BYU vs. Texas

At the beginning of September we went to the BYU vs. Texas football game. We hadn't been to one for a while despite being BYU students and big fans of BYU football. My grandparents used to be season ticket holders, but hadn't been to a game for a long time because of the difficultly driving down to Provo, often late at night. Since we lived close by and Frontrunner was built, Grandma decided to go to one last game before we moved and couldn't pick them up from the train station. So we decided to have one last hurrah before moving and go with them. We bought limited accessibility tickets because my grandpa has a hard time getting around, but the upside is that we had awesome seats! Super close to the field!

My mom came down too and watched the girls while we went with Grandma and Grandpa to the game. The game was supposed to start at 4, but didn't start for about two hours later because of a crazy storm that rained it out. Fortunately my grandparents had ponchos for the rain and John and I put clean garbage bags over us. It really helped us stay warm. We stayed under the bleachers during the rain, and really didn't get wet. It was crazy to see how much rain was pouring down.

Eventually the game started though, and what a fun game! BYU wasn't supposed to win this game because Texas was ranked number 15. BYU had just lost a game they were supposed to win against Virginia. So when John saw that this was the only home game we could make it to, we went into it planning on watching BYU lose. Surprisingly that didn't happen. BYU was ahead the whole game, and it ended BYU winning 40 to 21. Woohoo! So fun!

We were actually on the jumbo screen twice during the game too. The first time we were just on it for a second at the end of a pan across the crowd. The other time was during the "Hey, hey baby. I wanna know if you'll be my girl..." song. It was just on me and John for a few seconds. I was just smiling and waving and totally missed it when John tried to kiss me for the camera. Oops! One of John's coworkers was apparently at the game and commented on how I gave him the cheek. How embarrassing! :) 

We got home that night to find out that the power had been out at our apartment almost the entire time we were gone. I felt so bad for my mom--being at someone else's house taking care of their children with no idea of where the flashlights were. I wish she would have called and asked. I guess Ellie found my mom her toy wind up flashlight. :( The power was still out the next morning and didn't turn on until 9 am. It seemed crazy long! We miss BYU already!
