Blue & Red

So before the big BYU vs U of U game, Joe got to enjoy a nice Turkey Bowl. He had a lot of fun, and received a nice 'trophy' on the side of his face. Fingernails really can do a lot of damage!


As soon as we moved into our new place, Joe had this idea of outlining a football field in our nice green shag carpet. We tried to vacuum our carpet so it would have the dark/light lines but it you couldn't see it very well.



I'm really glad Joe remembered to take pictures, because I was very into the game and forgot about everything except football. Food wasn't even a temptation!

We are very grateful to everyone who came over! We all had pre-game predictions and I was one of two who had BYU winning. So sad, but I guess they were right. The game was really fun, and the U of U just played fantastic. Max Hall...well, I won't go any farther.

Confession of a college graduate

Last week Joe was mentioning how stressed he was with all the homework and studying he had to do over the next couple of weeks, so I volunteered to help. I assumed this would be turning off the TV, or quizzing him. Nope. He asked if I could help him write his paper. I said sure. So I come home on Friday from work, look at the syllabus so I know what the paper is about, and next thing I know I started writing his paper! It's true! I had to call my sister because I could remember MLA citation rules. It's only been a few months, but I feel like I can't remember much of what I was taught. Anyway, back to the paper, Joe comes home and I had to show him what I did. He was really grateful. We talked about the paper, and we wrote some of it together. It was stressful, but I actually enjoyed it. I have to admit that I miss homework! I miss learning. I miss seeing people. I don't miss the cold wind blowing, and I won't miss finals, but I have to confess that I miss school.

So, who is excited for the big game this weekend? I am!! Go Cougars!

Need a Hero?

For our ward Halloween party, the bishopric always dresses up. Secretly, they look like ordinary nerds, but....

... then they become heroes!

Joe got to be Flash. His boots are womens rain boots with yellow duct tape. Everyone made their costume from scratch. The Bishop even sewed his own muscles in!

Doesn't he look like he can run really fast?

I got to accompany the Phantom and Christine. It was fun!

This has nothing to do with Halloween, but I consider myself to be a superhero for making my first pizza from scratch, and using my stone. I put the pizza on parchment paper which makes cleaning a lot easier. YUMMY!!
