new year's day.

 

rockin' my nebraska cornhuskers pride.

i'm so very sad the huskers lost their bowl game. not that it was unexpected.. but you always hope, you know? regardless, i sported my husker gear around town to do laundry, dye my hair & more.

pics on my hair later.. when i fix it. :/ i threw my back out about halfway through doing it.. i'm an old lady & it's sad. 

RSL vs Seattle Sounders

 

yesterday luke & i had the awesome chance to go see Real Salt Lake play the Seattle Sounders in the playoffs. It was a pretty intense game for Luke because he really wanted RSL to win...It was intense for me because I'm a closet Sounders fan, & didn't want him to know. :)
I decided they would be my favorite team in the MLS after we went to seattle to see them play chelsea over the summer. when I made that decision I had NO IDEA that they were RSL's biggest rivals..so...yeah.

 

passing around the RSL flag.

 

It was a very frustrating game, even for me who doesn't know what's going on half the time. I decided the biggest thing I hate about professional soccer is what a bunch of babies they are...perhaps you real soccer fans agree or disagree? Every little push that was made resulted in the player dramatically falling to the ground, throwing their arms up in the air, screaming at the refs, & faking injuries. They basically mooched the clock to get extra time, whined & cried over every little elbow, & tried to get as many fouls against the other team as possible.

I guess it's all part of the game but seriously.... it was annoying. Other than that I had a superb time...especially after the Sounders WON, 1-0!!!! 

 

Happy Friday everyone!

J'ai passe un bon weekend.

the highlight by far of my weekend was papa taking all of us to les miserables.

it was the third time seeing this play on the "big stage" (i also got to see it in san francisco & SLC) but boy was it just as amazing as always.

broadway (san fran) is always a much bigger stage with awesome effects, but the guys in cedar city did an excellent job nonetheless.

we roadied down..four hour drive..got some cafe rio, & headed over to the theatre on SUU's campus, which was beautiful.

luke gave us a mini-tour & then we sat in our seats to be amazed. i cried three times...of course. how can you not tear up at the end of the play? it's so beautiful!
le francais langue est tres jolie.. j'ai adore' le lyrics et la musique a un bon musicale.

thanks so much papa for taking all of us on a date!

 

the next highlight was the U of U football game...luke took me on a little date to watch his utes dominate cal...our first pac 12 win.

 

all in all a fabulous weekend, and like always, monday is here WAY too soon.

here's what i've been up to, as of late...

throwing a baby shower for my sis-in-law

(okay it was mostly casie & my mom, but i helped too!)

more on that, later. ;)

spending as much time as possible with my niece & nephew before they leave me.

sad face.

playing soccer with the fam. as you can tell, luke is much better at kicking the ball around than i am....

as well as STUDYING STUDYING STUDYING.
it is, with great pleasure, that i announce that i passed my MATH 1010 FINAL with the minimum required passing grade of 70%.
and good riddance, might i add.
one week until tom petty! and the summer adventures are beginning..
