Utah vs. BYU.....the fans

So, I should preface this post in that I am normally a BYU fan. I grew up cheering for my Cougars. Well, after Kenyan graduated from the U, I've had to somewhat adjust. I enjoy cheering for the U, but don't always cheer them on as much when they are playing the Y. Kenyan said I was a 60-40 BYU fan, I said it was still about 80-20. Anyhow, I was glad for the Utes and am very excited they get to go to a BCS bowl game.

My friend Amy and I were going to "decorate" a former colleague's car in UTAH attire last Friday before the game on Saturday, but she decided to take a personal day. Fortunately for us, the Utes won and she didn't take a personal day today. Amy and I went down to our former school during lunch to "decorate" her car.....oh, did I mention she's an avid BYU fan!! Take a look:

The victim and the culprits

Utah's #1 Fan!

Picture Tag

I've been tagged, twice actually, so here we go. I went to my picture folder, fourth file, fourth picture and here's what I came up with: This is a picture from when we went camping up Henry's Fork in the Uintah Mountains. This is us playing the high elk game around the campfire. If you have never played the high elk game...you are missing out!!



4 People I tag: Jodi, Shanda, Cindy, and Sarah S. (And if any of you have already done this, then just disregard this tag.)

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great
importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be
sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and
appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

Ummm.....Happy Halloween???

I know, I know, Halloween was almost 2 weeks ago, but better late than never, right? Since I have switched tracks I actually got to celebrate Halloween, on Halloween, with my class this year. (Most teachers hate Halloween....I love it!) I was Miss Frizzle from "The Magic School Bus." Most of my kids immediately recognized who I was, and then they called me Miss Frizzle all day long.



Kenyan also dressed up for work.....and after doing so began to wonder where he was going to keep all the keys he needs for work!! Kenyan was a redneck, or Cousin Eddy...isn't he hilarious!! He took his regular work clothes to work in case people made fun of him, but that's what it's all about!


He was also worried about going to the Trunk or Treat looking like that and wondered if he would continually get harassed for as long as we are in this ward. That's what it's all about, ha ha ha! Everyone loved his costume!!! He was the hit of the night!

8 Things tag...

8 T.V. Shows I like... The Amazing Race, Survivor, The Office, Dancing With the Stars, The Biggest Loser, Deal or No Deal (I still like it, even if they didn't pick me to be on the show.), The Price is Right, Friends (reruns still count!) (Apparently I'm a game show and reality tv junkie!)

8 things I did yesterday...Taught school, videotaped a lesson for my national board certification, had Parent/Teacher conferences, watched the Utes pull out a win against TCU (I was the good luck charm, just ask Kenyan), fell asleep watching "Get Smart," talked to parents all night, talked to parents all night and talked to parents all night.

8 things I am looking forward to...Going to Disney World in January, my math endorsement being finished, getting my Master's Degree next May, turning in my National Board papers at the end of March, Thanksgiving dinner with my family, Christmas, playing Guitar Hero world tour (we're saving it for Christmas), going off track (I know I just came back on, but 6 more weeks and I get a break again!)

8 things I wish for... for Kenyan to get a job, to have the perfect class, for parents to not make excuses for their kids, enough money to support my shopping habit, to have time to sit down and read a book that's not related to school, the back room in our house to be organized, a self-cleaning house(I'm also stealing that one...who wouldn't want that?!), a cure for diabetes.

8 people I tag... Stephanie Dixon, Cookie, Lu, Sarah S., Jeri, Jill, Julie, and Beth

(P.S. I know I'm running behind on this...but Halloween pictures are coming!!!)
