Go Aggies!


For all those years I was a convenient fan for the current school I was attending, I am making up for it now! This weekend we attended the BYU v USU Basketball game and the San Jose vs USU Football game. Before married life, basketball games caught my interest once in a while and football games, ugh not even a temptation, except for the big ones, and those I could only talk myself into maybe half of the game. But, this weekend I proved that I can be a dedicated fan too! Now keep in mind I did not say a hard-core fan. :)

Friday after work at 4pm I stood in line for basketball tickets until they let us in around 6pm, the game did not  even  start until 7PM! I have NEVER waited in lines to get into a sporting event, let alone for 3 hours. Oh how married life has changed me. Ha ha, Actually I think part of the reason why I was so willing to do this, is because our life as students is slowly fading. Technically I am no longer a student, but with the spouses card I can still enjoy a few student benefits. In May 2012 we will officially be moving on. This means we will have to start paying for sport entertainment and we wont be standing and shouting in the student section (Okay, the sitting part I am actually looking forward to).  I felt the urge to live this student life to the fullest! And we did. When we woke up to the snow storm Saturday morning I was really second guessing the plan to watch a 4 hour football game outside, but Justin is so good at being prepared! We bundled up --- I don't know if you can tell, but we are in ALL our snow gear: boots, pants, hats, coats, scarfs, and a gallon of hot chocolate in our trusty backpack cooler. 
I have to admit, only my toes were a tad cold a time or two, and I loved the seats we chose - we could stand up when we wanted to. I can honestly say I really enjoyed the football game, every minute of it. I attest most of this attitude change to Justin. I love being with Justin no matter what we're up to, so why not a 4 hour football game. I also learn something new about the game of football each time we go, it is quite an intense game and way more fun to watch when you know what is going on. And I love seeing his excitement, which tends to rub off on me.

Engineering Lab vs. Hawaii

It's Friday night of Spring Break and we are sitting in the Engineering lab ...... Justin watching March Madness and me blogging.  Some people may think it's a little on the boring side, but I have to say we are both quite enjoying ourselves.  As Spring Break approached we were under the impression that we just might be welcoming our baby boy sooner than later. On March 6th, I was dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced..... the Dr said he could be here in 2-3 days or 2 weeks. Justin and I had a couple of sleepless nights after hearing this. Jumping at any sign of labor -- makes me laugh now.  The days have passed by with few contractions and no real progress. I have to say my emotions have been all over. At times I so want to be done being pregnant and have this little boy in my arms and then the next minute I am soaking up the time Justin and I have left to easily (well 9 months pregnant easily) hop on the motorcycle for a ride up town. After reading, learning, and practi

Happy Halloween

Thanks to the Schmidt pumpkin patch  I have several cute little pumpkins I've always wanted and thanks to the Daniels party for the cute carved pumpkins that really set the Halloween tone! The Schmidt Sisters!  October 23rd we had the annual Grandpa Jess Birthday Party get together! I felt like it had been forever since the Daniels family had been together.  Not enough catching up happened for me, but it was sure fun to be around family and carve pumpkins. It helped me start to get into the Halloween spirit. Bummer that I did not take pictures at the party. But these pumpkins made me smile each day I saw them on our porch. Halloween was so much fun when you were a kid, but as I have aged the holiday has lost it's excitement. For Halloween this year we happened to be in Salt Lake with the Schmidts. Justin was presenting his IHC idea and I had the day to myself. The Schmidt family gathered at the pumpkin patch for pictures before the night of trick or treating would

Sam screams when we walk away from the swing - He loves swinging! He loves when we peep through the different holes Yes, he is crawling right to the slide, letting himself down head first
