Loyal, strong & true - rise and shout Cougars!! College FB season is back!!!! :) BYU played U Va today -- we lost, but had a great time tailgating, hearing Greg Wrubell & Marc Lyons speak, meeting really nice U Va fans, and screaming our lungs out despite the crazy weather and stupid ACC refs!

The final weekend of travel has commenced and this time the girls are in Charlottesville, VA! This weekend BYU will play the University of Virginia in Charlottesville and thanks to their scheduling Jennifer and Jannette got to come up a day early. Tonight was the team fireside - which was amazing as always - there was even 2 special speakers.... 2 missionaries serving in the Charlottesville area who play on the team!

Tonight on our floor we celebrated (and cried a little) due to the retirement of one of the unit secretaries - Carolyn. We'll miss her around the floor but we're excited for the new found freedom she'll have now!

3 of Jennifer and Jannette's co-workers are headed to Barcelona today for an amazing trip. A trip both of the girl's should be on too. But due to work not giving them the time off... the trip had to be cancelled. We'll be excited to see pictures of the amazing ports, Spain, Disneyland Paris, and France but for now we're pouting, sulking a bit, licking our wounds and cat-sitting. Bon voyage MR, DH & JW!

Happy VMA night!!!! Justin Timberlake performed and received an award -- and brought *NSYNC to the stage to perform a song with him! For a second, we both went back to 1999 when boy bands were all the rage :) It was good to see them together again (even if pics of the TV screen aren't so good...).

Bye, bye, bye!

We stopped by 2 orchards on our way out of VA today - Stribling Orchard and Hartland Orchard. We've been to both before to pick fruit and had to go back since peaches and apples are in season currently. We even got to pick our own raspberries. YUM!!
