I bleed Blue

By
I think most of you know I went to BYU.  And I think most of you know I love sports.  College Basketball is probably my favorite.  While at school I worked for the Event Staff meaning I worked at all the Football and Basketball games among a few other events.  For 2 of the years I worked basketball I worked on the floor, meaning one of the corners of the court.  Can I just say BEST. JOB. EVER.  Now obviously I did have a job to do, but I was still able to see a lot of the game.  I have always loved basketball but being that close to the action just made my love for it grow.  

BYU Basketball is one of the things I miss most about being in P-town.  Well for my birthday & Christmas I got tickets to two of their games out here in the Bay.  I was so excited!  Can I just say I have the Best Father-in-Law!  The perfect gift for me.  

The first game was Saturday January 12.  I had 4 tickets.  My original plan was for me and Jeff to go on a double date with some friends, but alas busy season stole my husband.  I was pretty bummed and even thought about not going.  But I really did want to go.  So I invited my mom to come with me and decided to bring the kids.  It was such a fun game.  I'm so glad we went.  The kids had a blast and did great!  We ran into quite a few people we knew, including some friends from our days in P-town.  

P was loving this awesome blue hair we got from grandma & grandpa.

By the end of the game the kids were done.  We left with I think 2 minutes on the clock and we had a good lead so I wasn't too sad about it.  I could not get over how small the venue was.  I guess I'm just so used to the Marriott Center that I forget it is one of the biggest college venues in the country.  But I really laughed out loud when we walked in and I saw how small it was.  The good thing about that though, was there was no traffic leaving which I cannot say about P-town.

It was also OK to leave early because my one of my other birthday gifts was to go see The Lion King at the Orpheum Theater in the city that night with my mother and mother-in-law.  Super busy day, but it was great!  The only thing that would have made it better would have been to have daddy with us.

I am now anxiously awaiting the next local BYU which is only a week and a half away.  And this time the hubs is coming along AND lots of friends too!  It is going to be an awesome night!  I can hardly wait!

GOOOOOO COUGARS!!

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

By
So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
