A Perfect Day

All the stars aligned and made today well... my favorite. Chip Kiser scoring his first and amazing try in Utah Rugby, BYU beating Oklahoma and finally the icing on the cake- USA SOCCER BEATING EL SAVADOR!

Casey and I started the day off attending Utah Rugby's first game of the season. We got to see the youngest Kiser take the field and continue the tradition of being a Ute Rugby player. It was crazy seeing him out on the field, I mean this is the same kid I met when he was in middle school and into ballroom dance! He played hard and got his first try! Go Chip!



Next- USA Soccer! I was insistent that Casey and I get flags to wave at the game so we took a quick trip to Zurchers (the flags were only $1 if anyone is interested!)! I almost suckered Casey into getting an Uncle Sam suit to wear!!! Instead we just got our flags to show some pride! Casey thought I was kinda crazy but I had to bring my clappers to the game! (they light up... how cool is that!). We headed to the game and the chanting began. U-S-A!!! We got amazing seats... 2nd row!!! What a game to be on the second row. We got to get close-ups on every corner kick and a private dance show! Altidore and Davies gave us a little show after scoring the second goal! They were right infront of us doing there victory dance... we went crazy!












While at the game I made friends with some BYU fans behind us... during the games we were giving each other updates. She and Casey were receiving BYU updates on the game! And as you probably already know BYU WON!!!! Words can not express what that wins mean to me! I went straight home and watched highlights online as well as on sports news. WHAT A WIN! Beating #3 Oklahoma... AH! Nothing can get me down tonight!!! Casey was on such a high from the USA soccer game he didn't even mind how excited I was about the BYU win! Plus, he is turning over a new leaf... he is trying to be positive. His comment: "This win just makes Utah look better!" He never loses focus!

All in all.... AMAZING! There is nothing like winning!

Ummm...AWESOME!!! And I don't know what I love more the fact that BYU and USA both won OR that MY SISTER is so cool that she found USA flags for a buck!!! The pride is so overwhelming.
