BYU PLAYS AT THE DOME OF SUPERNESS

Rise and shout...the Cougars and the Sigetys are out!! haha

John and Ellen (John's parents) drove in from Dallas to go to the game with us this past weekend. We had a blast watching BYU beat Tulane 54 to 3! For the recap of the game you can go to ESPN.com, but for a recap of the happenings in the stands...look no further than this very post on our blog. lol You can rest assured fellow but far away BYU fans - we did our part as loyal Alumni in Louisiana. John led the crowd in singing BYU's fight song after every touchdown, we took a picture with Cosmo, and made sure to yell "That's Another Cougar...FIRST DOWN!" at all appropriate moments.
Ra-Ra-RaRaRa Ra-Ra-RaRa Ra-Ra-RaRaRaRa GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COUGARS!!

GO BYU!

THE COUGARS RIDE THE GREEN WAVE

Last Saturday BYU came to New Orleans for the BYU vs. Tulane game! John and I were in charge of coordinating a tailgate party for members of our church and for fans in the area. Here's the kicker though - we were told to plan for about 500 people at this tailgate - AND ALL 500 OF THOSE PEOPLE SHOWED UP!! Check John and I out in these pics we took at Wal-mart when we bought the supplies. And for the record - pushing twenty 24-packs of water from the back of Wal-mart to the check-out works muscles I didn't even know existed.

THE SAINTS GO TO THE SAINTS GAME

Tickets from a friend to the last Saints pre-season football game: $0.00
Parking 6 blocks away in a sketchy area: $20.00
Walking up to section 600 on the 4th deck: 327 calories
Nachos from the Superdome: $7.00 and 420 calories
Spending time with John watching football and drunk people try to walk up stairs: PRICELESS


WE WENT TO THE SUPERDOME! Our seats were in the nose-bleeds, but the view was surprisingly GREAT of both the field and some hilarious fans! We sat on an isle and watched drunk fans make their way up the stairs all night. lol And through this people watching came a burning question: Why on earth do they fill glasses of beer so full at sporting events?? John and I were dodging Bud Light splashes every time someone made their way back to their seat. hehe If the top 1/4th of the beer is going to spill anyway...why fill it to the brim to begin with? I guess since I don't drink alcohol I won't have to worry about paying for a full beer only to spill 1/4 of it before even taking a sip. Instead I will most likely sip safely a totally full sprite that probably came with a lid. LOL Who knew this Latter-day Saint could learn so much from a Saints game. Enoy the pics :)

SATURDAY EXPLORATION - THE FRENCH QUARTER

A couple Saturdays ago, John stopped his studying to go on a brief exploration of the French Quarter with me. Here is a glimpse of the balconies that are EVERYWHERE. So cool.


After we walked around for a while...we decided to stop at Johnny's Po-boy shop for a classic New Orleans lunch. For all those of you non-New Orleanians...I will define a po-boy for you: A loaf of french bread sliced in half and generously stuffed with the meat of your choice. What's that you say? This po-boy of which I speak sounds like nothing more than a sandwich? The Californian in me says "Correct oh savvy blog reader!" But now I am a New Orleans woman, and have quickly learned that once you cross the Louisianna border - you are in po-boy territory and a sandwich of meat and bread is no longer simply a sandwich. It's a tradition. It's a food staple. It's what's for lunch. haha

BACK TO SCHOOL

I know I still need to follow up on my last "apartment makeover" post, but we've had some fun times recently that deserve blog status. And frankly, I haven't remembered to take any pictures of our apartment when it's actually clean. Sure, I think about taking pictures...but its always when the apartment is a mess. So think of these next few posts as an extended commercial break from "Extreme Makeover - Apartment Edition." I'll try not to drag out the results Ryan Seacrest Style for too much longer. And in the mean time...Have a look at John Rowe Sigety on his first day of Law School. And yes - he carries a lunchbox.
