BYU Basketball Game with my Wright Cousins

 Last weekend, Jake and Olivia were out of town so I invited two of my cousins to join James and I at the BYU basketball game.  Imagine my delight when I went up to their door to pick them up and Jacob was dressed like this...

 Yep, that's my kind of fan there!  From head to toe Cougs!  Absolutely love it!

I'm so happy Alyssa and Jacob could come with us.

 James and I can be quite dorky...

 He is really the sweetest and best ever!

 

 Jacob got on the jumbotron and got to ring the victory bell afterward and meet Cosmo.  I think it was the best night of his life.

Kinda hard to see but you can see his blue arms and legs.  He moved down closer to the court with a friend to get on the big screen.

 

Too bad the Cougs are proving to be not so awesome this season.  More to come on this topic, but this game was sure fun with the cousins!

Antarctic January

Let's all thank the heavens above that January 2013 is over.  Worst Utah January of my life.  Ok, so the weather was the worst of my life, but everything else about life was just great!  I got to spend lots of time with this boy...

 And lots of time with these two...

 

Jack even joined me for a basketball game one night...

Jack and Jimmer!

Enjoying a Cougar tail

He told me this was his serious face and you can see the half bag of popcorn he spilled on the floor.

Love this kid!  He was asking so many good questions about basketball.  He really started getting a grasp of what it's all about.  So fun!

 Here is proof of the awful January...

I was a little premature in taking this picture but the total snow fall for January this year was 29.5".  Vomit!

Few things make my grumpier than being cold and having to scrape my windows every single morning while being cold.  I cursed this land every single morning during January I think.  My heart longs to be outside and to go for runs in the great outdoors.  Temperatures like these forbid such action.  I used to laugh at talk of seasonal depression, but I really think these weather patterns started to take a toll on my very soul.  We went like 10 days without seeing the sun.  It makes me want to cry.  The good news is that I've lived here almost 15 years now and there has never been a winter like this.  Lets hope it is at least another 15 years before another one rolls around.  Onto to February!

Bucket List #89 - Kiss at Midnight on New Year's Eve - Complete!

I regret to inform you that there are no pictures of this event or any from this night for that matter.  What a way to fail on the last fun events of 2012 by taking zero pictures!  James and I joined his parents for dinner on New Years Eve and then headed up to Quade's for a little party.  We played games and then watched the ball drop and rang in the New Year.  And James kissed me!  Another item checked off the bucket list!  It wasn't our first kiss so don't be alarmed.  He just knew it was on my bucket list and helped me out.  Plus, he likes kissing me so it was a win-win!
