Nini & Deek

Find of the Year

Dear Diary,

A little girl left this gem at T-Mobile.

Jackpot.

Love,

Deek

Fast & Furious

2010-08-31T11:41:00.001-07:00

Nini saw Fast & Furious and was so inspired by its deep message and inspiring storyline that she lowered her car. Instead of using lowering springs she just decided to use a gratuitous amount of beverages from CostCo. Same effect....

Ok, I know I know, it has been over a year since I last posted but hey Im doing it now. A lot has happened since we last posted. My oldest sister and her family just moved to LA so hopefully we will be able to visit them soon. My brother and his wife are expecting their 3rd bebe, and my other sis just got married. So our summer has gone by way to fast to say the least. Me and Deek just celebrated our one year anniversary a couple weeks ago. It has truly been the best year of my life. Im so grateful that I get to spend everyday with my best friend. I love him so much it should be illegal. Anyway, so for that weekend we went to Tiburon for dinner, FYI the best restaurant EVER, we sat on their patio while this guy played the guitar and sang, he was so good. The next day we went up to Deeks family cabin with his mom and Barry and floated down the river and played some cards, of course. Then went to dinner with his dad, Kristal, Ambrie and Fletch, the we went up to the Alaskan Inn. Seriously the best weekend.

This summer we got to go on some way fun trips, we went to Zion with Deeks family, Bear Lake with my family a few times, the Uintas with our friends The Bells, and plenty of little day trips.

Deek still works at T-mobile, and I just got a job at Alvey Media Group, I'm just the receptionist but hey its a job, but i love it. So life is going better then we ever could have imagined, hopefully the next time I write wont be in a year.

Gettin Played

2009-08-27T08:56:00.001-07:00

We went to the Sundance Theater to watch the play "Fantastiks" last
week. It was eventful to quite eventful. A flock of deerin grazes just
behind us in the field. Nicole "misplaced" my wallet. We didn't
realize until the end of the play when I realized that the
announcement for "Daniel Swep" to come to the concessions booth was
actually me... How they confused Daniel and Derrik, Ill never know. We
showed up a bit late so we had a pretty crappy viewing area. Then my
chair broke. Then I saw a satelittle and a shooting star. So that was
cool. Here is a pictorial of us with our hot cocoa that hit the spot.
Viva Sundance!

2009-08-16T21:07:00.001-07:00

The "Skinner" turned 222 today. This is why Toyota is so legit. When
she turns 300 we're having a keggar at Avon!

2009-08-16T21:05:00.001-07:00

Jesse and Marlene got us these romance novel fridge magnets as a
wedding gift.

We just got back from a family party and I hear Nicole giggling in the
kitchen. Behold her creation...

¡Vamos al MeHico!

Off to the Honeymoon!

Directions

2009-07-26T17:34:00.000-07:00

You can get to the reception from a few different roads. From either direction, there should be signs, balloons, and or clowns for you to follow. Mapquest also helps. Google maps isn't accurate, but Google is still awesome.

If you are coming from North Ogden:

Drive over the divide/pass and into the valley until you get to 3500 E. It is the only stop sign you will encounter as you stay on the road from North Ogden. Turn right at 3500 E. Follow the road for about 2 miles. The road will gradually turn to the left. Once the road is heading due East, the reception will be about 1/2 - 1 mile down the road on the left side. Look for the tall trees lining the driveway and the house set off the road.

If you are coming from Ogden:

Get on 12th street and head East. This road will take you directly up Ogden Canyon. Follow the signs to Wolf Mountain Ski Resort. Once out of the canyon you will see Pineview Dam. On the west side of the dam you want to take a left at UT-158. Stay left at the fork in the road. Turn left once you reach the 4-way stop. Follow this road for about 4 miles. Our house will be on the right side.

If you are coming from Mountain Green/UT-84:

Take the Mountain Green exit from the East or West, depending on where you are coming from. Follow the signs that direct you to Snowbasin and Powder Mountain. You will be directed to Trappers loop which takes you into the Valley. Once over Trappers Loop, turn left at UT-39 (900 E.) Turn right on UT-158 which is at the West end of the dam. Stay left at the fork in the road. Turn left once you reach the 4-way stop. Follow this road for about 4 miles. Our house will be on the right side.

Hopefully these directions help and we'll see you there!

Bridals + Groomals = Broomals

2009-07-14T14:07:00.000-07:00

We took our Bridals and Groomals last night at the SLC Temple and the Peace Gardens. Brooke, the photographer, posted this jem as a sneak preview later that night. Two words: awe some.

Fuel

2009-07-12T15:04:00.000-07:00

In-N-Out is awesome. If you say you don't like it you're a liar. You
just want to seem unique and different but when it comes down to it,
you're just a liar.

Too Hot For The Hot Tub

The only thing we smoke is Salmon.

Boardwalk & Park Place

2009-07-11T20:43:00.000-07:00

We just logged about 3 miles on the boardwalk. Best place to people
watch ever. Honorable mentions: card man, jugs, handstand skating old
man, the brazilians, greased up deaf girl, and many others who weren't
awesome enough to make the blog's honorable mention.

Homey doing the skateboard handstand was at least 65 years old making
the youngn's look bad.

Nate got to bust out his portugese on the brazilian hottie (mainly hot
because she was carrying a surfboard) and her family.

Also not to forget, we talked Miker into chatting up some hotties
earlier today on the beach. Yeah, they were 15. Awkward.

SPF 0

2009-07-11T20:30:00.000-07:00

You may not be able to see in the pic but I have a twoface sunburn/tan
from falling asleep on the beach. Oops.

Bruticus Maximus

2009-07-11T20:28:00.000-07:00

We jammed out at the baller version of the Flowrider on Mission Beach.
We chilled with our new friends Kami, Dex, and Chris, who manage
properties all over the world and want to hook us up next time we come
back so we can actually shower and have a place to sleep. We've been
making friends all weekend. Last night we got hooked up with a fire
pit, smores, hot dogs and condiments, birthday cake, and lighter
fluid. It's just how we do.

Spec Protec

2009-07-11T16:03:00.000-07:00

Jared had a simple problem of his sweaty brows dripping sweat into his
badazz specs. This is his simple solution.

Everyone thought he was a terrorist.

Sun Protection

2009-07-11T16:00:00.000-07:00

This is why you have someone else apply sunscreen to your back...

Yeah, and this is only from one day.

Rolling Comfort

2009-07-11T08:27:00.000-07:00

It's like therolling massagers and Brookstone, except the whole bed
rolls...

2009-07-11T08:26:00.001-07:00

Nate, Bell, and I snuggled right here with natures dryer doin work on
our schwag!

5 Start Hotel

2009-07-11T08:23:00.000-07:00

The campground was full so we set up camp at the best most happy place
ever, The Encinita Stake Center. The one place we couldn't really get
crap. Our hi bishop, here are our recommends... Boom!, free camping.

Mike & Ike set up their hammocks between the handrail and the
lightpost. The sprinklers came on right when they went to bed but for
only a few minutes. The temporarily relocated then went back to the
front line. The sprinklers came back on in the middle of the night,
but it was a different battle. Mike didn't even move. He tougher it
out and got soaked in the name of hanging comfort. Either the spirit
guided Ike, or maybe his confused unconscience, to the curb by our
sleeping bags. We woke up in the morning to Ike laying on the concrete
with a sheet over him and being genuinely confused and kindof scared
about how he got there.

We all slept surprisingly well and got a nice dose of the spiritual
blessing while loitering on church grounds. It's good to know our
tithing has basically earning permanent emergency camp sites in time
of need and sleepiness.

Greasy & Surfy

2009-07-10T19:18:00.000-07:00

16 Passenger Van
8 Homeys
Mad Luggage
And 4 Surfboards jammed in between windows and bench seats.

Awesome.

Heaven

2009-07-10T19:10:00.001-07:00

After I basically pulled an all-nighter minus two hours of bumpy
sleep, I feel surprisingly awesome today.

After driving around looking for somewhere to camp (no dice), we
rented some surfboards and mounted up on the beach in Carlsbad.
Perhaps the most relaxing, chill day in the history of the beach.

Miker Pantone wins the award for determination and beatings given by
waves.

We're just headed out from Ralph's going to Moonlight beesh to make s
fire to cook our pre-prepared Cilantro Lime marinated Salmon
accompanied by a light but filling ceasar's salad. Thanks and props go
to Lindzi Bell "LBZ", the crew mom. Without her we'd propably be
malnurished with myself facedowb in a gutter due to a sugar-induced
coma. Thanks for keeping me alive Lindz!

Tonight we're going to sleep wherever we can rest our bodies without
being arrested, raped, mugged, or raped. Most likely a church parking
lot. We all served missions, we've earned emergency lawn time.

Glen Oaks Drinkable Yogurt makes the world go round. This is all.

No Regrets

2009-07-10T08:24:00.001-07:00

We figured that we had to do something we wouldn't normally do and may
regret like run naked past a police station, rob a bank, maybe flash
our boobies at unsuspecting females.
You know, the usual.

So I woke up after my deep two hour 5hour energy crash to this still
brisk tall boy on my lap. Thanks Bell.

Completely Wired

2009-07-10T08:20:00.001-07:00

With the assistance of 5 hour energy I was like a racehorse on crack
making the drive to San Jorge with the precious cargo of 8 bright
young souls.

I stopped driving at 5 and let Jared drive. I had a 5hour energy crash
at 5:30. Hard.

Dysfunkshunal

2009-07-09T23:58:00.000-07:00

We put the fun in dysfunctional!

The plan was to leave at 7:30. So naturally it's 1:00am and we're in
Provo.

We've already had to ship Chalee her house, car, and spare car key
overnight fedex from Provo to SLC for $17.50. Nice.

Now we're having CNGific technical difficulties.

We went in for energy drinks at the gas station. Mike Pantone buys
milk. Which is why we love him!

San DiAgo Roadtrip Begins!

2009-07-09T20:08:00.000-07:00

The Morning After

2009-07-05T23:06:00.001-07:00

I'm assuming this is what I will look like on the morning of July
31st. Maybe a bigger smile though...

This is post City of Rocks Trip. 6:00am-2:00am of rock climbing
goodness.

FML

2009-06-25T20:48:00.001-07:00

I just poured the rest of the Kix into a bowl, threw away the plastic,
then recycled the box only to find out we have no more milk. FML.
Here's to Kix with strawberry Slim-Fast

Aquatic Seduction

2009-06-10T21:37:00.000-07:00

Nicole and I booked our moon of honies to Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. We're going down to personally punch the swine flu in the face and tell it to "stay out the catbox! stay out of the catbox!"

Everything is going swimmingly along the lines of wedding plans. We've had about three weeks of rain storms so hopefully they'll be tired by the time July 30th rolls around.

Home Defense

2009-06-04T08:34:00.001-07:00

I think I should acquire this gun as my home defense weapon when
Nicole and I get married. Can never be too safe...

I'm also going to use it to shoot wildly into the air during national
holidays or revolutionary uprisings.

I Have Been Motivated

2009-05-30T10:13:00.000-07:00

If I had a monkey, he'd ride bulls.

Computer Upgrade

2009-05-28T11:56:00.000-07:00

My computer is a little over 3 years old so I thought I'd upgrade it
to this puppy.

Blazing 6.5" screen, 1 MB of Ram, and an impressive 512 MB of Hard
Drive space. Not to mention the 8 bit graphics card.

I'm sold.

Two Year Anniversary...ish

2009-05-26T22:55:00.001-07:00

Two years ago today I met this cute girl at a friends house. I flirted
with her and tried to get her to quit her job she started the day
before so she could come to Lava Hot Springs with me. She probably
would have if it wasn't raining that day. That girls name is Nini.

So technically it's the two year anniversary from when we met. We call
June 1st as the first day we got together because we were together for
like 75 days in a row after that.

I'm glad it was my friends birthday, I'm glad Nicole decided to
randomly swing by, I'm glad I got up and pretendedt o get a bevy and
laffy taffy so I had a reason to talk to her. Most of all, I'm glad I
fell in love with her.

Happy Anniversary...ish Nini! I love your body!

2009-04-29T18:47:00.001-07:00

So, I just finished my math final. This picture illustrates how I felt
during the COMPREHENSIVE final. The words math and comprehensive
should never be used in the same sentence. Ever! Just glad it's over.
I hereby declare Summer!

Check out Nicole's new whip! Reliable, sexy, smells new, and fits Mahzy. What else could one ask for?

Nini Ski Day!

2009-04-15T20:59:00.000-07:00

I figured I'd take a few minutes and introduce myself to this blog business. If it turns out aall craysie like, my apologies.

This February was one of my favorite ski days of the year. It was the day that Nicole came to Basin with me. She hasn't skied for years but still killed it! It was the first of many "Schweppe Family" ski days.

Christmas and New Year!

WE ARE ENGAGED!!

2008-12-14T12:07:00.000-08:00

So for my first post I think I'll start with how he proposed. So it started a couple days ago my friend whitney called and said that her husbands parents got some tickets to go up to The Needles lodge at snow basin and they couldnt go so whit and jason invited us to go with them. So Saturday around five us four were in the gondola going up to the lodge. We were just sitting there and Derrik said "look there is a moose on the hill" I turned around I didnt see anything except for a sign with writing on it. Then I heard everyone move so I turned around and Deek was on his knee and asked me to marry him. The sign I saw said "will you marry me" but I didnt read what it said. When we got to the lodge all our other friends were there. It was the best night of my life. Later we all went and made gingerbread houses.
