BYU - Wyoming Game

A couple of Saturdays ago Tyler and I got to go to the BYU - Wyoming football game at LaVell Edwards Stadium. Our good friends the Thompsons had front row tickets! (Lindsay works for BYU Athletics, and gets all kinds of perks!) It rained before and after the game, but only sprinkled a tiny bit during the game, so we got really lucky. It was a bit chilly, but we had a blast! And BYU won!

(My hair looks so red in these photos! I just got it redone and I don't think it's as red anymore, luckily. But for some reason my hair really holds onto the color red. Unfortunate.)

BYU Football Lament

As the wife of a very dedicated BYU football fan, when BYU loses, I lose. 

Sometimes a BYU loss makes for a very crabby husband (sorry, Tyler...it's true.)

[But I've been seriously crabby and difficult these past three days, so tonight I'll let him off the hook.]

But BYU - can you just win for us next time? Maybe just once this season so us wives will have happy husbands?

BYU Football

I'm sure Tyler has a lot more to say than I do on this subject, but here is my experience of the BYU-UTAH game in pictures:

 (The above pictures are on rushing the field after the game, and are at the victory bell. That was my first time rushing the field, ringing the victory bell, and with Cosmo! yes!)

edit: it was pretty funny because halfway through the game (when we were winning 20-6) Tyler told me that he had a dream that morning that we were tied with Utah and the game went into overtime (he woke up before he saw who won!). We all just laughed at him thinking that was impossible because we were clearly going to win, but look how things turned out...

Here's last week's game. We lost, but the sunset sure was beautiful.

No. 7 no more

This past weekend turned out to be a dud. Okay, not entirely, but the football loss sure brought down any Saturday night plans. Our defense simply failed, and as a result so did we, making our loss the first home game loss since 2005. Goodbye, 18 home win streak. I suppose this Saturday we'll be starting back at 1 again...

Friday night was great, though. Tyler and I participated in a Murder Mystery Dinner, which ended up to be a lot of fun. Playing up the Roman theme, we got all dressed up in bed sheet togas and trekked down to Spanish Fork (it was held in a stake center cultural hall because there were 40 of us—6 tables of 8). Our friends Kim and Cameron were at our table, which ended up to be a lot of fun (thanks guys!). I wish I had pictures, but perhaps someone else will post them online?

Sunday was the most relaxing day by far. Oh, how I love Sundays. Tyler and I share the best laughter together on Sundays. : ) Our giggle fits are contagious and we just laugh and laugh and laugh so much. Sundays are fantastic at the Jones household.
Yesterday (Sunday, the 20th) also marked 9 months of marriage for Tyler and I, and 29 for my parents. Congrats, Mom and Dad! : )

(just look at how in love my parents are.
do you see how dad is looking at mom? you can tell he loves her so much!)

Sorry about the lack of blogging. I can't keep up with blogging, work, and a full-time school schedule. My classes are going well, though, and so are Tyler's. My favorite class so far is my Modern Art History class (Surprising, I know! But the teacher turned out to be fantastic, and I love that it's modern art, not 16th-century political art). I also really love my cooking class. My teacher's goal for the semester is to make us love cooking. And I already do. I can't wait to use the kitchenaid in this week's lab! (I really think I'm going to start saving up for one. Maybe by next Christmas, if we find a good sale, we'll be able to afford one.) Tyler has an interview this week with Grant Thorton. I'm sure it will go well. : ) We'll update next week!
