Happy Birthdays!

Today is my oldest sister, Megan's, birthday. Unfortunately she lives in L.A. so I can't celebrate with her, but I wanted her to know how much I love her not only as a sister, but as a friend. She is always so kind and concerned about Brady, Paisley, and me. She has done so much for Brady in helping him apply to med school. We would be lost without her hours of help, advice, and ever needed encouragement. She is always selfless and willing to help others. She constantly is giving her waking hours to others through her job as well, which speaks a lot about who she is. Many people would be worse off without what she has given to her patients. Love ya Megan and hope you have a great birthday even though I know it will all be spent at the hospital.

Today is also my dear friend, Jana's birthday. She is often in my thoughts and prayers and is missed by so many friends and family. I pray that her loved ones can be comforted today and we can all rembmer that she is need elsewhere and doing important work. I love and miss you Jana.


Morgan I hope you don't mind I got this off your blog because I have loved it since I saw it. You both look so beautiful and you were always her best friend and an amazing friend to her.

Sports...

Pictures are kind of random, but they were the only two on my comp that fit with the post...

My cute nephew Colton, is a huge Jazz fan... GO JAZZ!

My mother and I are huge Reno Mahe fans and got out picture with him at the airport this football season... GO BYU!

Why do sports make people so darn crazy?  Brady and I went to the Jazz game last night (which is nice since most Utahns are Jazz fans, I never feel contention with others)  Well it was a good game with great seats (Thanks mom and dad, new season ticket holders) and they won!  On the way to the car there were two guys screaming at the tops of their lungs crazy stuff about the win.  They were really excited.  Brady turns to me and whispers (now that kids is why you don't do crack) judgmental of both of us I know, but it was funny and obvious they weren't all the way there.  Well then they start yelling about the Utes (surprise surprise they were Ute fans...)  Dozens of people were stuck at a light waiting to cross when they kept yelling GO UTAH and making the u with their hands...well me being the level headed BYU fan (YEAH RIGHT!) yelled GO TCU!!!  Okay I know it was not appropriate especially while wearing BYU gear because it poorly represents the school and team.  Brady stepped away and acted like he didn't know me, mainly because he was embarrassed and partly scared of a fight.   When Brady got the nerve up to stand by me again he said "This is how you feel when we go to a game together or I play sports huh?" (My husband is also a crazy sports fan and participant) I was so proud of my husband for being smart enough to realize how I feel when I watch him bicker with refs, opponents, or opposing fans...So then I come back to the question...Why do sports make people so darn crazy??? (including myself)  I guess fans aren't supposed to be objective right?  

SO GO BYU AND TCU FOR ONE NIGHT!  (Sorry I can't help myself)

P.S. Jami and John while I write this post which poorly reflects ute fans, you two are the only ones I like so I don't lump your family in the out of control ute fan group... should I be lumped with the out of control cougar fans???
