Some of my girls and I had an
outing to Temple Square! THE

B and I were able to go to two
BYU football games in October.
game against Iowa St.
We went early to see the
team arrive...
It was a spectacular fall evening...
It was so fun being there!
THEN....we landed ourselves in the stadium
for the much anticipated game against
Notre Dame.
Don't ask how much we paid for our tickets!! lol
So dang crazy but worth every penny!
A bucket list item for me to
see the Cougs play the Irish
at LES!
A wild game.
An epic win!
I screamed and cried and prayed my little
heart out for our team. lol

If BYU could win only one game this season
this was the one for me.

On Brie's birthday night all us girls went
and saw the new Sense 'n Sensibility.
We were looking so forward to this movie.
(It's my favorite ya know.) Some very lovely
things about it, but overall we did not
care for it much. In my humble opinion
nothing will ever outdo the original 1995
movie or the tv mini series from 2008!
