UTAH STATE BASKETBALL
I am so excited to finally cheer on a team/sport at Utah that actually has a chance of winning! Our basketball team is awesome...but the fans are super mean. We could rival the Jazz fans! I am not even kidding BYU will not come up to our venue to play us because of the fans/students. We memorize who does air balls and then as if they didn't remember, every time they touch the ball we chant "air ball, air ball..." until they pass it to someone who hasn't thrown one. Also there is a group of students right behind the basket yelling "you-you-you suck." We do a few other things but I just can't remember right now...I'll tell you after the next game.

Something I realized is that when I am angry and someone decides to bug me or correct me, I am really mean. I was at the women's basketball game (the girls aren't that good) and it had just ended so my friend and I were going to walk around before the guys game started. After a little while I realized that I no longer had my phone so we decided to go back to where our seats were and check there. So we get down there and a girl is telling me that I can't sit on that row over and over again. Finally I look up at her and say in the rudest way possible "Ok! I get that, I was sitting here during the girls game and I'm looking for my phone." Pretty much I yelled that at her, but hey she was driving me crazy
JUST MY LUCK
The other day I decided that I should park on the street because I wasn't sure if Eugena would be coming home, but she didn't so I parked my car in the garage later. The next day I get in my car and start driving and it felt like I was somewhat in neutral, so I got out of my car and check my tires and of course one was flat. After classes I called AAA and they came and put on my spare tire (they are awesome thank goodness for my AAA card) and we found out that there was a nail in my tire. After my spare was put on I went over to discount tires to see if there was any chance that they could patch the hole, but thinking that I would have to pay a lot to get a new one with my luck or that it would cost me a lot (the day before I had just made my car payment for the next two months thinking that I would have enough money). Thankfully they were able to fix my tire and put it back on for me....and that isn't even the best part about it...they did it for FREE!!! They are my new favorite tire place.
JORDAN ALUMNI GAME
For the past few years we have had a girls Jordan lacrosse alumni game Thanksgiving morning. This year was a lot better because first off I didn't have to call everyone thanks to facebook...the only downside is that at 9am it was raining. Thankfully girls still showed up and we had 19 girls eventually make it. We played the oldies vs. the newbies (anyone still in high school). Of course the oldies dominated!!! It was fun because we ended up playing for 2 hours and Fish (Tribal West Owner/Soni my old coach's husband) played goalie while Soni watched with her new little boy. The weird part was playing against Hayley...oh and by the way congrats to her for making varsity as a freshman!
THANKSGIVING
This year was an off year for the entire family. At our house it ended up being Hayley, my mom and dad, me, Grandma and Grandpa Erickson, DD and her friend, and my cousin Britt. Just in case you are all wondering DD is Druggy Debbie, one of my parents friends they met from working at the prison (Her last name is Larsen to so we had to make a distinction). So DD and her friend are really weird and I was glad that they didn't stay long! Later on it got better because my family played canasta which is what we do best (we really love playing card games). Then finally at about midnight I went to sleep.
BLACK FRIDAY
My family has kind of made a tradition of participating in black Friday. I will tell you this the best people to go with are those who aren't afraid to yell at strangers to get in the back of the line..i.e. Rachel and my cousin Syd. This year we were up at 2:30am and standing in line at Kohl's by 2:50am...at 4:00am the doors finally opened and we rushed to get what we needed. After Kohl's we went to Walmart, Old Navy, Southtown Mall and Target; finally we finished our shopping at 8:00am (the thing that takes the longest are the lines). The craziest store to shop in is Walmart because they let you in the store so everyone looks for the item they want and then stands around it (you can't open the wrapped boxes until 5 when it opens, and they have big guys standing there to make sure you don't take anything early), we got there a minute before and right at 5 people went crazy.
