The Life of an Aggie Fan
The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
We drove five hours to Boise to see a football game. Diet came with us at the last minute because Randy had to take care of his wifey, who unfortunately is back in the hospital. Luckily our seats weren't crappy, and the weather was nice (if you pretend that it wasn't below freezing). We got all decked out in our winter gear, which included: coveralls over jeans, warm socks, snow boots, long sleeve tee shirt, sweatshirt, coat, gloves, scarf and warm headband. I could barely move and I still needed a hot chocolate at half time. Matt kept looking over at me to make sure I hadn't turned into an icicle. The Aggies were winning for most of the game, and there were even some fun plays to watch on the smurf turf. There were lots of other Aggie fans there too. Like A LOT. You'd think they'd figure out how to win in front of that many supporters. However, Aggies never seem to know how to finish. I guess we had to play in the bowl the same way we played all year. It was like losing to BYU all over again. Depressing. Then a five hour drive home. We picked up Brad and Claire on the way, who talked our ears off even though it was after 1:00 AM. Matt and I were thrilled to leave them at Diet and Myrna's and go home to our quiet apartment.

Christmas Decorations!
Matt and I disagree on what makes a good Christmas tree. Matt likes the Charlie Brown tree; five branches covered with colored lights, tinsel and homemade ornaments. I was raised by a professional; I like a big, fat tree, covered with white lights and lots of matching ornaments. After a lot of frustration last year, I convinced Matt to let me buy our tree this year rather than cutting it down, and I am sooooo happy! Matt's comments were: "It's too perfect." Yes. Just the way I like it.
I used the ornaments that I couldn't fit on my tree in two strands of garland, one fake garland and one real garland made from the branches from our tree we had to cut off.
I love redecorating my wreath every year to make it match my tree!
Sorry Fischers! I know you love your fresh-cut trees, but I love the big fat ones!

Hail the Utah Aggies!
Again, Randy got us some Aggie tickets this week to watch some basketball! This is really where you have to be an aggie to understand the feeling of being there in the spectrum. You can be there, but unless you have been in the middle of the student section, you just cannot understand what being an aggie really means. I miss it! I wished that I could have sat in the middle of the crazy students! Luckily, the aggies won! And even better, we saw Ronnie Price at the game!

Ronnie Price
We tried to get Brad to go say hi to Ronnie P and get a picture with him, but he wasn't up for it. Instead he went down and gave him the rock. What a stud.

Aggie Football
Randy got Matt and I tickets to the last Aggie football game in Logan this season. We have been talking about going to a game all year. We miss Logan, and we definitely miss Utah State. We walked on campus a little bit and I was actually homesick. It was so fun to be in the middle of all those Aggie fans, especially doing the Scotsman and singing the school song. Even better, the Aggies won! I didn't see that happen often when I was in school! Thanks to Randy and Brad for keeping us company.
Brad's smile is so cute with all those missing and partially grown-in teeth!
After the game we had dinner at Randy and Jenny's house and got to see Claire and Harrison. When the yummy rolls were done, I passed Harrison to Matt to devour some rolls, and caught this cute picture of the sleeping boys...

Thanksgiving 2011
This year Matt and I took Matt's and Diet's guns (and Diet and Myrna, of course) out shooting! Jeff, my mom, Cassie, Scott and Alyssa came with us this year and we had a riot! I had a ton of fun shooting shotguns, probably my favorite, but the other girls liked the .22 rifle and pistol better. The boys liked the big guns of course! They put a lot of rounds through Matt's 30.6 rifle and muzzle-loader. Jeff couldn't get enough. It was fun to see tough army man Scott shooting. Watch out bad guys! After shooting, we had dinner and played games with my mom's family. Definitely a fun Thanksgiving.
Sorry there are so many pictures, my mom and Scott wanted to put some on their Facebook....
