I sat at my computer, hitting the F5 button, waiting for the link to change. What link was that? The link to buy tickets to the UCLA game!

It happened. I quickly navigated through the "Best Seats Available", then sdf8i3 CATCHPA test to get the tickets.

"There are no matching seats found. Please try again". Which I did. Same result. I called up BYU Tickets. I was on hold, listening to a message about high call volume.

I left my desk and headed out to the car, cell phone still pressed against my ear. I drove down to the Mariott Center, hung up, and got in line (about 10 people). I got to the desk and asked for UCLA tickets. "Okay. We have some on the very top row, against the rail". Hmm... That's pretty high up. I know! "What about season tickets?" I asked.

"We have some available still". I whipped out my phone again and called Erica. Multiple times because of no answer. What should I do? Will she be upset if I spend money to get season tickets? Aagh!

"I'll take two season tickets".

Lucky for me, my wife is a true blue cougar, and was excited about the season tickets.

Some times you gotta make those command decisions and hope your spouse will understand. I've got the physical and emotional scars to prove I've done it a couple of times.

Chad, tears welled up in my eyes as I heard this daring tale of devotion to the cause of the Cougars.

Erica, congrats on realizing the eternal truth that money comes and goes, but football memories are forever.

Go BYU!!!

Chad, my finals are the week after the UCLA football game so that would be a no-go...How'er, maybe if Erica goes in to labor or something I could take her spot and we could go to a different game together

Thanks, Cambrie. :) Chad is very aware that I expect him to be around when this baby is coming. Luckily, BYU's last home game is the first week of November, so I doubt (at least I really hope) our little girl doesn't come before then.

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
