Hey everyone! This is Mike! I haven't posted yet and this one's going to be rather short due to our need to check out of our hotel by noon and it's 11:35 right now.

So picking up where Bri left off we arrived in Los Altos Hills CA the morning of the 9th around 12-ish to find a smiling Kim Johnson who proceeded to graciously welcome us into her home. Shortly after unloading our luggage we decided 5+ hours of driving is more than enough to make a crew of road-trippin' fools hungry for some grub so Kim took us to go get some Jack in the Box.  On our way back from our fast food feast we were discussing the happenstancial and random nature of our ending up where and when we did when Kim unintentionally drove into a crossing bunny rabbit.  Brian quickly proceeded to christen it "the easter bunny" which got some laughs from everyone while Kim shared with us that that encounter was her first roadkill experience ever! Once we got back to Kim's abode Kim wrote out a list of tourist/visitor friendly places in the area where we could visit while she was working the next day.

We slept like baby's and the next morning had the pleasure of meeting Kim's mom and siblings as we gorged ourselves on cinnamon rolls for breakfast.  Kim ended up planning a great day for us full of cool places and good food.  First we went to the Google HQ and campus where there are bikes that are owned by the company that anyone can borrow and ride around to see the sites and get from building to building easily.

Anyways, I'd tell you the rest but it's 11:50 and Brian isn't even fully clothed yet so I'll fill you in later! On to even more ridiculous adventures here in Westminster and beyond!

Before I fill everyone in on our crazy adventures thus far during Spring Break 2012 of the classy Shuffle 'n' Flow crew, I need to apologize...  It has been SO long since I have posted  feel like I don't even know you all anymore... and almost as bad, YOU don't know ME anymore!!!  But we can't let this be, so just know that my life was crazy hectic this last semester but somehow I made it through with only separating my clavical from my sternum, and most likely a broken finger!!!... but thats not important, here's what is:

       Our motel in Ely Nevada was pretty Janky (Mayja Mike just called his body smelly and janky and I decided that it was the right word to use).  2 king size beds, a full size fridge, microwave, old tv, ghetto bathroom with a showerhead that went up to mikes 2nd level of abs, a ripped out screen to the bathroom window, freaky santa painted on the front window, and a musty old smell.  Not to mention stained carpets and other surprises.  How we ended up there is still kind of a mystery.
------- But lets back track a bit.  This town was quite the place to be on a saturday night.  Most places closed at 8 or nine and we ended up at a cool American Pizza Place.  However, there were casinos and yes you guessed it!  Brothels!  Thats pretty much what the town consisted of and was what the awesome dude Dustin who we met at the church the next town over warned us about! (VIP Lounge and Massage Parlor anyone?)

       Anyways, we made it through the night but Speasemiester McGee wouldn't sleep under the sheet for fear of bed bugs.  I have also come to the conclusion that the ONLY thing King sized beds are good for are to be used by 2 guys who are sharing a bed in a motel/hotel/anywhere.  Besides that, they are way too big!  I mean I don't want to lose my wife every night or have to barrel roll till I'm dizzy just to get over to the other side!  I mean seriously!



       Moving on:  We got up and went to church which was great, and headed out to get to yosemite national park.  As we were driving on a back highway that allowed for me to drive 100+ mph without fear of cops we saw a sign for a Lunar Crater!!!!!  So naturally we turned around and drove 9 miles out into nothingness and dessert to find a massive crater!  I couldn't help but be drawn into it which took a long time to climb into, and even longer to get out (especially kuz i filled my pockets with moon rocks to have as souveniers).  After that we continued towards Yosemite so i could climb as high as I could in a sequoia tree and sleep in a hammock 100 feet in the air, but the pass was closed... :(  Another trip I guess...

       After that we got in contact with the wonderful Kim-tacular Johnson who let us stay at her place for a couple days!!!  Tragically however, as she was speeding through the back roads of Los Altos Hills she hit the easter bunny trying to run across the road... (R.I.P. little guy)

-------fer serious spense?!  Biggest loser at 2:23am?  sighhhhhh-------

Anywho, I'm tired so Mista Mike will have to finish catching you all up on his debut post later this morning.

Nighty Night World!!!

P.S.  the title stands for "Motel 6 Westminster California"

Holy Matrimony, Batman!

Everyone is getting married these days, huh?
BUTENOUGHABOUTTHAT!!!

Welcome to the best post of my life.
This is the post that I make from Carmel, California.
This is the post that I make just under half way through the second half of my amazing Spring Break.
(Was that confusing?  Let me explain in greater detail below)

On the 26th of March I flew home to Minnesota from Utah.
I spent just under two weeks playing games with my family and having an overall AMAZING time.  Got in some sweet runs, volleyball, ice cream, and just about everything that is worth doing while home in Minnesota.

On the 7th of April I flew away from Minnesota to Utah.
Brian and Mike found me staring at some rather unfortunate scones that didn't make the trip from home, but instead suffered a fate worse than death: that of suffocation and squashing.
We proceeded to spend some quality time in the SLC with some great friends and even ate some great food!
OK, you got me, we did leave Salt Lake City for a bit.  But we returned, I swear!  And had an amazing time wandering around the new City Creek Center located in the NEW downtown SLC.
We then took off for the day, the week, and the life.
SHUFFLE'N'FLOW SPRING BREAK '12 HAD BEGUN!!!

So you see, going back to the point I made up there...
You remember that I was even getting to something, or did you think I started a new story?
ANYWAY, the point I was making: Shuffle'N'Flow Spring Break '12 was the second half of my spring break.  Being home was the first half.  I am just under half way done with the second half of my Spring Break.
Get it?
Got it?
Good.

Since we left Utah Saturday night our lives have become SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING.
Saturday night we drove a couple hours before we found something very interesting...
ROCKS.
That's right.  Rocks.
We drove in to Nevada and found some super cool lookin' rocks.  So we did the natural guy thing when you discover cool lookin' rocks...
We climbed on them!
We spent around an hour climbing on these rocks and exploring all the cracks and crevices that we could find.  We even took pictures and very carefully approached what we suspected was a hobo home.
(Turns out that it was just an old couch)

We spent the night in the most luxurious motel in Ely, Nevada that has ever been built!
So as to not steal all the limelight, I will let one of the other posters on this blog fill you in on the details of the events that followed.

That is about all that I have to updOHWAITJUSTKIDDING.
It's my Birthday.
Happy Birthday to me!

I will be 25 today.
This is not a super good thing.
BUT I am excited anyway!  Life is going to be amazing the next 24 hours.

Ciao!

It's Easter, everyone!  Happy (or Merry) it!
We, being Br-ittanica Jones, M-ike Jones, and I Sp-acial Anxiety Jones, have begun our Shuffle'N'Flow Spring Break 2012.
And let me tell you how exciting it has been!
It has been exciting.

Unfortunately I have to get ready for church now, so I can't type a whole lot about it, but the next time that I am able to post I will definitely share IN DETAIL everything that has transpired.
You won't want to miss it!!

~Sp-ring Break

P.S. ok, fine, I'll give you a spoiler for what has happened.
But only one.
Because I love you.
It is this...
Mike may have one or two less limbs than he did when we left the SLC yesterday morning.

Mind. BLOWN.

Did you know that in "Sexy and I Know It" he says like Bruce Lee I got the claw?  I sure didn't!
Not until now, that is.
I knew that it said like Buce Lee SOMETHING but I had no idea what...
Who would have guessed that it was a claw.  huh.  Really makes you think, right?
Oh, it doesn't.  Well, that's cool, too.

Since I was last on here SO MUCH EXCITINGNESS HAS HAPPENED.
Not really.
My phone died.  Seemingly at random!  It had worked fine up until the last couple days when the screen decided to no longer come on.  I did the usual trick and pulled out the battery, gave it a couple seconds, and then threw it back in, hoping that would solve all the problems.
ANDITDID! the first time, at least...
Unfortunately, this started to become routine.
Once, Twice, even Three times a day the screen would no longer work.  I thought it would be fine but it eventually got to the point where I could no longer ignore the fact that my phone seemed to be circling the toilet bowl of eternity.
It's always sad to say good-bye to your beloved electronics.(This being the exact reason why I still have my first laptop from 2005.  DESPITE the fact that it really doesn't work anymore.
So I went to the Verizon store with my sadly broken phone and explained to them the situation.  Unfortunately when I went into the store the screen was actually working.  So they first simply did a hard reset on my phone, thinking that perhaps it was a software issue.
I was hopeful!
Unfortunately when I got home the screen wouldn't work.  So I went right back.  This time they just ordered me a new phone.
And told me that it would be here via FedEx today!
...and now I wait...

ALSO, I had a couple interesting conversations last night with members of the opposite gender.  You know, the finer sex.  Girls.  I talked to girls, ok?
They left me feeling quite baffled and confused.  Now I have no idea what to do...time will tell, I suppose.

For now I will simply watch Ninja Warrior and be happy waiting for my phone.
WAITING

waiting :(
