Utes Game + Rain = Not So Fun

On friday, one my friends posted on facebook that he was selling his Utah vs CSU football tickets.  Well I jumped on that, thinking that Andrew and I would have a good time, as we always do watching Utah Football.  I was unaware that there was going to be a huge storm that day.  So I bought the tickets on Friday and on Saturday morning I get a call from Andrew, who was at work and he said he thought we should buy ponchos so we dont get wet.  I just laughed at him and said, "nah, we'll be fine". 

The game started at 4 and we finally found a parking spot by 3:30 (not a good parking spot, it was probably a mile away).  Well by 3:35 Andrew was soaked from head to toe because he didn't have a waterproof coat on, but he was tough and didn't seem to mind too much.  Me on the other hand had my coat on so only my pants were wet, but I'm not as tought as Andrew and quickly had the "peed my pants" walk going on and began complaining.  By the time we got to our seats I was ready to go home.  Andrew of course didn't like that idea, so we compromised and stayed until halftime.... okay maybe we left a little before halftime, but we stayed for quite a while.  After that fiasco I decided that I love football but from now on, if i don't have a poncho and it's raining then I would rather be at home watching the game on tv.

How Saturdays should be

Today was a GREAT day!  It started off by me working at Vista which I enjoyed.  I just worked from 7:45 to 12 and I usually like working Saturdays. I then came home to a clean kitchen and living room.  Andrew and I had a yummy lunch and then took a nice nap.  Oh how I've missed naps on the weekends.  We are usually so busy trying to catch up on house chores and errands that we don't have time to relax on the weekends.  After our nap we got ready to watch the Ute game.  The game started off a little sketch (Iowa state scoring right off the bat) but Utah came back and ended up winning 68-27.  During half time we took a little motorcycle ride through Erda to look at the houses, but cut it short due to Andrew's hands being on the verge of frost bite.  We finished up the night with a little hot chocolate (with my secret ingredient, ice cream) and watching more football.  I love days like today.  I feel like this is how weekends are suppose to be.

Du-dumb-Megan

You know those moments when you are off in your own little world and dont realize what you're doing?  I had one of those moments today.  I had just gotten to school and put my keys in my backpack like usual.  I locked my car up and instead of putting my purse in the trunk like I normally would, I threw my backpack in there and shut it.  WHOOPS!! So there I was stranded in the parkinglot, needing to go to class and without any of my school supplies.  Luckily, we had a guest speaker in my first class and the nice person sitting next to me let me borrow a pen and paper for notes.  Also, lucky for me I have a dependable husband who called the road side assistance people while I was in class and they were there to unlock the car within a half hour!  Everything worked out and I've made it my goal to be more aware.... at least for the rest of the day.

Back to Cedar City

This past weekend I went to Cedar City to visit my best friend Haley. Haley and I lived together down in Cedar our freshman and sophomore year of college before I got married. We used to have a blast so needless to say we were both very excited for our reunion. Our old friends Timmy Cluff and Kelly Huffaker also came down. The first day there we went to dinner for Kylee's roommates' birthday. We went to an Italian restaurant called speenos. It is fairly new to Cedar and wasn't there when I went to school at SUU unfortunately, because it was very yummy. After dinner we decided to go tagging in the sheep tunnels. (The sheep tunnels are these underground tunnels that go through cedar under the interstate that used to be used to herd the sheep. Hobos do live in them and it is scary!!) The sheep tunnels started off pretty mild and not too frightening…until Kelly and Timmy decided to take off running and of course all of the girls went crazy screaming and running saying there was someone at the end of the tunnel. Luckily for me, Nick and Lani Terry came along and I volunteered Lani to share her husband with me as my guard since my husband was back at home working. So as we were running for our life through the tunnel I held on to Nick's shirt. Once we caught up with Timmy and Kelly we learned that they were only racing and that there wasn't a reason to be scared at all. Once we were all able to calm down we took our turns at tagging, or spray painting. I of course tagged the usual A + M = Love.

On Saturday, we woke up bright and early to go rock climbing. Anyone who knows me knows my biggest fear is heights and that I will do almost anything to get an adrenaline rush. So I was pumped to go rocky climbing. Haley's boyfriend, Spencer who I met for the first time this weekend is really into rock climbing so he came along and let us use his equipment, Thanks Spencer! After rock climbing we took a hike to Kanarraville Falls. For anyone who is looking for a beautiful, fun hike, I would highly recommend this one. It's not very difficult either. At the top of the hike when you get to the waterfall you can actually slide down it. We had a lot of fun! That night we went out to dinner and then went to the adult park in St George. That night I had to decide whether to stay in Cedar and Go home early in the morning so I would be back for work or just leave that night. I decided to go home Saturday night because I had homework I knew wouldn't get done if I stayed in Cedar. I loved being able to see my besties again. This weekend was a success, Thanks guys!!

PICS TO COME

football, family, friends and food

As you all know football season is among us and I, andrew, am once again in heaven. The Utes are off to a solid start which means so far so perfect for the season.

In between all of the football we still manage to find time in our incredibly busy schedules to spend time with our families and friends. Last saturday Randy turned 50! And so my mother in law through him a huge surprise party which was very exciting. We helped get everything set up and ready to go including the food from one of my favorite and THE BEST barbecue in utah, Pats Barbecue. (Its located about 2100 s and West Temple in what looks like a run down part of town. Try it sometime...you'll like it) any way Randy seemed to have a fun time and so did we. He received a ton of "old person" products including a cane and a walker. Some of them were pretty hilarious...it was especially funny when a certain lady said "well when we need something we all know where to get it" what makes that funny is she is probably in her 80s and the only one there who actually needs it.

Other than these things I guess there isn't too much. This friday is my moms birthday and we are trying to put together a little cake and ice cream gathering and getting her a little something special.

GO UTES!
My nickname is "mandrew"
and my wife is one foxy lady!
Peace out.

UTES GET A WIN!

Earlier this week I blogged about how disappointed I was that I wasn't going to the first Utah game of the season and Andrew was. Well, the night before the game Andrew text me and said "guess who's going to the game tomorrow?" and when I asked who he said, "YOU" as in ME! I guess Kenny and Zach had an extra ticket so I got to go and boy am I glad I did. It was an awesome game, definitely a nail biter. The Utes played Pitt and they ended up winning in overtime. We had a really fun time and I must say I am so glad that I married a Ute fan, it's one of the many perks about Andrew.

Vegas

This last weekend my parents took Andrew and I to Vegas to celebrate my 21st birthday. We stayed at Caesars palace, which is one of my favorites hotels in Vegas, the other one being Mandalay Bay. We got there on Friday, went out to eat and then my mom insisted she needed to take me shopping because I apparently didn't bring Vegas attire. I must say I was in Paradise! I love the shops at Caesars Palace and I had forgotten how relaxing shopping is when you aren't spending your own money, thanks mom!! So while we were shopping Andrew and Ran, my step dad went and did a little gambling. Ran gave Andrew and I each $200 to gamble with and we came home a few hundred dollars richer. On Saturday Ran sent my mom and I to the spa to get massages and afterwards Andrew came and we indulged ourselves at the spas steam rooms. My favorite was the Cedar wood Sauna. I also liked the herbal steam room even though I could only stay in there for about a minute because it was so hard to breath. Andrew enjoyed the shaving room, they didn't have one of those on the girls side so I don’t really know what was so cool about it but he liked it. We really enjoyed our time and had fun on our little getaway to Vegas.

Roommate

So the title of this post pretty much explains itself but I will elaborate a bit. So I have a friend named Heather Capell. We've been best friends since we were in 6th grade, we were inseperable in high school and had planned to live together, with our other friend Haley in college. Well things didn't go as planned and it ended up just being Haley and I living together down at SUU. But a couple of weeks ago Heather, her daughter Payton and I..... and Andrew all became roommates. It's been working out really well. We live in a 3 bedroom townhome so Heath and payton got the guest bedroom and the office, which is now Paytons bedroom. It was interesting trying to find room for all of our clothes because before they moved in we were using all 3 closests but we've made it work. It's been fun to be able to just walk down the hall and have a girl talk whenever we want and also to have little payton living with us. We are really enjoying having them here.

FALL = FOOTBALL!!

So anyone who knows us, knows that we LOVE football and especially University of Utah football. So for the last couple of weeks we've been getting really excited for tomorrow, which is Utah's first game. So this whole time I thought that Andrew and I would wear our Utah gear, eat some football food and watch the game together. Well, I found out Monday that Andrew (the luckydog) is going to the game with our friend Zach. I'm a little disappointed that I will have to find someone else to watch the game with but most of all I'm jealous that Im not the one going to the game. So when my turn comes along and I get invited to a game and he doesn't... I wont feel bad :) haha love ya And!
