A Betting Woman

I know this isn't what you readers of this blog are looking for right now. You want to see pictures of my cute baby. (or that would be my guess.) But the game is going on right now and I had not really put everything together before I started watching it.

Glen and I usually have this standing bet for ice cream when BYU and Utah State play each other in football. We get ice cream at the winning school's creamery. Well last year I wanted a trip to Logan and the odds are hardly ever in favor of USU so I said if the Y won we got USU ice cream to help console the loosers.

Well the game is on! USU is doing better this year than they have done in a long time with a record of 1-3. BYU is having a "rebuilding year" and has a record of 1-3. I didn't put this all together, like I said until just now. I have to say that things are looking quite good for the Aggies! They are winning with 11:30 left in the 2nd quarter! It's 10-0 for the Aggies!

We may be going to Provo for some consolation ice cream for Glen! It would be the first time in about 20 years. Go Aggies!

(just as a side note I am generally a cougar fan but really have liked Utah State for much longer and if they are playing I go with the "true blue aggies"! It's a fun little wager to have with Glen!)

Final- Aggies-31, Cougars-16

I guess I am taking Glen to Provo to try and console his broken heart with ice cream! What a good bet we have going on! It's the only time I do bet because I can't lose- time with my husband, ice cream, and a drive to one of our two favorite academic institutions!

This is a great way to bet. You both win either way! Poor Glen though. I can't imagine that life is easy at your house when BYU loses!

California here we come

July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Conversations with Lucy

Lucy-" Mom, Do you know what you can't do?" Mom-"No, what?" Lucy-" You can't put root beer in the microwave. You can't put it in the microwave or else it will explode." Mom- " Is that right?" Lucy- " Yeah, and do you know what else you can't do, you can't put candy in the microwave or else it will explode too. Yeah!"
