101.9 the end

Rick and I have been big music fans forever. When we went on our first date, I remember thinking, "too bad I don't like this guy because we really have a lot in common as far as music goes." We have always been big fans of alternative rock. We started listening to KJQ and then 107.5 the end, and now 101.9 the end with a little X96 in there somewhere. Even when we lived outside of Utah, we would listen to Chunga and Marcus, now Chunga and Mister over the internet. We settled on listening to sattelite radio for a while in Mississippi because we didn't care much for Christian rock or Country. I know it sounds a little weak, but we were so excited to move back to Utah so that we could listen to good radio. Well, about 6 months ago there was a little shake up at our favorite station and we heard this new guy named Parker. I hated him at first, but now we are BFF. Sierra was the first one to meet Parker at a Jiffy Lube. She talked Rick into stopping in for a free CD. A few days later we found ourselves at the End Summer Jamboree at Thanksgiving Point especially to hear Colbie Caillat. We were walking around and Sierra screamed "that's Parker" and the next thing we new Sierra was introducing the rest of us to Parker. One thing led to another and we found ourselves listening to Colbie in the EndZone and later meeting her and taking pictures backstage. We LOVE Parker. We listen to him religiously. It's weird.

On Wednesday they were doing a food drive and I bribed the girls to clean their rooms by telling them that we would go see Parker. Well, it worked because here we are dropping off our bag of canned goods and talking to Parker on the radio. Seriously, there will be some kids that will come back from Thanksgiving break having gone to DisneyLand or some other magical place. But, none will be happier than Summer and sierra who got to hang out with Parker and talk on the radio. Plus we got a couple of free CD's and a free pizza coupon. Parker rocks.

Hahaha! I love it! I will admit I love country and the funny thing is one of the DJ's on the radio station I listed to is named Dan Richards. You should have heard the first time my big kids noticed that! They sooo thought Daddy was on the radio!
