Conference Weekend and More

Friday night was the BYU v. USU game and BYU won 34-14 and Matt played awesome! He got a lot of playing time this game and got a little beat up at the same time. He got 4 tackles and a sack! I drove up after school to go to the game and ended up picking Michael up along the way as well (he was in Bountiful and called me and we decided to carpool the rest of the way). I sat with Greg and Becky (Matt's parents). My family ended up coming up/down to the game as well-Alger's, Maxwell's, and Garrard's. It was fun to see all of them.
We stayed the night at Greg and Becky's and watched all of Saturday's conference up there. In between sessions, we went over to Dave and Stephanie's and Matt helped Dave out in the yard so that their house didn't flood-it had been pouring rain all day. Luckily, no water got inside their house and they were able to reroute all the water to drain out to the street. On our way home that night the gas gauge in our car decided to break and we ran out of gas on the freeway right before the exit we had to take to get home (it still said we had 27 miles left). It was absolutely pouring rain. After a few minutes the car actually started up again and we were able to get off the exit and then it stopped running again. Matt walked in pouring rain to the gas station that was about 300 yards away from where we were and got a gas can for our car. To make it shorter-we were able to get home but the gas gauge kept going back and forth deciding when to work and when not to...so who knows what happened there. It made for an adventure on our way home yesterday and it reminded me of Elder Wirthlin's talk during conference about laughing when bad things happen rather than getting angry-it was the absolute perfect situation for that talk to come into play and we had a good laugh about it.
Today we went up to my parent's house and watched conference up there. We also discovered this morning that you can watch conference live on the internet so we had a little bit of fun with that one. We went through all of my old things that I had still had kept at their house...so fun. We had a really yummy dinner and Michael came over as well as Tom Polley and his friend. We also got our wedding pictures from our photographer!!! I was so excited. We don't have them on cd (we're working on that one) so we'll have to see about how to get them on here soon. Well, I think that about sums up this weekend-I have a bit more of catching up on all the other random things that have happened in the last little bit.
