BYU vs Utah Game

Emily and I all week were debating about trying to sell our tickets or not. We finally decided to just go and enjoy ourselves because the next time it will be at BYU will be in two years when we will both be seniors and on our last leg of school. Our seats were not bad on the 10 yard line on the east bleachers about 20 rows from the top. We came out hot and it felt good, but then the start of the second half BYU looked flat and that was not good. Emily and I both got scared but we went into OT and I was pretty excited for that. Utah kicked a field goal to go ahead by three. We then got the ball and on our second play Max Hall threw an amazing pass to George who basically walked it in for the touchdown and the win. GO BYU!!!!!!

BUSINESS SCHOOL

I found out on Wednesday that I got accepted into the Marriott Business School of Management. I will be emphasizing in Finance. I am so excited and thank you to everyone for helping with my essay and giving me some needed advice. I appreciate everything that ya'll have done. From what I have heard the Finance program is comparable in hardness to the Accounting program so I am excited about that. It is a two year degree so I will be done in December 2011 but Emily I think will be done in April 2012 so I might hold off on graduation so we can walk together. I start classes next semester, and I meet with a graduation counselor in the business program on Monday. I am so excited and thank you for the prayers and thoughts.

I AM ENGAGED!!!

I am ENGAGED!!! To some in my family that is a huge surprise ha ha ha. I asked Emily yesterday November 14th at roughly 3:00 pm. I had her do an Amazing Race type format around campus. She went from classroom to classroom that had some kind of significance. It all started after she got home from her Chemistry review she jumped into the shower to get ready for the day. I walked over to her apartment and talked to her roommates and told them to read Emily her first clue when she gets out of the shower. Her first clue said she had one hour to get ready for the day. Once she got ready she had to figure out the clue of where she was heading next.
Her roommate dropped her off on campus and Emily headed to her Anatomy/Molecular Biology classroom. Our mutual friend was there that said Anatomy 101 on the board. Emily played the game Operation with Amber and every bone or organ that Emily pulled out she had to say something interesting about that body part.
Emily then headed to her old German classroom where she had to put together a How-To that was randomly drawn. Her How-To was "How to write in cursive." She then had a German noun, verb, and adjective that she had to incorporate into her How-To. Her noun was boa constrictor, verb was to kiss, and her adjective was odorless. She did a great job from what I was told.
She then headed to her Chemistry classroom where my good friends Adam and Caleb were waiting with my little brother Wes. Caleb, Wes, and Emily were all contestants and Adam was the game show host. They played a game that is a mix between Who Wants to be a Millionaire and Jeopardy. Whomever won the game got a free meal to their favorite fast-food restaurant. Emily won...of course and I was kind of disappointed in Wes but it is all good ha ha ha.
Then Emily headed to her Book of Mormon classroom where her sister and brother-in-law were waiting. She had to act out her favorite Book of Mormon story and had to incorporate the props that her sister brought and she used her brother-in-law as one of the characters.
She ended in the classroom that we first met last semester in Calculus. I had written up a math problem that she had to do while I was hiding in the seats. As she tried to figure it out I popped out of the seats and went up there and talked to her. I then told her how much I loved her and then dropped down on one knee and asked her to marry me. She said yes and we are now engaged ha ha!!!
