Oh Cougars....


Brian had a bet with one of his co-workers as to the outcome of the BYU vs. Utah Football game......


Talk about kicking you when you are down
Rubbing salt in an open wound
And adding insult to injury...

Labor Day Weekend

I took a day off school the weekend of Labor Day, and Brian and I, along with Brian's parents and his siblings Emily and Matt, headed down to San Diego in the suburban. We stayed in Las Vegas with Brian's brother Jon and his wife Abby. They had just had a baby and everybody was so excited to see and hold little Will (now I have two nephews of the same age named William). On our way to San Diego we got stuck in the Cajon Pass fire. It was miserable. It took us five hours to get through what would have been about three miles on the freeway. We thought we would be in San Diego by 2:00 p.m. and didn't get there until 8:30. I was sad that our trip was cut almost an entire day short, but we still made the most of it.

You can tell I am scared of getting wet in this picture...the surf was really high, so we didn't see many seals or sea lions, but we did have fun taking pictures on this rock.



I know this is a disgusting picture, and you are probably a little disturbed right now, but besides the pandas, the feeding of the reptiles drew the biggest crowd at the zoo. It was one of those things that you just can't look away from, even if you want to. We watched this snake devour this entire rat. As a side note, the rat looked exactly like Penny, my pet rat that I raised from a baby. This would have been her fate had she been born at the pet store....



We also went to seaworld. Brian and I have two year passes which is really nice. It was great fun, I hope Brian's mom Deanna still had fun even though I told her that we wouldn't get wet sitting where we were and then she got SOAKED. At least our view was great....


Thumbs up for a fun weekend, despite the fact that we got stuck in a fire, oh, and that Joel and Deanna had their ipad and macbook pro stolen out of the car. I hope everyone else had fun too, even though it turned out to be a much more expensive trip than planned, what with the theft and all. It was great to see my parents, I miss you Mom and Dad.
