Inner Turmoil

So a few weeks ago Rachel's grandparents made my wishes come true!! Nana (Rachel's grandma) called up and told us that she had received a letter from the Crimson Club that some of their most supportive members were receiving a chance to buy tickets. Not just any tickets mind you, but Crimson Club Tickets on the 45 yard line!!!!

Needless to say, I was drueling profusely on news of this opportunity!! To make it even better we found out that we would have the chance to come up to the President's Box for the Pregame Meal and enjoy a beautiful feast... the condition... I would have to wear RED!!! Normally what I would consider an unthinkable task. But i acquiesced and figured even if I had to pretend to be cheering on the outside for the Utes my inner Cougar would rather be at the game then not at all. So pretty much I'm gonna be cheering along with this guy. Amazing picture!!

But really I AM HOPING THAT THIS HAPPENS!!!

GO COUGS!!

Probably the best intersection ever...

So as many of you know, Tyler and I recently left Utah County and now live in Salt Lake County. While it's only 5 miles north of our previous "dwelling" we've had to do some adjusting.

First, BYU fans are not the norm as they were down South. Our aparment complex and ward seem to be split Utah/BYU fans 50/50. We have to be careful what we say, especially since we're speaking in church the day after the big game...

Second, we actually smell smoke on a near daily basis... not something we were used to in Happy Valley.

Third, it's not quite so easy to drive down to Provo/American Fork to go shopping or to eat out. So... we've ventured northward, in the Draper/Sandy areas - and let me tell you, we haven't been dissapointed! Especially with this happenin spot...













Just East of South Towne Mall - there is the BEST selection of quick restaruants in one area I've ever seen!!

The following spots all share the same parking lot:

Paradise Bakery (none in Utah County) - best soups, sandwiches, salads, cookies!
Pei Wei (none in Utah County) - PF Changs to go
Rumbi - Tyler and I went on our first date here!
Costa Vida - Utah Classic
Chipotle (none in Utah County) - Burritos the size of a small child
Five Guys Burgers and Fries (None in Utah County...yet!) - In'N'Out From the East Coast (gone high class) Tyler's dad also happens to be working for these "guys"


Can you say wow?? These are probably my top fast dining spots in the country and they're all together!!


Even those out of Utah should appreciate that...
