We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We certainly did. We had our friends Lauren, Heather, and her parents Tina and Dave, and Jen over and it was a blast. We had great food and conversation and the night ended with the girls (Lauren, Heather, Jen and me) playing Wii then watching a Christmas movie. We got our Christmas lights up outside in true Griswold fashion, I hope to take photos of those soon. Hope all is well! Thanks for coming over to enjoy Thanksgiving with us!
So the Cougars came to town, talking a big game and left after being beaten 48-24. It was a huge win and the team is so excited!! We are now going to a BCS bowl and we will find out which one on December 7th. The game was really exciting but very busy. With the extra pressure of a BCS bowl and the Mountain West Conference Championship on the line there was a lot of pressure and stess. But the ending was great and the team only had a meeting on Monday so we all got some much needed time off. Ben took a ton of photos at the game and they are below. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving! Hope all is well.
As you may have heard, the Utes beat the Aztecs 63-14 and became 11-0. We have one final game left this season, next Saturday in Salt Lake City against BYU. It will be a great game! We had a good time in San Diego, had some seafood for dinner Friday night and then Brittany and I got up and took some photos of the marina and nearby shopping area. And I got to catch up with a great friend from Montana State. We had breakfast and walked around the Gaslamp district while catching up. We checked out Petco Park home to the San Diego Padres too. Then it was off to the stadium. We had to rush to get everything packed up after the game to make sure we could fly out before the noise ordinance was in effect. We made it and got home around 1:30am. It was a long day but the team is pumped for this weeks final regular season game. Hope all is well.
I went to my first rugby game today. New Zealand Heartland XV played the US select team at Real Salt Lake’s new stadium. It is a beautiful stadium and it was a lot of fun to watch rugby with Ben. He tried to explain it to me as I shot some photos for him. We got all decked out in All Blacks attire and even brought a NZ flag. The New Zealand team won! It was so much fun. The did the Haka at the end of the game which you will see at the end of the photos. And of course you will see a photo of a guy bleeding, not much of a shock with rugby. Hope all is well.
Last night we went to the Utah Grizzlies Breast Cancer game. They dye the ice pink and play in pink jerseys in support of Breast Cancer. It was a really exciting game, it went into overtime and then a shoot out and the Grizzlies won! We got to spend time with our great friends which is always a fun time! Here are the pictures of the pink rink!
