This made me laugh

So much has happened in the last little bit! This year started out great with 4th row tickets to a BYU basketball game. My sister in law Mary works for KSL and got the special tickets and decided to invite us to go along. Thank you very much! We enjoyed the game so much!

My friend Celina started out on an adventure this year and headed to Ethiopia! I think Celina is amazing for doing this! I'll miss you and can't wait till you come back! It was nice to be able to get together with old roommates and friends to get together to say goodbye.

I thought I knew everything about Joe, but I guess I don't and while we were in Burley I learned that he knows how to play the drums and does quite well.

My brother in law John came back from his mission to New Hamphshire, Manchester! I am so happy he is back! It was fun to go up to the airport and see him. He had a layover in Salt Lake for a few hours and then flew home, so we were excited to see him.

I passed my final exams from nursing school! All I have to do now is go to graduation and take my state boards! Wish me luck!

I actually like football

So the other day I was watching football with Joe on TV and realized that I actually like football. I had no idea who the teams were that were playing but that I actually enjoyed cheering for whatever color I liked better. This new love of mine stated this season when Joe and I got all sports passes. For the first time ever I started attending BYU football games. Joe would explain to be what was happening and before I knew it I didn't need him giving me the play by play.

When we found out BYU was going to the Vegas Bowl I asked Joe if we could go. I'm pretty sure he was shocked and thought I was kidding. The morning tickets became available Joe went and got them and we were lucky enough to get front row in the end zone! Thank goodness BYU killed Oregon St. We were able to rush the field another time this season! So much fun!

We were winning by so much that Cosmo decided to come sit by us for part of the game under our warm blanket. It was seriously freezing and the wind didn't help. (What happened the the Vegas weather?) Did you see us on ESPN????

All season long I have wanted to get my picture with Cosmo, but he has been pretty hard to get a picture of. I think he is my favorite mascot.

While we were in Vegas we made a quick drop by the strip. Check out this snowman that was in the Belagio, his body was made of flowers...crazy!
Whoppi and I were able to catch up on gossip.
Aren't these guys handsome!


We decided that since we were half way to Phoenix that we would just keep driving and spend Christmas with my brother Jeff. Now that weather was much better. Joe and Jeff were able to hike, and I was able to study

Merry Christmas! I was thinking about putting this up on our house. What do you think?

The man who owns this house was ordered by the police to remove his decorations. He had several people frantically knocking on his door and calling 911 to come rescue the dummy. It was also reported that TWO cars drove into his yard in an effort to save the life of that mannequin.
It was also reported that an elderly lady managed to put the ladder against the house herself, and climbed it up to the fake person.

Dream Home

Today I needed a break from studying and so I was looking on the Internet for homes. I found this beauty.(amazing in person! 2 car garage, swimming pool, bedrooms, mountains...and a LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE) I always wanted a house that I could fix up from the inside. I would tell you more about it and the price, but then you would want it. I wish I was a paid nurse right now and this house would be ours. Does anyone have a lot of money that they could loan us for a few months?? (just kidding, unless you are serious and want to loan us money)

My Neighbor

Today I am extremely grateful for my neighbor who for the past year when ever it has snowed has personally taken his snow blower and snow blown the street, because the city of Provo is neglectful to our street. Yes you read correct, he snow blows the entire street that we drive on. Thank you Brother Gardner for your service, it brings a smile to my face when I see you out there.

(for the record this is not the actual picture of our street)

Thanksgiving Break

Joe and I were able to go to the BYU vs Utah game. We had such a blast at the game (thank goodness we won!) We had some extra tickets and so we decided that we should invite my brother JB who is a Utah man, and my brother Jeff who was in town for Thanksgiving. They both showed up in red with their Utah stadium blankets. It was great to go to the game with them. (They are the type of Ute fans that aren't annoying) We had a great time rushing the field when we won! 26-23!

I love the old school colors! Maybe they will bring them back...

For Thanksgiving we went up to Burley! One of the highlights of the trip was that we went shooting. I have never shot a gun before and am actually terrified of them. But after a little bit of a warm up I did pretty good at hitting the targets.

Another highlight of the trip is that we were able to go to a session at the new Twin Falls Temple. It is so pretty!
