I think, I found the id! Truxalis nasuta thank's you all for all your comments and help! :)

Really neat Grasshopper! It has shorter, thicker antennae so that rules out katydids and crickets. I think they call these Toothpick Grasshoppers. I am sorry but I don't have time to look up more at this time.
