the night the sky came crashing down

so, we have been pretty involved in and excited about byu basketball this year (as you can probably tell).  this has been an unprecedented season and it has been a lot of fun.  we have never been to so many games at the marriott center.  but, as life does, we were dealt a death blow last night when our starting forward was suspended for the remainder of the season for honor code violations.  we still have jimmer, but it's going to be harder to win and they have been talking about that all day on every news program.  we went from almost being a lock on the #1 west seed to not.  it's just basketball, so it shouldn't be that important, but it takes the wind right out of our sails.  i'm bitterly disappointed, as are thousands of other cougar fans. 

evan has been sleeping out at the marriott center with some of his friends since monday.  i'm sure they are having the time of their lives. 

i just hope they are doing homework.  seeing drew working on a laptop is a positive sign.

i've learned that often when things become bigger than life and we become so consumed with them, heavenly father has a way of bringing us back around to what is important.  maybe this is the case here.  maybe we were all too wrapped up in the jimmer and going to the final four.

craig and isaac are on their way to phoenix.  sam and i are flying down tonight and evan tomorrow.  can't wait to be warm!
