coming along great! He's 8 weeks now and still having accidents but he knows to go potty in the back yard now in stead of just playing with the weeds.

I would have never guessed we would be pet people but now we're the weirdos that are obsessed.We call each other mommy and daddy now.. how annoying is that? haha! OH! and we named him Jimmy. It was the only thing he answered to... and Kayley, yes that was you who came up with that.

These pictures are from our hike to elephant rock on Saturday. He hiked all the way up and he slept the whole way down while Neil held him like a baby. So cute! We love our spunky puppy!

Final thoughts on Ace Enders project and the Premiere

2009-08-24T20:58:00.000-07:00

Neil's last music video for Ace Enders', "When I HIT the GROUND" premiered about a week ago on Shockhound.com. It's been an interesting experience to be a part of this project. I was involved with pre-production and the actual filming days and that was the easy part! This whole project came about because of Neil's long term fanaticism with the band, The Early November. The Early November has since broken up and the lead singer and bass guitarist along with a new guitarist and drummer have become ACE ENDERS AND A MILLION DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Neil wanted to do their music video and established a relationship with band's manager and one thing lead to another.. blah blah blah. Neil wrote up a treatment (script for music videos) that was rejected by the band, but I LOVED the treatment, it was so creative, artistic, and intriguing. The band had a different agenda. Their vision was more about sending a message to their audience and relevance was their priority, so of course the world's economic crisis was the subject. Kudos to Ace! Trying to make a difference in the world and send his message. Poor Neil had to work with a complex story that HAD to be split screen and HAD to be and easily followed story. Freaking IMPOSSIBLE task! He spent every waking moment of every day, stayed up way LATE every night and edited the crap out of this video. After all the pain and horror I think he came out on top. After it premiered on shockhound.com, we quickly realized this video was under public scrutiny! Blogs and forums filled with people's opinions and honest they were! It's been fun and a great learning experience to see people's good and bad comments about it. We think for the most part people liked it, and the bad comments? haha! they're kinda funny and definitely make us think.

Posted here is the shockhound link and then one of the forums we enjoyed called absolutepunk.com. Feel free to leave comments :).

Click here for the Shockhound.com premiere of Neil's video

Click here for absolutepunk.com's forum for Neil's video

We both really enjoyed this project and the crew, cast and band were just a dream to work with. We're grateful for what we learned and the friendships we gained! Now moving forward to the next project that's awaiting us (and when I say "us" I mean Neil)!

2009-08-16T00:14:00.000-07:00

The last time we saw this guy was on our wedding day a couple years ago. Neil's little bro Bryce comes home from his mission on Tuesday! We're so excited!

I think it's time again...

2009-08-15T21:29:00.000-07:00

I have the bug to travel again! I think it's about time we go on a trip. The past 10 days or so Neil's been gone on a movie shoot and I haven't seen him at all. That might be part of the reason why I want to go on vacation. I love vacations cuz I get to spend every moment with Neil! and I love seeing new places. I watch this little clip to remember how bad it sucks to get up and go to work every morning. I want to sleep late in this room.....

2009-07-25T15:32:00.000-07:00

This a cute little picture of Neil looking hard-core. That's a face of a man who will protect his wifey at all costs, right? Or defend Israel.

2 YEARS yo!

2009-07-20T19:28:00.001-07:00

Two years now for Neil and I, and it's me (Felicia) writing this, and it honestly feels like I've been married to this guy for centuries! I think it's because we've done so much! I love this kid with all my heart and I'm so happy to be with him. He's such a good little buddy to hang out with all the time and deal with my 4 year old-ish-ness. It's kinda cool what we've done in 2 years, well it is to me, so let me bore you with our dreams, accomplishments and goals. Before you ask when we're going to have kids, we have to visit every continent (maybe not Antarctica) and we've only hit up 2 so far (with 10 countries). We've bought a house, that's kinda a milestone to us, but the whole mortgage thing is a doosie! We're still heavily involved in film making and Neil somehow got me more interested in film making and watching than I ever thought I would be. We love it! uh-oh... i think i've ran out of dreams, accomplishments and goals.. haha! that was ambitious. Anyway, I sure do love that Neil, he's a funny cuss and I'm excited to hang out with him FOrEVeR! Wish us luck! ;)

You're-a-peein' trip

2009-06-01T08:53:00.000-07:00

Well, the big day arrived so my father Garold Larson Sr. drove us to the airport. Looks like Feli had a little too much um....hot chocolate?
Ah, Big Ben. We made it to London and found sunshine and beautiful weather. We had some serious jet-lag.
Buckingham Palace.........we got the chance to have dinner with the queen. We had swine.
London bridges falling down. I was surprised how bright blue the paint was. Oh, Feli wants you all to notice that her gum matches her summer scarf.
Here we are at Windsor Castle. It's Feli's favorite place and I could tell why. The castle was HUGE and amazing in every way. The views were incredible and we even got to see the changing of the guard. Well, we watched it for like 5 seconds and got bored. Just a bunch of dudes dressed up in silly outfits putting on a show for the tourists.
Yeah......it's kinda like that.
While we were waiting to get into the palace of versailles I got some baguettes. Oh yeah, now we're in France. The chunnel thing was cool.
So this palace was too amazing to describe. Go there and see for yourself. They just don't build 'em like they used to.
Playing in the gardens.
Yes, this is how we play. So I would hate to do the yard work here.
Just hanging out downtown Paris.
We found Mary.

This little known landmark in paris was WAY bigger than I pictured. Seriously, picture it and times it by 10, then subtract 4.5 and that's about how big it is.

Here's the train we snuck onto, it was a 16 hour train ride to Rome from Paris. I slept for like 10 hours of it, feli slept for like half an hour of it. She no likey that train.
Oh yeah, Notre dame. Freaking awesome. Met this little deformed guy with a hunchback. What's the deal with that?
Ahhh, Italy. What a cool happenin' place. This is inside the Vatican. St. Peter's Basilica was amazing. All the popes are buried there. It's also HUGE. The church office building in Salt Lake could fit INSIDE. Yeah, it was HUGE and amazing and huge and so cool and awesome and sweet. You should go. It's alright.
I am Gladiator. This was a highlight. Everyone says it's smaller than you would think, but I still think it's pretty huge.
Pantheon. Also very awesome.
View from our hotel in Tremezzo Italy, off of Lake Como. It was a nice place.
Lake Como.
This is Feli in Milan Italy heading out to the plane. We were flying to Norway. Ask us about it sometime, it was not easy to get on this flight. We had to sell our souls and kill 2 people just to get on this stupid plane. Feli got her soul back but I don't think I ever will.
My private jet.
Here we were, in Sweden. This is just after we got off the boat from Norway to Sweden. It was past midnight and the sun was still setting. Pretty cool.
Hanging out with our good friend Oscar in Stockholm. We got dinner and ate ice cream. We sat by the ocean and watched the sun set. It took freaking forever.
The last night we stayed at my good friend Viktor's house. He had just gotten home from a bike race in France, so it was good we got to play.

We had a lot of fun, and saw some amazing things. Our lives are now fulfilled and cultured bla bla bla bla. Love you all!

ACE ENDERS

2009-05-23T17:13:00.000-07:00

Shot the Ace Enders music video last weekend. It was nuts as ever. In 2 days we had 7 locations, a car wreck scene, hospital scenes, performance scenes, driving scenes, and a whole lot of other stuff. To me the best part of the shoot was hanging out with the band. It's a band that I've loved for a loooooong time and it was pretty sweet getting to know them personally. Oh, the other cool part was flipping my brothers car onto its side. I was a great weekend and am heavily into post production.

Here's a framegrab:

Oh yeah, Feli and I are in Paris right now. Italy tomorrow. More on that later.

The neXt project

2009-05-03T19:48:00.000-07:00

Less than 2 weeks to prepare for Ace Enders music video shoot. I am getting the chance to direct it. He's been my favorite artist for the past 6 years or so, I'm super stoked. His band is flying to Salt Lake City and I'm busy gathering a crew to produce the best possible video. Woohoo! Check him out!!

May is going to be a busy month for us Larsons. Wish us luck!

A Tribute to Our Great Friends

2009-04-11T20:57:00.000-07:00

Nothing like a night of dying easter eggs and cleaning out our pores.
Weirdo ladies.
Sundance Film Festival.
Mourning our past relationships. :)

The ladies chilling.

DINNER!
Gardener Village
???
Wedding Bells.
My Birthday!

Alright, so most people know that Gary and I have been friends for our whole lives. I moved into his neighborhood when I was 2 years old, and we've been friends ever since. 22 years and counting.

We've worked at many of the same jobs either gas piping, painting cars or delivering mattresses. Well, I was going to go into more detail about the things we've done together, but when I started thinking about it, I think it would be easier to name the things we HAVEN'T done together. Hmmm, okay. I can't think of anything we haven't done together either. I mean, we even share a first name! (my first name is Gary)

Anywho, Gary met this nice young lady named Marci one time. In fact, I was there when they first met. When things started clicking between Gary and Marci we knew Marci was going to be friends with Feli and I for life. Poor Marci didn't really have a choice in the matter. I mean, Gary lived right next to me, and we did pretty much everything together and no female was going to stop us.

Marci has been an awesome sport, putting up with Gary and I. When the weekends roll around, the question isn't "Do you guys wanna do something?" It's more like, "So, what are we doing this weekend?"

Gary and Marci are about to ruin everything and buy a house and be 20 MINUTES AWAY! WHAT? I would be lying if I said I don't feel a little betrayed. If I said I'm not a little hurt. I mean seriously. They're walking straight out of our lives and Feli and I feel helpless.

I just wanted to post a small tribute to our great friendship with the Fifields.

Weekend in LA

2009-03-22T18:33:00.000-07:00

Just got back from a long drive home from L.A. It was kinda fun to go on a lil' weekend road trip. We took a little gander of New York Film Academy, played on the beach, and hung out with Adam and Ashley. Man! That's a freaking long drive though, our bums are sore from sitting that long.

Forever!

2009-03-17T19:55:00.000-07:00

The car is a 1916 Chandler.

I'm very proud of Mr. Neil and his crazy dedication to his dreams. He is so devoted and since I've known him I just see his focus and enthusiasm grow exponentially. He always has an idea formulating or a project in the works.

The past couple months he's put so much time, sweat, blood, agony and pleasure into a music video for a band called HEART PHARMACY. Pictures and comments have been floating around facebook so I'm not going to post them. Hopefully it will only be in Post Production for another month or so and then can see the finished project!

I'm excited to see where his dreams take him and I want to be supportive and helpful the whole way!

Also, I'm very excited to meet my new nephew who was born on Saturday! Congrats Nate and Erika! It's their 3rd kid! I can't believe it! Now their family is getting pretty big: Jenna, Carter and now LOGAN. YAY!

Yeah, I was getting fat

2009-03-05T16:59:00.001-08:00

So, weight gain is something that I never had a problem with before. I could eat loads of junk and I always remained the scrawny lurp. After the whole marriage thing happened I noticed that I started getting a little flab around my belly. "Hm, that's weird." I would often think to myself.

After the holidays I decided if I didn't nip it in the bud it would just get harder to lose the weight I was gaining, and I really don't ever want to be out of shape. I love doing outside things too much. My diet began.

I started off with a cleanse.......where I didn't eat a single thing for 7 days. I just drank orange juice and water. That was an interesting experiment and I more or less wanted to test my self control. I just wanted to see if I could do it. I lost a bunch of weight. People told me that I would put all the weight back on, so I decided to prove them wrong.

What I've been doing since is simple. I follow the "Eat less, move more" rule. I watch what I eat and I go to the gym a lot. Since new years I've completely cut soda from my diet. I've been doing a lot of swimming and running. I am now training for a triathlon.

I'm no weight loss expert, and most people are in much better condition than I am, but I was excited to see the Before/After results. It seems if you really put your mind to it you can do it.

Next up: Getting those flabby pecs a little larger. Wish me luck, I'm off to the gym.

Violent Projectile Vomitting

2009-03-02T05:49:00.000-08:00

.....gross, right? and now it's me barfing my brains out. I hate this.

The worst adventure yet!

2009-02-28T17:06:00.000-08:00

Last night Neil and I jumped in the car and headed for L.A. for some film school scouting. Because we had to wait for me to get off work, it was a late start and we stopped in Mesquite for a night. We got a crappy hotel room and crashed around 11:30 pm. Come 1:30 this morning, Neil was in that nasty bathroom barfing his brains out. He didn't stop until noon today. Obviously, we just jumped in the car and headed back North home to SLC. Neil was too sick to drive his Subaru so I took the wheel. The only problem is, I must have missed the day when they taught "DRIVING A STICK SHIFT!" Neil was passed out in the passenger seat and I was sweating bullets at the wheel trying to figure out that dang clutch! I would wake him up to shift for me, and coming into SLC-- YEAH! i almost killed us. Somebody was watching out for us because I'm sitting in the comfort of our little apartment now. I'm glad we're home! Blah!

My great wife

2009-02-16T12:57:00.000-08:00

Everyone who knows Felicia knows how sweet she is. There is just something about her that can't be explained. I've been thinking about all the sweet things she does for me and the list goes on and on. Here are some of the things that make felicia the best person to live with.

-She wakes me up every morning with a kiss and a huge smile.

-When she gets excited she'll hug you and wiggle her whole body. I love the "excited wiggles"

-She just breaks out at random times and dances.

-When she's really tired she'll go around the house on all fours like a dog. All the time I'll feel something hitting my legs and when I look down it's Feli's head.

-She falls asleep every time we watch a movie and I carry her to bed.

-When it's a really good movie and I ask her not to fall asleep because I want her to see it, she stays awake.

-She calls me at work just to tell me she loves me.

-Every night before we go to sleep she says, "You're a monkey and I'm a kitty and we're in love". Weird I know.

Feli is really the perfect wife and I love her.

LOVIN' THE SKI SEASON!

2009-01-05T14:49:00.000-08:00

We're lovin' the snow and Neil's lovin' his new skis! So far we've had a happy, healthy ski season and I hope we can make it to spring with no broken legs.

The swedes went on a mini vacation to california for a week so Neil and I are enjoying the peace and quiet. Suddenly our little 2 bedroom apt seems so big and roomy! It's nice to have a little break but we kinda miss them too!

Oh the crazy swedes

2008-12-28T23:30:00.000-08:00

So, we have 6 swedes living with us in our little apartment. Not for one week, or two, or three weeks. FIVE weeks we get to enjoy their company. It's actually already been three crazy weeks full of craziness. Don't get me wrong, we've enjoyed having them around. We're just not used to such a busy household. They were here for christmas. That was fun. Here are some pics.

Here's feli opening a present while sitting on the arm of a couch. She's wearing grey sweatpants and a red shirt. That present was a red hoodie from the swedes. it was cute.
this is the youngest swede residing at our home. His name is Filip and we call him mr. aggressive. he is three and can do pull-ups by himself. bet you couldn't do pull-ups at 3 yrs.
christmas morning with some naked swedish children. you might notice the swedish ski magazine on the coffee table. it's a good one with an article about a swedish rapper who is an avid skier. his name is petter. yes, with two t's.
notice the air mattress sitting up by the wall. that's for oscar. he gets to sleep in the living room at night. he says it gets cold. he started wearing a beanie to bed.
we took a small trip up to jackson hole to ski. the new tram is great, but it was -10 degrees at the top. my mustache froze.

Cabo is Good

2008-12-20T21:46:00.000-08:00

Here we are at lovers beach. It was pretty rad. This particular beach is about the size of the average dining room, yeah.... that small. That's a tunnel going from the sea of Cortez to the pacific. The ocean would come crashing through from both sides and meet in the middle. It was nuts. I (neil) tried to go through it but I got smashed with waves over my head and was scared I'd drown, so I came back out. The ocean was rising so we booked it out of there.
Getting ready to go to dinner so we got all sorts of pimped out. Felicia and her smokin purple dress. Does it get any better? I borrowed the glasses from my strange brother. I think they make me look hip and trendy.
The one and only fellis mcguillis. Isn't she grrrrreat?
Feli and I went scuba diving. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever done and feli would probably agree. We saw millions of fish and underwater sand dunes. We went down about 85 feet. That's a lot of water above us. I wish I had an underwater camera, but I think you just have to do it to know how great it is.
And finally here's me on my treasured rip-stick. If you haven't tried one of these you gots to try it. It feels like snowboarding/surfing/skateboarding and getting spanked. It's tricky to learn, but so worth it. Gary Fifield and I often go for night rides around the neighborhood.

Neil and Felicia Scrooge

2008-12-07T12:00:00.000-08:00

I can't believe it's Christmas time! Neil and I are not being very festive. It's actually starting to make me sad! We don't even have a Christmas tree! We are so busy this month, we're finding it hard to even find some time to sleep. Thank goodness we're leaving for Cabo San Lucas tomorrow! I think we're both excited for some warm weather, relaxation, fun with the Larson family, and a bit of scuba. As soon as we get back we have our six swedish guest coming to stay with us for 5 weeks or so. We're super excited to spend some time with them and ski our hearts out!

Last night we went on the Polar Express with the Johnson side. Bridger came down with something and was super sick. I felt so bad for him! We still had a ton of fun and it helped get us in the Christmas spirit a little more. Kayley and I had to get up in front of everyone and sing Jingle Bells which was super embarrassing. So here are some pics from that and hopefully we'll come home with some cool adventures to talk about from Mexico.

It is Finished

2008-11-25T17:30:00.000-08:00

Don't we look GREAT?

After many long drives to Springville, many late nights in a cold nasty pool and a couple dives in an ancient hole, we finally got our scuba certifications. Don't get me wrong, we had a blast doing it, but it's nice to be done. We can't wait to go scuba diving in Cabo in a couple weeks.

Procrastination Post

This is my procrastination in action. I'm supposed to be studying for a math test right now. We had a fun weekend so maybe I'll blog about that. On Friday I went to The DoDo down town salt lake with some friends (Matthew, JoJo, Alex, Jona, Robin and Jessy). I highly recommend The DoDo, it's good stuff and get dessert while you're there. Saturday we went to Gardner Village with the Gary and Marci (cute picture of Gary and Marci, eh?) and then we went to Garrett and Katie's wedding. Sunday was my baby nephew's third birthday party. Holy Crap! He's getting so old. Well actually Hilary and I think he should be like 5 by now but it's fine by me if he takes his sweet time growing up! :) I love Bridger! He's seriously my one true love! If Bridger and Neil were falling off a cliff at the same time and I had to save one, it would be Bridgey hands down! haha! just kidding, I would use my super woman powers and save both of my loves. I guess I have 2 true loves in this world. I love you Neil and Bridger!

Ok I'll get my homework done!

SCUBA!!!!

2008-10-29T23:12:00.000-07:00

On Monday Neil and I started scuba classes to get certified. Since we've known each other we've always talked about it and with an upcoming trip down to Cabo, it seemed like a great time so we took the plunge. Classes are really fun. They're on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-11 pm. We drive all the way down to Springville to a quaint little dive shop called, SCUBA TED'S.

For Neil it seems to come super natural. I struggle a bit with equalizing, i think I might be a little more sensitive cuz my ears just kill at only 8 feet down and it takes a lot of equalizing and a gradual pace to get comfortable. Other than that it's fun and exciting and hopefully we can go on some awesome dives in the future. I'll keep ya updated on how things go and let you know if my lungs explode or i get decompression sickness.

Father, Forgive Me

That's the name of the new movie I've been helping with. I've been gone pretty much for the past 4 days straight. It's a western movie with guns, horses and outlaws. It was super fun to help make. Feli and Kayley came out to visit me on set. It was so nice to see them. It was crazy shooting so much for 4 days. I can't imagine doing a real movie where you shoot everyday for 4 or 5 months. Oh, and we shot in an old saloon with tons of money stapled to the ceiling. There must have been a couple grand.

Why did I start a BLOG???

You Have Dumb Face

2008-10-15T09:58:00.000-07:00

So, leave it to the Larson family to make stupid pictures with stupid faces. We took these pictures on Sunday and to us it just kept getting funnier and funnier. We were all sitting in a circle laughing so hard we were almost crying.

I'm not a Witch

2008-10-13T10:12:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I was asked to help make a movie about a witch who gets mugged, and then what she does to get revenge. It's a fun story, we shot it in 3 days and froze to death because we shot in the middle of the night in the mountains. It was a lot of fun though.

To where it all began!

Our first adventure: (taken from the journal of Neil... sorry babe!)

March 19, 2007

" I got a text from the one and only Felicia Johnson, the chick I asked out at the bank a couple of weeks ago... We went on our first date, ate at Mimis Cafe, she had salmon and I had the chewbacca sandwich. I already knew i liked her a lot just at the dinner, the way she smiled and laughed... Then we went to Target and I bought a gallon of water but I wouldn't tell her why. She was so curious. We drove way out to Antelope Island and she kept saying, 'you're going to kill me aren't you?' We lit off a bunch of illegal fireworks, then snuck through the gate and took a walk on the causeway. Well, 5 Sheriffs came to see who was doing fireworks. We hid from them for a while, but [eventually] had to come out of hiding. I guess it was a class B misdemenor and a $1000 fine. They let us off luckily. It was fun... we had the best first date of all time."

OH! the good old days when we were young and foolish. Man, that seems like forever ago but when i look at the date it was written I can't believe we've only been together that long. We grew up just blocks away from each other and never met until November of 2006. I'm so glad we did, Neil's completely spiced up my life and I don't think anyone in the world could make me feel the way he does! I promise there isn't a boring day that goes by living with the Neil. What a guy! ;)
