A Freezing Cold Victory!

Thursday night I got the best Thanksgiving present EVER.... a text from D'Nell. Since D'Nell is my texting BFF her texts always make me super happy. This text, however, was different. She had access to a ticket to a certain football game that was to take place on Saturday November 27, 2010. Now this football game is one that any true University of Utah fan dreams of attending. You guessed it... D'Nell was offering me a ticket to the Utah v. BYU game. Oh happy day!
So, this morning I bundled up (not well enough though) and set off for Rice-Eccles Stadium hoping and praying for a victory. The thought of facing my grandfather or going to work on Monday with a loss made me want to curl up in my bed and never come out.

Hello boys!

D'Nell, Erin, Heather, and me... Erin and Heather were down in the FUSS, just below us.

The game began with a brawl. As soon as the players ran out of the locker room they went at it. I may have cheered them on a little....

I spent the next 3 hours of my life freezing to death. I left during the second quarter to go buy another pair of socks. I totally paid $11 for a pair of socks and I don't regret it. This game was crazy, and I think it may have given me a few gray hairs. But, this was the sight at the end of the game, notice all the red flooding the field???

And here, ladies and gentlemen, is the final score. For those in denial, that reads Utah 17 BYU 16. I believe that is a Utah victory! FANTASTIC!!

A Utah man am I!

And here's my BFF D'Nell.

Here are my new socks (over the socks I wore to the game). Aren't they sweet? I have not been that cold since I lived in Nauvoo. I was wishing someone would volunteer to sit on my feet (next time I won't choose style over warmth) and someone else would cuddle with me. I was willing to put all my personal space issues aside for a few hours. :)

Thanks D'Nell! Thanks boys on the Utah football team! It was a great day!
