NEW ORLEANS

We just back from "New Orleans" and the "Sugar Bowl"!!! It was an amazing experiance going to both! The game was amazing and so much fun! The Alabama fans were really nice before and after the game; which we didnt expect. Some of them were pretty cocky thinking that the Utes didn't have a chance or saying "where is utah?" Or "whats a ute"... One thing is for sure! they know who the Utah Utes are NOW!!!

The night before the game was crazy! We went to the famous"Bourbon Street" where the streets were lined with U of U and Alabama fans. One side of the street was U of U and the other Alabama. The fans would stand on the balconies yelling back and forth at each other and toss mardi gras beads at people on the street. It was a blast!

The Game was a riot! We sat on the 19th row so we were really close to the field! The best part about it was that we were outnumbered 10 to 1 by Alabama fans and we were still ten times louder! Even before the game started! The Utes started out with a big bang scoring three touch downs in the first 10 min! By that point mine and tys voice was already gone! By the end of the third quarter the Alabama fans had started to clear out and by the middle of the fourth quarter they were completly gone! After the game we had alot of Alabama fans that said Utah has the craziest fans they have ever seen!


New Orleans Cemetary

Because New Orleans is below sea level all the graves are above ground. Because of disease the coffins can only be opened every 366 days.

Lower 9th ward was destroyed by the hurrican. It was sad to see. On the homes spray painted was the date it was checked and how many people were found dead in the home.

Mississippi River
The Garden District homes. The biggest most beautiful homes I have ever seen. Alot of movies are filmed in the garden district and it was fun to walk through and be able to see the home that they were filmed in. This home is where they filmed "The Curious cas of Benjamin Button"

THE SUGAR BOWL

So its official we are going to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl. Ty and I are so excited! Neither of us have ever been to New Orleans so we are excited to go see the place but we mostly just cant wait for the game against Alabama.

We are going with my parents and my little brother and all of my parents friends. So we should have a pretty good sized cheering section! But compared to Alabamas fan section it is going to be so small. Because Alabama is only a hop, skip and a jump away. Alot closer than we are!

We have to leave new years day at 4;00 a.m. so I guess that means we either have to stay up all new years eve night and not go to bed at all...Or just go to bed early! Probably option #1!

GO UTES!

p.s. I didn't really have much to blog about but I told Kort I would update my blog.

So Kort this post if for you!

THANKSGIVING WEEKEND

So this was our first Thanksgiving together!!! It was a normal Thanksgiving for me; but wow was it different for Ty!

We spent Thanksgiving with my dads side of the family in the little podunk town of McDermit, Nevada. Population of 300! However, we have a huge family that all came so our Thanksgiving consisted of 40 people where Ty is used to having Thanksgiving with maybe 10 people. To make it even more different for him we had our feast at the "Say When" casino that my grandparents own! We had dinner, then played these silly little games that my grandma invented and then did some line and swing dancing! Then we went down a gambled a little bit where we lost about $20 dollars on the "Wheel of Fortune." But my mom being the luckiest person i know but in 25 cents and won $150 dollars!

There were so many people staying at my grandparents house that you could not walk without stepping on someone! Ty and I were lucky and both got a bed though!

On Friday Ty and the guys went out Cyote hunting for the day so me, my parents and Kayla my brothers girlfriend took a 3 mile walk into town! Of course, my dad had to then take Kayla on the tour of the old town to show her where he grew up and how different it is than city life! After that we went to Brunch with a few locals and I heard some crazy stories about my dad that make me feel alot less sorry about the hell I put him through! haha

After the guys got home we started our traditional tournament of Pinocle. It is the funnest card game out there! It requires alot of thinking and the ability to count cards. It took Ty awhile to catch on but once he did he was hooked! After that the rest of the weekend consisted of eating left over Thanksgiving dinner, and playing pinocle in our free time.

Friday night we went out with all the cousins and played good ol' kick the can! Not the best idea to play when it is that dark! Ty fell in a ditch and cut open both hands and his left knee. It is now Tuesday and his knee is still bleeding! Collin lost a tooth and my cousins Tyler, Barry, and Brandon all fell and scrapped themselves up a bit too! After that we went in and played poker dealers choice until about two in the morning. And walked away with about $20 dollars which made up for the money we lost at wheel of fortune!

Saturday we played pinocle all day long and then got all 40 people together that night and played scatagories. It was a blast!!! Then we took the 8 hour drive back home on Sunday!

Ty is a pretty quite guy and the Wilkinson family is loud and are always out to embarress the new guy! I felt kinda bad for him! But he fit in just great after awhile!

GO UTES, GO UTES, GO UTES!!!

GO UTES, GO UTES, GO UTES!!!!

So the utes are now "10-0" now! whoo-hoo!!! They have two more games left which they should have both of those games in the bag EASY! (even BYU should be a breeze for them this year!)

So the reason for this blog.... Ty and I have decided that if the Utes (which they will) so when the Utes make it to the BCS Fiesta bowl we are going to go! And we want to get a big group of friends to go with us too! We will carpool down to Arizona and make a vacation out of it!

We want to start putting this together so let me know soon if you are interested in going with us! It will be a blast!!!!

Halloween!

Halloween is our favorite holiday! Not only because we both LOVE to dress up but because that is the day that we met! So it was our one year of dating celebration in costumes! How perfect!

It took us forever to decide what we were going to dress up as! Then we finally decided on being pirates. We found me the cutest costume at a costume store but all the guy pirate costumes were either really really expensive or really ugly! So he made his own and it looked better than the ones we would have bought and cost ALOT less! Thats what I like!

On Halloween night we went to Todd And Kortneys house! All of our friends came and they looked so dang cute! I feel bad for Todd and Kort though because a party like that can really take a tole on your house! They had a few broken chairs (which kort wasn't too mad because she gets her new table) and some stains in the carpet.

HOUSE HUNTING

EXCITING NEWS! We are on the hunt for a new home. We bought the one we are in now last Feb. when we decided to tie the knot! It has been very good for us and still is. However, after much thought and delibriation we have decided to go bigger. Reason is because right now we can get an amazing deal on a much bigger home with about the same payments as we are making right now. If we wait until we need to expand we might not be able to get into something as nice or as big or our payments could skyrocket! so now is the time...

So you might be asking..."what are you going to do with your current home?" We are going to rent it out! That is the other great part! Right now rents in Utah are at the highest they have ever been because so many people cannot qualify for loans! So we will actually be making money on our home!

We have been looking in Herriman, Riverton, Lehi, Draper, and South Jordan. We have narrowed it down to just a few but I think we will end up in the South Jordan area. I am so excited! Here are a few of the homes that we are looking at!
