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!!

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

By
  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
