Parking

I was up at University Hospital this evening visiting my uncle who has been there for the past several weeks with heart failure. He is having surgery tomorrow to have an LVAD placed to assist his heart until a donor becomes available for a heart transplant. It's been a very hard few weeks and even harded to say goodbye to him tonight not knowing what the future holds. But i do have some comfort with the words of his son, my cousin, who has loads of faith that says with certainty "What's meant to happen will happen". I will keep you all posted on his progress.



My spirits were lifted when i found a sticker place above one of the reserved parking stalls in the hospital parking garage.


I think i need this on a magnet to place on cars or those really big trucks that take up more than one space. Anyways, i thought it was pretty funny and wanted to share it.
So.. Don't park like an idiot! :)

Me in the Kitchen

This is quite possibly an oxymoron.. I really have been trying to cook more and be domesticated but my klutziness gets in the way! I was making banana nut muffins (what i do when my bananas go bad before i can eat them) and dropped the open flour container on the floor. Don't even ask me how, and it even managed to get inside 2 cupboards and the drawer. Then in all that commotion i couldn't even remember if i had already added 1 or 2 cups so i had to dig most of it out of the mixture (well try anyway) and remeasure it! Mike gets a kick out of it though, i spill lots of things while trying to cook.
But I'm happy to report that at least they were edible!

Copilot

I take Ando with me whenever i can when i go out so he doesn't have to spend any extra time in his kennel, especially on weekends. I had some running around to do this past Saturday before the Utes game so i just put his harness on and buckled him in and away we went! He is great little copilot!

Wyoming Cowboys

My mom and step dad are big Utes fans and go to most of their football games that are in close driving distance. They invited me to go to the Wyoming game with them on October 11. I decided that since they had so much fun when they went 2 years ago that i would go too. Apparently my brain was off because i didn't think that Wyoming in October was a bad idea.. It was COLD! Fortunately it didn't snow while we were there. We did end up leaving at half time because we had a pretty substantial lead and the storm was rolling in and didn't want to get stuck in the snow!


It's funny because nearly everyone i told that i was going to the game told me to wear neutral colors and watch out because the Wyoming fans are the meanest! But when we got to the tailgate lot (decked out in Utes attire) everyone was so nice! They offered us drinks and food, so when i asked them about the mean-ness everyone had warned me about, their reply was "We just hate BYU!" It was hilarious, so we just said "so do we!". I'll go back to War Memorial any day!




They have kind of a small stadium







Todd was sleeping in the back seat, he didnt like our country music so he stuck a bunch of tissues in his ears. See the big piece stickin out? :)

I'm getting a Nephew!

I am going to have a nephew. Cody found out that his baby is a boy on Monday. He was the most excited I've heard him in years. You know, like the "Santa came!" kind of excited on Christmas morning. It was fun to hear him tell me all about it. Due date is Feb 4 i think so I'm sure I'll have pics when the time comes.

One Hell of a Game! GO UTES!

Probably one of the best games I've ever seen! Here are some pics. It was amazing!
Final Score: Utes 31 Beavers 28
