ESPN GameDay! Unfortunately the cheering didn't last through the game. :( But, I must say that this is a great picture, especially considering we'd been up since 4 AM! :)

GameDay

Tomorrow is a huge football game for BYU. It is BYU vs TCU (undefeated) in Provo. And it is getting national attention....tomorrow morning ESPN College GameDay will be live from BYU Campus! :)

And yes...in case you are wondering...there are people camping out in the parking lot of Lavell Edwards Stadium.

Football Fun

We went to a little tailgate party before one of the BYU football games and they painted our legs for us.

My Brother Can Date???

On Saturday my brother, Justin, went on his first date. I can't believe he is old enough to date! (The weirder thing is that on Monday he picked me up in his car to go to the mall to help him find a tie...he is supposed to be sitting in the passenger seat...NOT ME!!!) Anyways, the date was for the homecoming dance. Before the dance him and his date and one other couple went to the BYU football game (which could not have gone any worse...the game, not their date), but they had fun. And then they went to the dance and afterward they got ice cream. It sounds like they had a great time. Here are a few pictures.

Masquerade!

On Saturday Richard and I went to a Masquerade Ball fundraiser. We were volunteering at the event so for the first few hours we were working and then we got to play and enjoy the evening. It was so great! There was all sorts of amazing entertainment. They had jugglers, belly dancers, fencers, ballroom dancers, and a live band for dancing. It was a really fun night and it was so fun to see everybody's costumes and how into it everybody got. The fundraiser was put on by an organization called "In Our Own Quiet Way". They are so great! Check them out at quietway.org

NEW RANKINGS

The first week of college football rankings (besides preseason) are out! BYU has jumped ELEVEN spots becoming the 9th ranked team in the nation! :D We passed 8 teams that were ahead of us in the preseason poll. Those teams are: Cal, LSU, Boise St, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, TCU and Utah. And also, 2 other teams that were ahead of us, Oregon and Florida State, have dropped out of the top 25.

GO COUGARS!
