Celestial Confetti

Today was the greatest day of the semester. Just unbelievably awesome.

I got to sleep in for the first time in a long long time. It was wonderful to lay in bed till 9. Will and I went to the gym to build our sexy physiques. We came back and had our pregame pancake party. I asked a pretty girl in our ward out on a date and she changed her plans to be able to come with me. I had a blast at the Creamery - the Cougarettes came in and talked to me for awhile. I picked up Angela and we went to D.I. to find some sweet 70's clothes to go Disco Skating in. It was a party. I hadn't been skating in years, so it was actually a little difficult at first. But we had a lot of fun.

Oh yeah, and I don't know if maybe you heard, but.... WE'RE THE FREAKING BEST TEAM IN THE COUNTRY!!!

I don't know how to make this any clearer to people: SanDiegoState had the best record in the country. They had 26 wins and only 1 loss. And that 1 loss was to US. And GUESS WHAT!? WE BEAT THEM AGAIN!! ON NATIONAL TV!! WE EMBARRASSED THEM!! It was absolutely incredible. We played out of our minds. It gets better - Texas lost, and Duke lost. So right now, we're ranked #7 and three teams in front of us lost. Where's that gonna put us? It better be number 4. OhioState, Pittsburg, and Kansas are the only teams that should be ranked ahead of us. And Kansas really isnt all that good. We're better than them. But either way, the honest truth is, we are most likely going to get a number 1 seed for the big dance. ESPN says it, not me. We are going to the Final Four. Quote me on it. Because not even Chuck Norris can stop Jimmer. Here's why - if you double team him, that leaves Charles Abouo open. And guess who nails the 3 every single time he takes it. And you can't ever score on us either because Jackson will take the ball away from you every time you try. And if you ever do try to put a run together on us, Brandon Davies will take the ball and throw it down so hard you'll want to go home and cry. He got an Apostle to jump out of his seat and pump his fist. I'd say that's a big deal.

And I'd say we're a big deal.

After the game it started to snow like crazy. Big big flakes. Clearly heaven was throwin a party and tossin down all that confetti to celebrate the victory.

This is the Life

Life is fantastic right now. So much happenin so fast. I love it.

Will and I are lovin bein here in Provo to witness the Jimmer show live at the Marriott Center. It's a pretty incredible experience. We're going to campout Tuesday night for the Wednesday game versus New Mexico. Mainly just for the experience and to say that we did it. We made the front page of the Daily Universe today with Jimmer. That was cool.

Being a bachelor again is a blast. Options seem to open up left and right. Kamy here is the front runner at the moment. But really though, as much as I don't enjoy first dates and wasting lots of money, I do enjoy re-realizing that there are a lot of pretty girls to pick from. Even though most of them are crazy.

Going back to Snowflake was awesome. I absolutely love that place. Probably the funnest weekend I've had this semester. Spent most of Saturday at the temple, then got a Snowflake Burro from El Cupidos.

Then Saturday night I got to watch the Lobos dominate Safford in the first round of the state playoffs. My homeboy Derek here owned the court as seen below:

We celebrated with lots and lots of Blue Bell and dance party.

Sunday I got to see my missionary friends and hear about what's been happening in the area. Got to go to 3 wards and see lots of old friends. Then the Olsons gave me a huge brisket. We partied some more and Sister Flake tried hard to find me a girl. She possibly might have succeeded.

Going through the temple with a recent convert was an amazing experience. I'd never done that before, and I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to again. It was definitely special. I'm excited for when things work out and they'll be able to be sealed.

I don't know why I've been so blessed, but I'm very grateful for it.

I was offered a position to teach at the MTC. I am very excited about it.

Also grateful to have a brother that can make sure my car is running properly and that I'll be able to travel 8 hours there and 8 back safely.

Life as a Cougar is fantastic.

Doesn't Make Sense

Here's the confusion at BYU.

The other day around 1 o'clock in the afternoon my roommates alarm went off. He took 20 minutes to yawn and stretch and finally rolled out of bed, and got in the shower for another 20 minutes. Then he got back in bed and started playing Nintendo. I don't think he does anything else. By the time his alarm went off I had read scriptures, gotten ready for the day, been to two classes, taken an exam, eaten lunch with will, completed a homework assignment, and gotten ready for work.

So he's lazy and I try hard not be - that's not a big deal to me. Different choices of lifestyle. What I don't understand is the fact that he's engaged. Another roommate is similar and also close to being engaged. And all over campus you can see gorgeous girls with goofy lookin guys.

Why?

Let's be honest, Will and I are dang good lookin guys. I mean - check us out -

And we're hard workin guys. Goin to one of the best business schools in the nation. And we're buttloads of fun. How is it that all these goobers get wives before us?

BYU is a confusing place.

A Love Story

Will and I are currently taking a marriage prep class together. It is extremely entertaining. And useful. But mostly entertaining. Our teacher is a grad student - therefore she's not much older than us. I'd guess 24 or 25 max. She's actually very pretty, and funny, and enjoyable. Too bad she's already married. Anyways, she gives us very funny assignments. Like tonight, we have to write a love poem. I had fun with it and just wrote some nonsense about makin out more often. Will, however, has decided to take this assignment very seriously. He's been pondering and laboring over these 4 stanzas for over an hour now. Being the helpful and supportive roommate that I am, I've been searching through my iTunes library trying to find inspiring love songs. And I've found some good ones....

Air Supply - Making Love out of Nothing at All

Journey - Faithfully

Marvin Gaye - How Sweet it Is

Meat Loaf - I'd do Anything for Love

It has been a fun night.

Jimmer: The Second Coming of Ty Detmer?

Just over 20 years ago, an undefeated Miami football team came to Provo ranked #1 in the country, and got shown up by a young man named Ty Detmer. 28-21. Ty would go on to win the Heisman Trophy - the award given to the best player in college football.

Last week, the SanDiegoState basketball team came to Provo undefeated, ranked #4 in the nation. And they got dominated by a young man named Jimmer Fredette. (A common occurrence now referred to as getting 'Jimmered') 71-58. Jimmer leads the nation in points per game with over 27. He is currently the front-runner to win the college basketball player of the year.
