GOOOOOO COUGARS!

So for Labor Day weekend we headed back to the Holy land... Provo for the first BYU game of the season.

We flew in late Friday night... after being delayed and had to SPRINT off the plane in order to get to the rental car kiosk before they closed- we didn't want to be stranded at the airport. But we made it and drove to the hotel.

the next day we woke up and headed to campus to hit up the bookstore to get some new BYU gear. We had lunch at Brick Oven with Katie and Chris and their kids (who were also there for the game). After some relaxing at the hotel we headed up to the game.

We sat ROASTING in the heat in the Washington section (since my dad got us our tickets) but overall it was a great game- especially once the sun went down. It was really fun also to see Jake Heaps play in his first college game. Jake is from my hometown and SKYLINE alum. Also his dad used to be my basketball coach of a team I played with his sister. Additionally it was cool to see all the old superstar BYU quarterbacks come back for the half time presentation.

On Sunday we visited my friend/old roomie, Elyse and her Husband at their cute place and also got to have lunch with my Aunt Nikol. It was great to see all of them. Then we flew home. It was a really fun LAbor Day weekend. If only now the cougars could win another game!

high expectations...

...with a lot of disappointment.

So we journeyed to BYU for the FSU game like mentioned before. I won't go into the heartbreak the game caused... like for many, but it was a quick trip.

My stud of a husband! Can you guess if this was pre or post game... with a smile like that you would think pre-game...pre-disappointment.

it's GaMe time!!!

So I have to make a quick blog about some major football happenings that are relavent to my life.

First, tonight my Alma Mater, Skyline High School (in Sammamish, WA) is playing a HUGE game that they are actually showing on ESPNU!

They are playing Christian Oakes from California, both teams are nationally ranked and the QB's are both ones to watch. Also, people in my home town are stoked becuase they are hoping for CELEBRITY sightings since Will Smith, Wayne Gretzkye and Joe Montana all have sons on Christian Oaks and are "supposedly" coming. For you avid BYU fans you may wanna check out the game since Jake Heaps, the Skyline QB (who is in my home ward and I played B-ball with his sis) has signed with BYU and he is the "next big thing".

Speaking of BYU, Chris and I are leaving in the next hour to make the trek to the MECCA of college football (in Chris and I's book)...PROVO. WE just had to be there for the Coug's first home game against FSU and when our B.I.L. Chris said he had extra tickets we hopped on it! I am so excited to see the COUGARS play, especially since they are doing so well and also since I have grown more fond of the sport this year. Also I am excited to head back to P-town and campus... I hate to admit it but I miss it! I am hoping to also possibly catch up with friends too!
