ESPN

This will be quick. Joe & I went to the USU vs BSU football game. It was fun, for the first quarter or so. We were two rows behind a guy dressed up as a bunny, and ended up being shown on ESPN. I was pretty stoked! We were on ESPN!!! For those who do not know - I LOVE football. People at work (I work with mostly guys) are amazed at how much I know about football. It's just a hobby. I called to let my parents know where we were sitting, and my dad DVR'd it and saw Joe & I at least twice. Sweet.

One thing that amuses me during football is the banter between opposing teams. We were sitting next to two Boise State fans, and people loved ripping into them. It amused me to listen to the things they come up with to taunt each other. Unfortunately it did result in a fight in our section, with fists being thrown. But luckily it dissipated and the drunken fans left.

One thing that I hate about sports is when people boo the opposing team. These people are athletes, doing what they love to do. I believe they deserve respect and be shown appreciation. But that's just me.

I hope y'all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Pumpkin Walk

Logan's pumpkin walk they put on every October is one of my favorite things. People get together & put together scenes with pumpkins, and all other vegetables. This years theme was "a word from our sponsor", each scene being a commercial. My favorite one was "it's so easy, a caveman could do it". Each year there is a group that does incredible details on the faces, this year it was Michael Jackson. So here are a few pictures from the pumpkin walk!As many of you know, I love to read. And Joe made me very happy today when he told me one of my favorite series has a new book. I LOVE the Peter and the Starcatcher series by Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson. The new book is Peter and the Sword of Mercy. I would recommend the series to anyone who likes adventure books!

Bear 100 and other such happenings

Hello readers! I am ashamed at myself - I really have been a slacker lately. It is true, and sad. So - maybe you're wondering what's happening with the Chambers? Not a whole lot. It is football season, and I am LOVING it!!! The Aggies have represented themselves pretty well so far. A week and a half ago Joe & I went up Logan Canyon to Franklin Basin and worked at an aid station with the former 16th ward Bishopric at the Bear 100. The Bear 100 is a 100 mile mountain race (running nonstop ...) with people coming from all over the country. The person who won the race this year finished in just over 18 hours. The average age of the runners - 44, oldest - 67, and youngest - 24. It was a fun night.
The drive through the canyon was gorgeous - with the trees starting to change colors.
Me - chopping onions. The Tidwells made the most fantastic Dutch Oven Stew I have ever tasted. Yum!!

Joe & I were also able to go to the USA vs. El Salvador soccer game, qualifying game for the World Cup. I played soccer growing up, and loved going to the game! The fans (both El Salvador & USA) were extremely loud and it was a ton of fun!
Joe & I, and you gotta love the guy drinking beer behind us. Out of the six people who went - three of us were wearing blue, El Salvador's colors. Next time we go to a game, I'll research the other teams colors! Well that's all for now folks - but I promise more to come. Soon.
