Home Again

Katherine and I will be making our way back home in the friendly skies tomorrow. We both wish it could have been a little sooner and for a little longer, but it will be a nice, much needed break from classes. It is our hope that there is no snow tomorrow and that everything is on time.

I Think I'm in Love

I just got home from seeing New Moon with my best friend Annie and I loved it! I haven't ready any of the books but this movie more than the last made me want to start reading them. I think I might start the first book on the airplane on Tuesday. I cannot wait.

Signing Day

Stephen with his #1 Fan Club

Today started signing week for high school students. We are all very proud that Stephen got a full scholarship offer from the BYU Cougars and he will be signing with them tomorrow. Happy signing day little boy...you have really worked hard for this and we are all very excited.

Veterans Day

Thank you just isn't enough.

Ft. Hood

As much as #15 of the NMU girls soccer team makes me angry, the shootings at Ft. Hood infuriate me. It is so unfortunate that this event took place and I cannot help but feel for those whose lives were lost and those that were wounded in this tragedy. I pray that those families might receive strength to make it through such an ordeal and cannot thank those men and women enough who courageously serve our country. I am a true believer that freedom is not free and appreciate the thousands of men and women sacrifice so much so that we can enjoy this great country.

One Ulgy Individual

I'm really shocked at what happened last night at BYU's soccer game. I wasn't there but ran into a lot of the players afterward while I was out at dinner. There was also a lot of buzz around campus about what had gone on but seeing this video was beyond what I thought I was going to see. Personally knowing some of the girls on the soccer team added to my enrage but this was just unacceptable. Elizabeth Lambert (#15) was subsequently suspended indefinitely and gave a formal apology but I hope that she is never allowed on BYU campus ever again. In all reality she should be charged with multiple counts of assault as well. She said that she let her emotions get the best of her but grow up! You are a junior in college and acted like you were 3 years old. Not only did she assault 2 of our players, she blatantly got away with it and was only ever given a yellow card throughout the whole game and then only came out with an apology after ESPN began to cover the story. Some people need to learn a little more class and tact...especially on the field. I hope this girl has learned her lesson.
