BYU vs. Tulsa

Scott and I drove up with one of Scott's buddies to Tulsa, OK to watch the Cougars play the Golden Hurricanes with faith in our hearts that there was NO way the Cougars could blow this game. Were we ever wrong! We couldn't play defense to save our lives and to top that off we thought we'd be Christian and spot them about 24 pts. (interceptions & lack of defense) and see if we could still win. Not an excellent plan! We also found great fun in chalking up the penalties: personal fouls and false starts GALORE, even a token pass interference as the offense! It was a nail-bitter--neck and neck the entire game.
Despite the dismal turnout of the game: Tulsa 55 BYU 47, we had a fun trip. It probably wasn't the best idea for my legs to walk around that much and sit on bleachers for 3 1/2 hrs. not to mention the 10 hours total travel time in the car, the colder weather with no jackets and the 2:30 a.m. bedtime. But we got to meet an awesome family in Oklahoma City (in-laws of Scott's buddy Ben who drove us up and back in his car) who graciously provided a bed for me to sleep in!
It was also very healing for my spirit. Our kids stayed at home with a wonderful couple whom they ADORE! They enjoyed every minute of their time with them, and tried to convince us to leave when they came home from church and saw us home already! I had an entire day filled with tantalizing adult conversation and no child responsibilities! It was glorious!
