the basement
Okay so living in the basement is really starting to get to me. Don't get me wrong, I love having the free rent and the family around isn't so bad; but man, it is kind of depressing. We only live in the front part of the house, which would be wonderful but most of our windows are blocked by bushes, rose bushes, or more bushes. I think Sean and I may be very close to hitting the brink. Sean has started to look for a job ranging from anywhere out of Utah Valley to outside the US and I couldn't be more supportive. He will graduate in April and then we will see what happens for the next year. I feel a little weary because I graduate in December; hence, I need to get a real job before he graduates. Who knows what I am really supposed to do, but I wouldn't mind ditching some job if it meant we could live above ground. I'm really not sure how some people in our ward have lived in the same basement for like 8 years. Oh wait, yes I do. They have bright walls (not dark wooded paneling), deep set windows that don't constantly allow dirt in if they are opened, and beautiful decorations instead of 70 year old couches.

the games
Sean and I finally made it to a game! It was the Lobos v. BYU and we womped them. I didn't call Kenz to gloat because the Lobos 1. actually scored (!!!) and 2. kept us back pretty well. Although the ending was great for BYU. Sean was being camera shy and making fun of me for getting ready (makeup) and taking pictures. But it was way fun. We had a good time yelling our hearts out. (Sean was trying to loose his voice as a more legit reason for showing a movie to teach sunday school. He is the only teacher right now, and even I am starting to feel bad for him when saturday rolls around.) The game was freezing, it snowed on us the next day (luckily nothing like in IF!) and i'm upset because I don't want to go running in such cold weather!
Right now I am trying to work on ideas to get the YW girls excited for personal progress. Any ideas? We have the young women in excellence night coming up soon, and they haven't done anything all year. So I am not sure what I am supposed to have them showcase... but it will be rockin' I'm sure.
