utah @ UCLA

score:14-21

the breakdown:

starting freshman QB

good drives but couldn't make it into the endzone

UCLA always converting on 3rd and long

Star being triple teamed

trouble in our secondary

a wasted timeout

a utah touchdown a little too late

not enough time to come back and tie

another heartbreaking loss

besides the game though

i had an amazing time with my family.

i love that football gives us even more time to see each other.

because in the end, family is most important anyway.

we never miss the 10pm cheeseburger snack ritual with the team. jason, me, freddie, ash, ty, cary, jackson.

of course my favorite part is the ice cream sundae bar

ashley drove down from cal poly for the game!

jason is on the travel team so now we can party with him on all the away trips

ash and i with our kombucha obsession

the team goes to a movie the night before a game so we joined them since the theater was down the street

having police escorts get you through traffic is the only way to travel in LA

us girls hit up the utah tail gate

at half time with ashley when we were both dying of nervousness

me and my momma at the rose bowl. see you again in 2 years and next time with a W

i still love my utes and always will!!!

extreme room makeover

am i married to tim "the tool man" taylor?

i left my husband for 36 hours to go to california

and when i said goodbye the front room looked like this:

i know. 

the carpet was pretty bad.

so  tim  dawson, blair, and diana took on quite the project

and transformed our front room into this:

i was personally VERY impressed

and i absolutely love it.

(i might not love our $10 ikea rug but that's next on the wish list)

also on the wish list is a few more holiday decorations

but for now our few simple ones will have to do:

and lastly...

i'll be the first to admit i'm somewhat of a procrastinator.

i started a bunch of crafts right when we got married last summer,

however few of them were ever completely finished.

well in light of some recent opportunities,

i decided that it was important that this craft was finished:

we may or may not be adding to this map in the near future!

although i might need to change it into a world map instead of a USA map....

stay tuned!
