Some of you may be wondering why my blog still has a Christmas themed background...the problem is I CAN'T CHANGE IT! I have changed it before and I have been following the directions on thecutestblogontheblock.com to a tee but it won't change...I click save and nothing...still green, snowflaked background! Help it is spring and I want a new background! :(

MWC Tourney

It has been about three weeks since we got back in town and I have been meaning to blog about our little trip ever since we got back but I kept forgetting (aka being ridiculously busy!). The second weekend in March Richard and I went to Las Vegas with my dad and Jordan. It was really fun. We left on Thursday (bright and early at 5 am!) so that we could get to Las Vegas in time for BYU's first game of the tournament.


We made it with a couple hours to spare so we drove to subway so that we could get 5 dollar footlongs to last us the whole day and they definitely did. BYU played Air Force in the first game and we won by about 10 (hurray!) then we watched UNLV and San Diego State battle it out. Before the game started we thought for sure that UNLV would win because it was on their home court but SDSU demolished them and we were pretty excited about not having to play UNLV on their home court (because they beat us every time and we had already beat SDSU twice earlier in the season).



After those games we went outside and relaxed until it was time for session number two. First Utah played TCU and beat them at the last second. :( Then Wyoming and New Mexico played, again this is a game where we thought for sure New Mexico would win easily but that was not the case, Wyoming won by a significant amount (I can't remember the score because it was too long ago but you get the idea). The first day of the tournament was very entertaining, all of the games were much more intense and enjoyable than we had anticipated. Which was a very good thing becuase needless to say we were VERY tired and it had been a VERY long day since it started at 5 AM!

The second day started out with a couple of girls games which we decided not to go to since we were still recovering from the long day on Thursday. So at about 11 we finally dragged ourselves out of bed and vegged for a couple more hours. Then at about 1 or 2 we went to In n Out Burger for lunch...DELICIOUS! Then we headed over to the Thomas and Mack Center for the men's games. We were first against SDSU. It was not a great experience. It was a tight game for most of the way, but unfortunately we just couldn't quite finish and we lost. :( However, the most entertaining part of the game was the guy sitting in front of us...there was some guy sitting in front of us who was not a fan of either team but it quickly became obvious that he was VERY anti-BYU. He had been quiet for most of the game so we didn't know just how anti-BYU he was until the game was over...at which point he jumped up, turned around and with the most psycho look on his face I have seen he just screamed over and over again..."YES! YES! I have been listening to you guys all night long! YES! YES!" All of this in our faces and then as he ran down the stairs he continued to demonstrate his psycho excitement...he kinda looked like this...

The last day we watched the men's and women's championship games both were between SDSU and Utah and Utah won both of them. For lunch that day we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant in Vegas and then for dinner we went and got 2 for 1 at a casino buffet.

We drove home on Sunday. All in all it was a great weekend, the only thing that could have made it better was us winning the whole thing! :)
