False Hopes

I absolutely love the fall!! It's such a fun season! I love the warm sweaters, football games, pumpkin carving, leaves changing colors, the crisp cool air, the smell of hot apple cider, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, costumes, decorations, trick-or-treaters, and yummy treats! Whenever this wonderful season approaches, I always think of Linus from the Peanuts Gang. It always bothered me that he spent every Halloween night waiting for the Great Pumpkin instead of trick-or-treating, and yet the Great Pumpkin never came. His friends always criticized him for believing in that sort of stuff, but Linus never gave up hope. He remained optimistic despite all odds. He always knew the Great Pumpkin was going to bring candy and toys for all the little children. Some may say Linus had unrealistic expectations. But I always had a small kindle of hope that the Great Pumpkin was going to come just for him. Linus is my favorite character in the Peanuts Gang because he always remained positive and looked on the bright side of things. During the fall season I try to be like Linus, because winter is right around the corner...and I am not looking forward to bitter cold months ahead!

Gotta love Utah Football!

What would autumn be like if there was no football?? Pretty boring if you ask me! If you come over to our apartment, I guarantee you we have a football game on TV. Dan and I love going to the Utah football games. This is our last year in the Mighty Utah Student Section (tear), so we are living it up this season! Of course, no football game would be complete without a tailgate party. We are always at the Muss tailgating party as soon as it starts! You could call us die hard Utah fans, but honestly, we just like getting the free food, haha. Our seats are amazing! We are on the 12th row right next to the families of the football players. They always sit down, so we have a clear view of the new and improved football field. Our entire lives are consumed of football during the fall season, but it makes life interesting. I know more about the game of football than I ever have in my entire life, all thanks to Dan :-). All I can say is, I am stoked about the blackout game on Halloween night! It's going to be awesome!! Enjoy these pics of us at the fabulous game against Louisville. Go Utes!!
