Alpine Loop

It's a little early in the year, but we did our traditional alpine loop drive this weekend.  Nature is just awesome right now in case you were too busy watching football to notice.  I was looking back on the last time I blogged our fall drive, and wow, who are those kids?  Thank goodness I upgraded my camera and downgraded my BMI since then.  :)

Autumn and I were not ready to come to terms with each other (mainly because I have separation anxiety with my barbecue and...DAYLIGHT), but after this weekend I'm feeling ok.  Bring on the hikes.

BYU vs. Boise State

This weekend, we devoted 6 hours of our lives to BYU football.  That is a pretty long time to be doing anything, let alone watching football without other activities to distract, but it was actually awesome.  Anyone with internet ought to know by now what happened, but let's just say we won the game by playing well in the first and last minutes only.  It was exciting.

TaxHawk got a box suite at the 35 yard line, so we were able to watch in style away from all the peasants students, and we were feeling pretty spoiled. (Our own bathrooms, our own elevators, our own food court!?  You have to have waited in line for any one of these things in the normal stands to fully appreciate this.)

We were even given $20 each to spend on treats which is a lot harder than it sounds, especially when we try to only eat one treat per month, but at least I had reserved mine for this day.  Graham Canyon for MVP.
