Hey Guys,
Homecoming Week! This whole week has been fun with all the many activities surrounding homecoming. Weather has been fantastic with sunny skies and a bright warm sun. Everything else has been exciting also.
Other quick news: I went to Costco and ordered some glasses so I can see the whiteboard in my classes and also for distance viewing. They should be here his next week. Hopefully my grades will improve now that I can see what my professors are writing down.
My roommate and I prepared for homecoming by selecting which dance we wanted to go to. There were at least four different dances to choose from, so we went with the Hoe Down dance in American Fork. We went to a western store to by a cowboy shirt, belt with a cool buckle and a hat. It was fun.
Saturday morning we (Mike and I) went and played water polo for about two hours which was great, but made us super exhausted. We then met up with our dates and went to the football game. BYU beat UNLV 52 to 7. We then separated to get ready for the dance. Mike and I ate some food, then went to the mall and then went to the Toyota dealership. We came home, got dressed and then picked up our dates.
The dance was way cool. They had straw all over the dirt ground and it was maybe 40 degrees outside. We dressed warmly and also went on a haunted hay ride through a scary haunted farm. We went through the corn maze and pretty much spent the rest of the time at the dance. Everyone was decked out in their country best with boots, holsters, and hats. Our dates were stunning! After the dance got over, we came back to our apartment and made some hot chocolate and danced to some music. We then went hot tubing for a while and enjoyed the evening and took the girls to their apartment.
Today, we woke up tired. But we woke up! And now I am enjoying the nice afternoon writing you folks a little letter. Here are some pictures:
Football – Us and our dates at the BYU football game.
Homecoming – Mike and I looking like cowboys. Please notice the matching belt buckles.
Hunting – Mike owns a nice hunting jacket that we got at Cabela’s.
Work – This is a little card and a root beer that I got for being a “terrific employee.”
Hope everyone is having a great weekend and getting ready for an exciting week of school, work, and even more play! Next weekend I should be in good ol’ Goodin’ Idaho!
