My brother Dallin decided to play football this year. He made JV team and also has a spot on Varsity. We haven't been able to see him play yet so we went down on Thursday for his JV game against Blue Ridge. We were so excited getting to see him play and it was even more exciting that it was our arch rival enemy school. Well, on our way down, we were just about out of town and suddenly we hear a squeeling sound on our car and we pull over and it turns out that we have a flat tire. Yay for memories I guess. We got the tire changed to the donut that we had in the car and then we went to Sam's Club and got it patched up. They told us that there was a big fat nail in the tire and that they were going to patch it. We waited around for a while and by the time the tire was done, it was too late to leave and get to the JV game. We would have missed it completely. So we decided to stay the night at home and leave the next morning.
So the next day, we left and got there around 1 or 2 and then dropped off our stuff and went into town to see my family. We hung out at their office for a while. It was Susan's and Dallin's birthday that week which was another reason we were trying to get there on Thursday. While we were there, talking to mom, she said that the game we missed last night was so awesome and I was so depressed the night before because we didn't get to see Dallin play, so it didn't help when they told me that he played awesome and also that the game was awesome. I got even more depressed but also excited because I did get to go to the game that night. My mom even had my brother's other jersey at the office and so I borrowed it and got to wear it for the game. I felt so special that I was wearing my brother's jersey.
Well, after hanging out for a while, we decided that we needed to go and visit Nate's mom. We hadn't seen her for a while and felt really bad we don't get to see her as much. We stayed and chatted for a little bit, but couldn't stay for very long because the West's invited us to go out to dinner and so we left and went and ate at Native New Yorker. YUMMY stuff! We have missed them alot and they are like another family to me so it was so fun to be with them.
After dinner, we headed up to the football game at Blue Ridge. Parking was ridiculous, but we found a pretty good spot and then got into the game and sat with my family. The game was really slow at first and it was pretty cold too, but I was having fun. My poor little brother, Brent, was not feeling really good though and my little sister, Susan, was really cold and would not put her gloves on, she is really stubborn, so my mom ended up leavnig the game early and listened to the game on the radio at the office.
The rest of the game wasn't really all that fun. We did get to stop and see the band, of course, since Nate and I are both band alumni, and got to see a few familiar faces. That part of football games are always fun. As the game kept going, I was getting more and more depressed about the fact that I wasn't going to get to see him play. Well, the game ended and we lost and Dallin didn't get to play at all. The coach was so mad though and I didn't even get to talk to Dallin after the game because they all had to go home on the bus. I was glad we got to go and support Dallin though.
Well, the next day, we were going to go to the temple for a session but both Nate and I got a little sick and didn't feel good at all, so we slept in a little bit and just tried to relax and then we went and visited Nate's Grandma Brewer then we went into town and did a little shopping for a birthday present for Dallin and then headed back out to Pinedale to give him his gift and just hang out for a little bit. Then, we were exhausted, so we went back to where we were staying and went right to bed. The next morning, we decided to go to sacrament meeting at Pinedale ward and see everyone there really quick and then we came back to Flagstaff so that we could do our callings in our ward. It was a really fun weekend and we had alot of fun. Football will be over soon for Dallin, but basketball starts up soon so we are excited to go for one of those games too.
