HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT!!

23!!! Happy Birthday 'old' man! Wow, I'm married to an old man. I'm a little late in the day getting this up here but I wouldn't go to bed without a big happy birthday broadcast to everyone :) It's basically been a normal day for him, dang it school, football, activities committee. We went out to dinner to the Training Table-thank you dad for the gift certificates!
Matt is a wonderful hubby and I am grateful that I have him to call mine. He's just absolutely great and I can't believe I am so lucky. It's by far the best part of my day when I get to see him and be with him. I don't even really know what to say besides that he is amazing and I am so thankful for him and everything he does for me. Thank you sweetheart, I LOVE YOU and HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Putnam Makes His Mark Again!!

Another great game #57!! Matt played a wonderful game Saturday against San Diego State. He got the 'Geneva Rock Hard Hit of the Game' off of one his tackles on the kickoff. After the game he got to go ring the 'victory bell'. I got to tag along as the wife an it was quite entertaining. We rode up to it on a golf cart (along with Matt Bauman) (they were still in their uniforms too) and we got all sorts of cheers from people in cars and the sidewalks, it was great. At the bell-it's basically those die-hard fans who just love BYU football so much....almost all of them had their faces painted and were so excited to see the 2 Matts. He signed a lot of autographs and got asked about a bajillion times by the little kids if they could have his wristband (but he always told em no cause they were lucky so he couldn't give em away). There was even a girl (atleast high school/college age) who asked me to take a picture of her with 'the players'...a little awkward taking a picture of another girl with MY husband-but good job Matt for not even touching her when she went and stood by him. It was a whole process of about 15 min. but it was a pretty entertaining 15 min if you ask me.

Our ward has also now discovered 'Matt Putnam' so he has become quite famous at church. We remained practically anonymous for 3 months. The elder's quorum president just loves Matt. He always ends up apologizing for how excited he gets whenever he sees Matt and starts talking about the game and how well he did. It's pretty comical to watch when you're not the one being bombarded....sorry Matt...that's what you get for being practically famous.
