BYU BIRTHDAY

Andrew had a birthday coming up...

...So, I bought and taped these tickets to the bathroom mirror for him to find. Both of us have seen BYU play ASU down in Arizona...but never here at home in the Lavell Edwards Stadium. I think I was as excited as Andrew was.

Waiting for the game to start and so happy to be here!

I knew nothing about where the best seats were in this stadium, so I was pleased to see once we got there, that we were in one of the few sections with a back to lean against...and most importantly...it was in the shade for 98% of the game. (Coming from Rexburg, we wore our pants and even brought sweatshirts just in case. Who knew it would be SO BLAZING HOT just a few hours south?!)

They put on a fabulous show beforehand. Now, I love the small town, personal feel of BYU-Idaho...but the atmosphere and energy in Provo was, I have to admit, very exciting. I can see why people are so proud to be apart of this school!

Wouldn't you know it...the two largest spectators in the entire stadium sat directly in front of little 'ol me.

It didn't ruin much of my fun though. Check out the score board after the first quarter! Yay BYU!

Andrew...pretty pleased with his BYU program.

Big fan of this picture. Such a beautiful stadium.

I had to zoom in on the mountain backdrop behind the stadium. Fall is upon us!

The next day, we took a little drive up through nearby canyons to enjoy the changing colors. (Can you see Andrew down there?)

As we drove home to Idaho, the hillsides were on FIRE!

To celebrate Andrew's actual birthday on Monday, we built ourselves a whole batch of mini homemade pizzas. So yummy, so easy, and so fun! Whatever we couldn't eat that night, we threw in the freezer for easy lunches later on.

For dessert, we each had a slice of heaven, a.k.a, peanut butter cup cheesecake. Ooh yeah...

Happy #25, babe!
