Go BYU!!!

Cassie and I had one of the most amazing basketball experiences of our lives this week. Let me tell you how it all played out...

#4 SDSU was to play #9 BYU in the Marriott Center

They had announced to everyone that only 5000 students were going to be allowed into the game and 1000 tickets (wristbands actually) would be handed out the day before starting at 11 am, first come first serve. Those with wristbands were guaranteed a seat, and then on game day it would just be first come first serve. Knowing this, Cassie and I had given up on being able to go to the game because we both worked all day the day before and Cassie had classes until pretty late on game day, so from pretty early we were trying to find someone who would be getting the game (why the heck was it even broadcast on CBS College, nobody gets that channel!) Well, around 6 pm the day they handed out the wristbands I got an email informing everyone that they were handing out 5000 wristbands and there were still about half available, so I grabbed Cassie and we got over to the Marriott Center as fast as possible to get our own wristbands... and we did!!!!
We just happened to get our wristbands at the exact same time as Mitch and Elayna, so we all ended being in line together on game day, and then sitting next to each other in the stands. We didn't have the best seats (nosebleed) but for this game that didn't really matter. The excitement and atmosphere was amazing no matter where you were sitting. they had everyone with wristbands show up 3-4 hours before the game started, and then only let us all in 2 hours before the game started, so we were all outside freezing, but it was worth it!!!
The game was awesome to watch and the place was so loud we thought we were going to go deaf!!! It was great! I almost lost my voice (probably a good thing I didn't or I wouldn't have been able to work today). You all know the rest of the story.

BYU 71 - SDSU 58.

Go Jimmer! Go Cougs!!!

Tomorrow Life is too Late; Live Today

Inspirational huh? I'm wondering if I should try and be like all of those cool blogs who have those deep conversations with themselves trying to inspire themselves and the entire world with their ground breaking views on life... Meh.... not for me. I'll just stick with the "Here's what we did and here's how we did it." Heck, I think half of the people who looked at this blog initially deleted the blog after me not having posted anything for such a long time. But whatever, for those of you who may be reading this (is there even anyone still?), thank you for being faithful and patience with my lack of being on top of the wide world of blogging :)

So now that a month has gone by I figured it was about good time to post about our wonderful break. So what's new? (as in what happened within the last month?) Well, Cassie and I survived last semester. Cassie did great! She got a 4.0 and will continue to help us save money :) Me? Well, as many of you know, I've decided to go into Patent Law after I finish up school, and I continue to search for other ways to spend all of our money. I'm thinking a Mustang would be a nice addition to the family... Or maybe a boat... What do you think? Anyway, it was great to be able to go home for a couple of weeks and not have to worry about classes or homework or anything of the sort. The trip was good (ironically the weather over Christmas break was much more pleasant than Thanksgiving) and we made it home in good time.

Unfortunately the travel day started out on a bad note. The morning we left was also the morning the Provo Tabernacle caught on fire. We went to take a look and then headed for home. Once home there was no stopping!! Between the two families there was plenty to do. We celebrated Elayna's birthday, had a Christmas tree and Gingerbread house decorating party with the families (which by the way, the girls won the competition, but I swear they cheated ;) )

We went rollerblading with the whole Miskho family and had a blast! This was the best (only) picture I found of us. We may not be the most graceful couple in the rink but at least we were having fun!!!

We also hit up Leavenworth - always a highlight of the Christmas break! It was a lot of fun up there. We had plenty of time to go sledding, shopping, eating, and even watch the live Nativity!



We also had a grand time at the cabin sledding, playing games, stuffing our face and walking on water!!!! The snow was awesome and we made one of the coolest runs ever!! It's not every day that you can just walk out of the house and take a nice little ride down the hill on your sled. The only bad thing was the walk back up...






Since we've been back it's just been work, school, studies, and an occasional free meal from Sizzler's because they forgot about our order. Yay for free food!!
