For some reason or another, my computer has decided that it's wireless connection doesn't want to work...it's been a couple days now So my blogging is slightly limited seeing as how all my pictures are on my computer ... not Matt's. Boo. I was looking forward to finishing up some old posts that needed blogging while Matt was gone ... but they pretty much all require pictures.

Matt is in Louisiana as I type. Funny story: they got stuck in Provo for a few hours because the plane was too heavy to take off - they filled it up with too much fuel. So they were stuck sitting around the Provo airport for hours earlier today.

And if you get a chance ... there's some really funny youtube videos of Provo going crazy after last weeks game.

Tonight is the beginning of me being alone at our apt while Matt's away with the rest of the players. It's amazing how much I can miss one person after just a few hours. I just finished watching Ever After - great movie - I love Walmart's $5 movies. Who can guess how late I stay up tonight because I can't sleep????

Well ... I really don't have much to say - I'm more rather rambling I suppose. blah blah blah. Same old, same old around these parts - we're in the routine of school, work, football, and not much time to do much else otherwise. It's good and happy, just not the most exciting in writing. I am really liking my classes so far, that's always a good sign. Matt's taking Coaching Baseball...so fun.

It was my birthday a week and day ago! I'm finally past the teen years ... big ol 20! My dad was so cute and brought me flowers at work. They're so beautiful. Matt gave me the new Pride and Prejudice movie and a hand grain mill - which I love. May sound weird - but I've started making bread every week instead of buying it but we haven't had a wheat grinder so I couldn't make real 'wheat' bread. I made my first loaves with real wheat 2 days ago (it was actually half and half but I was still proud ... I feel soo domestic). I love it.

We made a trip to Ikea last Monday and bought a wonderful Poang chair to spice up our place a bit with the gift card my parents gave me for my b-day. I'll post a pic later.

Random cute story: I think it's worth blogging cause it was so sweet. Last week, Friday before the big game. I didn't get into Oklahoma til 10:30 p.m. Matt should have been asleep by this time. I texted to him to let him know I arrived safely. He stayed up to make sure I got there safely and everything was ok and didn't go to sleep til he knew for sure - it was so sweet ... and a lot harder to describe how cute it was. I really do have the sweetest hubby ever. Hopefully I didn't just embarrass him. :)

Hmmmm....I should probably go clean or fold laundry. Sorry this wasn't the most exciting post in the world. I do have good ones up my sleeve but they won't get to come out til my computer decides to start working again ... or I cave to uploading them onto Matt's puter. I think I'm actually going to go make cookies.

Good luck to the boys tomorrow! Fun game in the Superdome!

What an amazing game!! Both Matt and my voices were shot through Sunday from screaming so much during the game. And the stadium was absolutely fantastic! It only took 12 hours of traveling on my end but it was well worth it!

I took a lot of pictures (I've been saying that I lot) ... they don't do it justice but it kinda gives you an idea of how overwhelming the stadium and everything was. One of the other players called the stadium the big and spacious building.

BYU fans were very much outnumbered by the Oklahoma fans. It sure does get loud in there - they said there was around 75,400 fans!

It was like watching the game live and on a big screen tv at the same time. It was the best of both worlds!
We had pretty good seats too (especially considering just how far up our seats could have gone) - this is our view without any zooming on my camera. And our seats were in the 'club section' and were padded and quite comfortable


Can you see just how amazing the jumbo-tron is?


Can you spot Matt?


Kickoff! Matt is the one right next to the kicker...very start of the game



The players rushing the field after we won
Matt is hugging the guy with flag





BYU fans that stuck around after the game still cheering on the players ... the Oklahoma fans were out of there as soon as the game was over


cheesy smile
The videos aren't the best ever but you can kinda see how big the stadium is
