VEGASSSS BABYYYYY!

Road Trip Anyone?

My roommates and I impulsively decided to go to Vegas for the final WCC basketball tournament for BYU. (It wasn't that impulsive, but it was a few days before.) We drove up on Friday and got to watch three games while we were there before heading home on Sunday.

Vegas Tour Guide

I was the only one of my friends that had been to Vegas before (for a total of ~12 hours), so I was in charge of taking them around. I'll add some pictures of things we saw and did with captions for more details! We didn't have a ton of free time outside of the games, so we didn't do a ton but tried to get in the iconic Vegas spots.

Go Cougs Baby!

THE MAIN EVENT (basketball of course!) We didn't arrive in time for the first women's game, but we watched it on the drive there while we ate some delicious Panda Express.

Although the ROC was relatively small, we were having a blast. The first game we went to was so hype. We were worried there for a minute, but happy for the comeback!

The second day in Vegas, we had two basketball games. Spoiler alert (if you didn't know yet you're not a real fan): we won both! They were super fun, super high energy games, and I'm so glad we were a part of them!

Frozen Tundra Awaits

We were not happy to go back to Provo, where it snowed over the weekend, but our tough classes were calling. It was hard to leave after the fun and stress-free weekend we had. But on a happy note, we ran into Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler at church, so that was dope!

Overall, great experience, and we wish we could've stayed longer. We're proud of the cougs even after the two losses on Monday and thankful to be part of a passionate student section that helped us get to the games in the first place. So long WCC...and a joyful welcome to the BIG XII!

THE END OF LIFE AS WE KNOW IT

Image
 The Title Makes No Sense...I Know All it means is there are officially no more home football or basketball games left this year. My friends and I are super sad because that was our entire social life. I'll add lots of pics so you know we truly do nothing else. My best friend from home, Meagan, and I at the Arkansas football game Sage and I with one of our favorite players, Trey Stewart, after the blue v white preseason game But Wait! There's More... While there are no more home games left, my friends and I bought tickets for the WCC tournament in Las Vegas this weekend. We are so stoked! Basketball is literally getting us through this semester, so we had to take the opportunity to go to (possibly) the last games of the season. And it's the last WCC tournament for BYU ever! I'm so excited for the Big 12 but sad that the conference tournament won't be close by anymore. I'm soaking up the last of the big games in the west. (Photo dump incoming...) My roommates and...

FIRST BLOG, WHO DIS?

Image
I MADE A BLOG! I was feeling nostalgic for my blog of the past and felt like journaling, but realized it would be way easier online, so welcome to my blog! I hope that I remember to keep up with this and look back on all the dope memories. LIFE LATELY LET ME TELL YOU...life has been crazy busy but crazy fun! My best friends (and roommates), Sage and Annalie, love going to BYU sports, which takes up most of our free time. Other notable events: - got a 100% on a group project for my static systems (big accomplishment for me!) - submitted my mission papers - crazy amount of snow and a BYU snow day (unheard of) - dance party in the snow the night before the snow day - baby Caleb (affectionately called Leb Leb by yours truly) was born As you can tell, life is busy, but I'm loving every (well most) minute of it! We have a busy weekend ahead of us, per usual, but it's sure to be a good one. Annalie (left) and Sage (right) in the evening snow storm playing candy crush in statics (it wa...
