MUSIC . . .
I just returned from a musical fireside directed by Gladys Knight. I have a couple of friends from the ward who are choir members (Whitney and Losa), and I was anxious to check them out. I had a great time -- it was definitely not a typical LDS music night which included some swaying, head bobbing, and clapping. I'm too boring to "get down," so to speak, but I enjoyed seeing how happy and vibrant everyone seemed to be. Whitney gave a phenomenal solo -- even though I've accompanied him and have heard him sing many times, he seemed even better in the performance setting. Losa was amazing -- she gave the biggest smile as she was singing, and it was so fun to see her enthusiasm. Good night!
SPORTS . . .
Also, BYU won another crazy game (yay!!!!). Take that, REBS!!!! It's amazing that despite BYU's penalties and turnovers and other various mistakes, we're still able to pull off wins. Don't get me wrong . . . we're brimming with talent and deserve those Ws, but I'm definitely hoping we improve as conference play progresses. We're the only undefeated team in the MWC, and I hope to stay that way. And, in related news, #1 and #2 were upset -- talk about wacky times for college football.
IMPRESSIVE BROTHERS
Scott was just accepted into the elite advertising program at BYU -- he applied and got one of the coveted spots. David is rocking the Optometry program at Cal-State Fullerton . . . he's top of his class. I'd like to think that I had something to do with their successes (j/k).
HEROISM . . .
My dad, Glen, and brother, Steven, probably saved a man's life on Mt. Timpanogos yesterday. The guy was stranded near Hidden Lakes and these two (along with another TERT [Timpanogos Emergency Rescue Team] member) provided first aid and helped him down the mountain. He was in awful shape and probably wouldn't have made it -- they were in blizzard conditions and Search & Rescue wouldn't have reached him in time to take him down before nightfall. If anyone asks Steven or my dad what they did this weekend, they can honestly reply "I saved a man's life." My response to that same question? "I mopped the kitchen floor." :)

You're hilarious. At least you can say you mopped the floor. I didn't even do that! I love your BYU updates, we were at the game Saturday night (bad I know we should have been at conference, but football is too hard to pass up) and it was a great game! A little fact I'm proud of (even though I'm a native Las Vegan??) UNLV has never beat BYU in Las Vegas! Ha! Love it! I'm mean I know.
Sadly, I even had a ticket to the game -- Jayce took my place instead since we were unable to make arrangements for Alyssa. I watched it all, though, and I tried to be okay with it (I LOVE football, so I was having a sad night when I couldn't be there). I'm glad you were there, though, cheering us on to victory over UNLV.
Hey! I was up on Timpanogos too! I just showed up a bit late. They might have saved a man's life temporarily, but I think everyone might of died if I didn't show up. So, I'm the one who saved the people who saved a guy. I'm so awesome.
Anyway, I did get into the advertising program, but the coveted spot I want (only 12 available) will not open up till April. So, I'm taking the advertising management for now and will hopefully get into the creative program in April.
