News

Big news, that I haven’t put on social media yet because of reasons, but I feel like if you’re here on my blog, you genuinely want to know the good, the bad and the ugly: 

Theo got in to BYU. Like, sleeping in the dorms, taking the classes he wants to take, living his life 2,000 miles away making his own choices.

Wow it was a long road, a winding road, a red dirt road, the broken road that led me straight to you…  pick your country song about roads, that’s what it was. (Is?)

It’s not over, hard work is always ahead, but 10 years ago, 5 years ago, 1 year ago, I would not have foreseen this huge achievement. Not sure he would have either.

I am so proud of that kid. Who is legally an adult now btw. Whew…

59-0...really?

Really.

I'd like to thank UCLA (also the Googies) for putting my husband in a great mood on Saturday night.


I will always cherish this pose by Sterling and Dave, by the way. And I just noticed that Dave is wearing a red shirt...

So the game was probably not the only reason they were chipper, but if it had been, say, 0-59, there would have been a certain pall cast over the evening...weekend...week...at my house anyway.

So...sorry for the pall at your house, Bruin fans.

I would spell it "Gougies" but that is a bit frightening.

Today Theo learned a new phrase: "Goooo, Googies!" which he repeated over and over to his own delight (and mine). Any guesses what it means?


By the way I forgot to mention that my promise to post every day doesn't extend to weekends. How am I supposed to come up with something clever and brilliant to say 7 days a week? In fact I decided not to blog on weekends at all anymore. But then I couldn't help posting today anyway. Turns out I always have something to say even if it isn't clever or brilliant. Goooo, Googies.

and I shall call it "Go Cougs."
