Football and... an Apostle?! :)

We decided to take a spur of the moment drive and somehow ended up in Albuquerque, New Mexico for the Utah football game! :)  When we first walked into our hotel lobby and spotted the refs for the game, we knew that it was either a good sign, OR at least we knew where they were staying if we needed to find them after the game. ;)  We got there just in time to grab a bite to eat before the game, but Adam didn't want us to wear our Utah gear to dinner.  Something about a time in Tucson where he is convinced that the cooks spit in his food since he was wearing his Utah shirt after they killed U of A.  Being the good wife and daughter that we are, we agreed (and rolled our eyes while doing so! LOL)  We ate, changed into our Utah red and headed for the stadium.

Poor New Mexico took quite the beating and Utah went on to crush.... I mean defeat the Lobos 56-14.  The game was pretty much over by the end of the first quarter, but we freakin' drove seven and a half hours so there was NO way we were leaving early!  Quincy even got a nap in during the 3rd quarter.  It was THAT exciting of a game. :)  We did get a little "action" in when the stadium lights went out during the second half.  We got a 20 minute intermission while they figured out how to turn the lights on.  That was probably the "brightest" play of the night.... get it?!  Oh yes, we think we are funny! :)

We headed back to the hotel after the game and since we didn't need to "find" the refs, tried to turn in.  Remember Quincy's nap during the third quarter?  She was re-charged and sleep was not in her plans!  Soooo, we entertained ourselves the best we could in a 10 by 10 hotel room and MAYBE fell asleep a little after midnight.  At exactly 3:30 am our alarm went off.  Yes, we intentionally set it, once again confirming we are a bit crazy. ;)  Adam and I changed into our Sunday best, packed up our luggage and carried Quincy to the car sleeping, in her pajamas with a MAJOR rooster.  We had heard that Elder Scott would be speaking in Pinetop that Sunday and since it was pretty much on the way and only 4 hours from where we were, we knew we wanted to attend.  4 hours and and some flashing lights later, Adam was being pulled over for speeding. LOL (Ok, Adam didn't think this was as funny as I or I am sure the rest of you do!)  He managed to get off with just a warning when we explained to the Officer exactly what we were doing, how we had to wake up at 3:30 am and that we were just trying to get to church.  Really, who could make that story up?!

We pulled into the church parking lot just in time!  There is just a special spirit when you get to sit in the same room as an Apostle of the church.  How grateful we are that we were able to attend and hear his message.  We stopped by our family cabin on the way out of town to see Sunny's grandparents and for Adam to catch a few zzzzz's.  We were exhausted by this point (hmmm... wonder why??)

Never a dull weekend in our home and we wouldn't have it any other way!

What did YOU do this weekend?!

We look good in red, huh!? :)

Who cares if I sleep with my eyes half open!
