Senior Night

P & I were excited to attend Senior Night at BYU. Since volunteering to pass out bags of chips a few years ago we were anxious to attend as real, official guests.

It was pretty darn cool and just one more testament to how awesome and unique BYU is. The door we walked in had a sign-up sheet to play the newlywed game, so we signed up. Then we headed over for our free pizza and hamburgers, chips, pop, & BYU creamery ice-cream. After chowing down, we went to the terrace to check out the booths and games there. Then lines were pretty long and after we went through one, we realized it was time for our newlywed game. (Newlywed was defined as 10 years or less...to accommodate more students.. :)) We ended up missing all but one question in the first round, but won since we got the BIG question of the 2nd. (What is your husband's comfort food? ....CHEETOS.) We almost felt bad since another couple got every single question right except a little one and the BIG one. But not too bad. After all, we have 2 kids. We needed the prize (they agreed :P): A cinemark giftcard and a giftcard to Chillis/Macaroni Grill. WOOOOOOOOOT. awe.some.

At the end of the night they did a big drawing for tons of prizes like..blenders, camping gear, picture frames, coolers w/ picnic gear, crockpots, dishes, movies, etc. I was hoping for a blender (we STILL don't have one)...but, we won an ipod speaker dock! yessss! It was awesome. I think i may be lucky. Like really. Patrick and I discussed this on our way home. During a music conference in Norway, I was featured in a front page, giant colored photo in the city paper. And I was interviewed at Notre Dame Cathedral for tv about Catholic Youth Days. And sometimes I just start to get this feeling that Im going to win. Like at evan's jazz night. I knew I was going to win. and I did. and the senior night. I was pretty sure I was going to win. and I did. And Patrick. I was pretty sure I was going to win him. and I did. See? LUCKY, i tell ya.

Oh, and why was the whole thing a testament to BYU's uniqueness/awesomeness? Where else would a whole school celebrate have a senior party with no alcohol, no skankiness, lots of kids, newlywed games, and give out G and PG movies, blenders, crockpots, gamping gear, picnic sets, frames that say FAMILY, etc.? exactly. It was awesome. and everybody had a blast. sober. Perfect. I love BYU.

Anyways. It was a super fun night and a great way to celebrate seniordom. Thanks SO MUCH Theodore's for watching our kiddos!! It was a great break for us.

Cecil is our homeboy! (yes, he approved the Cecil is my homeboy t-shirts, asked for one, wore it around, and thumbs-upped some guy who yelled such statement..)


the pizza boxes in the dumpster. It takes a lot of pizza to feed starving seniors and their families...
