Oh, Boys, Boys, Boys!

Well . . .

What can I say?

At least Mike didn't go to Notre Dame on our own dime. If he had, I would be really mad that we spent all that money to go watch the team LOSE (again!). But, he did get to go to Notre Dame courtesy of the bookstore. And he said it was a really good experience and he's thinking of applying for jobs out there.

Could he possibly become a Notre Dame fan (insert GASP here!) if he was working for them?

No.

Don't be silly.

He'll always be a Ute fan.

And I learned something about myself this weekend:

Mike was gone, and for the first time in 4 years, I didn't have to watch the game. Sarah asked me if I wanted to come over and watch it with them, but I said, no, because I figured if Mike wasn't with me, I wouldn't watch it.

Man, was I wrong.

I did watch it.

All by myself.

I was just sitting at our house and what do you know? The game just happened to keep appearing on the screen. (There were times when I had to change the channel, because it was just too difficult to watch, but I always came back to it.)

I know, right?

WHAT?!

Mike certainly has trained me well.

The final score of the game was 3-28. (Yes, the players will now be running back from Canada if they ever ask me for a ride again.) They just don't care anymore.

Some of the highlights from Mike's trip:

He saw the Sear's Tower:He ate at Gino's Pizza in Chicago.

He didn't see Oprah.

Or where Wicked is playing.

Oh, well, next time.

We're going to L.A. for the San Diego game this weekend. Which means . . . :

DISNEYLAND!

And we will also be watching the new Harry Potter movie on opening day . . . at the Cinerama Dome!

Jealous?

I . . . There . . . No Words

I don't . . . there are . . . how could . . . WHAT THE HELL??!!!

Sad, disappointed, and MAD would be a few words.

7-47?!

Inexcusable, guys.

INEXCUSABLE.

And if any of you players ever ask me for a ride again, I'm going to drive you out to the Great Salt Lake and make you run back as punishment.

You guys PROMISED me that TCU would be no problem. That a win was in the bag. (And that's coming straight from the horses mouth. 3 players did tell me TO MY FACE that TCU would not be a problem. And, on top of that, they made my car smell like B.O. for 2 days. If I ever meet up with them again . . . just . . . look out!)

Jill & Durrant definitely had the right idea. I should have sold my ticket too.

Halloween (and Air Force)

Why is it that since Mike and I have been married Halloween always coincides with a football game? It really ruins my Halloween spirit!

This year, I really wanted to go and see The Rocky Horror Picture Show, like I want to every year, but Mike ALWAYS refuses me. I don't understand why. He would look really good as Dr. Frankenfurter in fishnet stockings, platforms and a corset. What can I say? The man is stubborn.

So . . . what did we dress up as?

You got it.

Utah fans.

I keep telling Mike that Halloween is not about being something you are everyday! It's the one day a year you can dress up crazy and no one can judge you! That's what is so great about Halloween!

Anyway, we went to the Steed's once again to watch the Air Force game on Saturday night. And, I'm not afraid to admit (afraid? on Halloween? Spooky.) that it was a close game. Too close for my comfort. Which is strange since I've been bored with the past few blow-outs. Hmmm . . . I guess Mike is right, there's just no pleasing me. I was definitely worried when we let a 28-10 lead go, but Mike just kept saying, "It's fine." It's a damn good thing they still won, because if they hadn't, I'm pretty sure Mike would have been in a bad mood for weeks.

Final score: 28-23.

GO UTES!

Anything else I want to share with you?

Thankfully, the Stupid Texas Rangers were embarrassed with their showing at the World Series. The San Francisco Giants won the title in 5 games last night. Which goes to show that my Yankees just didn't have the heart to win it this year. Oh, well. Next year. If it couldn't be my Yankees, then I'm happy the Giants were able to make a showing.

And, oh yeah . . .

There will be no belly pictures.

Colorado State

This weekend, it rained. Which means I got very cold and VERY wet at the football game. And the Utes won 59-6 even considering the pouring rain and wet field conditions.

I'm starting to feel bad for our opponents.

GO UTES!

In other news, my Yankees lost to the Texas Rangers and will not be going to the World Series this year. Stupid Texas Rangers.

And Happy Birthday to my sister, Aimee!

April 15th

Wyoming (and Stuff)

The Utes win again. Not such a blow out this time. Score: 30-6. Jordan Wynn had 3 turnovers. 3! But, as Mike says, it's better that he got his bad game out of the way now rather than when we're playing Notre Dame or TCU (or even worse, BYU).

And she finally popped!

Sarah and Ryan welcomed Sophie Eileen last week (yes, I know, I'm a little late since she'll be a week old tomorrow, but give me a break). I stole these pictures from Ryan, because when we went to visit her, I was feeling pretty crappy and really didn't want to give her anything, so I didn't get close enough to the baby to really see her. It's so unfair that Sarah looks this good after just expelling a human being from her body:

68-27 Win Over Iowa State

When Mike is disappointed that we didn't get to 70 points in one game, you know it's getting ridiculous. In other news, friends Cindy & Kevin Sproul welcomed their baby girl, Kaylee Jayne, to the world yesterday (10-10-10)!

We're still waiting for Sarah to pop and praying that little Baby *Insert First Name Here* Welling comes soon!

Oh, yeah.

And my Yanks slaughtered the Minnesota Twins in a sweep and are headed to the ALCS. We're waiting to see who we play between the Rays and the Rangers.

Two World Series Championships in a row?! Hell, yes! Bring it on!
