A Weekend of Football and Conference

Well, this weekend has not at all turned out how i thought it would...I was expecting a quiet weekend full of conference and homework so that when Jade FINALLY gets here i'll have a lot more time for play. As it turns out, that's not at all what happened but i'm far from complaining :D  Just before I got home from school on Friday I had a call from Alex asking me if I wanted to take her extra ticket for the BYU vs Utah State Football game. Of course I jumped at the chance, while i may not necessarily like BYU it is still fun to soak in the atmosphere of college football...its hard not to have a smile on your face when thousands of people are all cheering and dancing like no one cares :p The one downer of the evening (well there were two but theyre connected) was as Utah state looked like they had won the game with only a few minutes left, Alex and I decided to leave and beat the rush back to the car (once we actually found it). A few minutes after we had left the stadium we heard an almighty roar followed by an even louder one...there was only one conclusion...there had been an awesome play made by BYU and they had won. Ah the ups and downs of college football.




The field...its not as big as it seems

Wouldn't be a football game without cheerleaders and a mascot

Anywho, the next day was the beginning of the general sessions of conference. Conference is generally awesome, so its no suprise that I heard and learnt things that were very pertinant for me at the moment. After the first session I got a message from none other than Shady herself informing me that she was in fact in the United States. As if the weekend wasn't already amazing enough already! It was hard to contain my excitement while chatting to her during her stop over in L.A, although my little jig of excitment on the front lawn may have reconfirmed to the neighbours that I am in fact weird. I say reconfirmed as thanks to the 'first day of real snow' incident my weirdness was already confirmed.

Shortly after hearing from Jade I got a message from my American mum asking if I wanted to join her and Cassie at the Utah vs Washington game while the boys were at the Priesthood session of conference. As excited as I was for the BYU game, my excitement for this game was even greater...can you half tell I'm a Ute fan? ;) While the game wasn't exactly how we'd hoped, it was still awesome being there, soaking up the atmosphere and seeing all that red. I'm hoping to take Jade to a game while she's here and fully convert her to the Utes...but i guess we'll see what happens there :p

Ah check out all that red ;)

Well, as conference has now finished for another 6 months (and to those of you at home i highly recommend watching it), there's only one more thing to look forward to until Jade gets here on Sunday and that is watching the AFL grandfinal. Ah....life can be pretty darn awesome sometimes ;)
