We Are Proud Of You

Tonight was our last home football game, and let me tell you, even I wanted to cry at the end of it.

Our boys played amazingly, and the refs just gave the game to Torrington.

It was the fourth quarter and we were ahead 17-12. One of our boys makes an interception and runs all the way from one end zone to the other, and scores!!!!!!

Everyone is crazy excited because, well, this is crazy exciting!

The points don't show up on the scoreboard.

The refs called a penalty, on our team. We did nothing wrong, but the touchdown doesn't count.

We're all mad, but it's okay because we're still gonna win, which means we might go to playoffs.

There's less than a minute left, Torrington is dangerously close to their end zone. They score a touchdown with 11 seconds left. We lost. By three points. With 11 freakin seconds left.

My favorite coach was balling his eyes out with one of the senior boys. I hugged him.

They were so close to winning. Even the volleyball players helped us yell to our boys cheers saying how proud we were. Almost every single boy was crying as they walked into the locker room tonight.

It's always sad to see teenage boys cry.

They played their hearts out and I am so proud of them.

Unfortunately...?

My mom is the funniest woman in the world when she is tired.

The other night Doug and I were watching The King of Queens and Carrie's dad made a joke. Doug (in the show) was looking in the empty fridge and asked if Carrie had got back with the groceries yet. Her dad said yes but unfortunately, both Carrie and the groceries were invisible.

I told my mom about this and she started laughing hysterically. Doug and I both looked at her.

"Unfortunately isn't a word!!!!"

"Uh yeah mom, it is."

"No, it's not!"

Man, I love her tired moments :D

FORE!!!!

Just something I knew you were wondering about today. I got this off of Wikipedia.


"Fore!" is shouted as a warning during a golf game when it appears possible that a golf ball may hit other players or spectators. The mention of the term in an 1881 British Golf Museum indicates that the term was in use at least as early as that period. The term means "look ahead", and it is believed to come from the military "beware before", which was shouted when a battery fired behind friendly troops.


Other possible origins include the term being derived from the term "fore-caddy", a caddy waiting down range from the golfer to find where the ball lands. These caddies were often warned about oncoming golf balls by a shout "fore!". The Colonel Bogey March is based on the descending minor third which the original Colonel Bogey whistled instead of yelling Fore around 1914.


It may have also may have a contraction of the Gaelic cry Faugh a Ballach! (i.e. Clear the way!) which is still associated with the sport of road bowling which has features reminiscent of golf.


:D

L. Tom Perry


I love this man, he is adorable! I know I shouldn't have a favorite, but he is my favorite. I was listening to him during conference and we realized how tall he was. My mom was looking it up so we find out exactly how tall. We couldn't find it but here's a funny story we found:


A good friend of mine was quite the ladies’ man in High School. During General Conference, he took a particularly, ahem, frisky, girl with him down to the Tabernacle to attend a Saturday session. After the session they went back to his truck, which was parked along first avenue just a block east of the Church Office Building. They took advantage of the warm spring day and indulged their youthful passions in an enthusiastic makeout session.

They were horizontal in the truck when they heard footsteps approaching through their rolled-down window. My friend didn’t think too much of it at first, so focused was he on the attractive young woman in the car. But the footsteps got nearer and nearer, until they finally stopped right beside the truck. My friend looked up and saw L. Tom Perry looking down at the two of them.
It was obvious where they had just come from, given their (now somewhat loosened) dress clothes, and the scriptures sitting on their dashboard. Elder Perry, in that inimitable voice of his, said to them with a big grin: “Nice day, isn’t it?”

They quickly sat up and adjusted their clothing. My friend stammered out, “Yyyyeesss, it IS a nice day.”

To which Elder Perry replied heartily, “Why then, let’s keep it that way!”

Rally Cap


My dad was watching a baseball game and a guy was wearing his hat inside out. I laughed at him. My dad said it was called a rally cap. So I tried it. My poor mother...lol


Mom: What did you do to your hat?!?


Me: It's a rally cap :D


Mom: It's inside out!


Me: I saw it on tv mom, it's okay.
