true madness

The following is a completely true story, with no embellishments:
Wednesday afternoon I was at lunch with my friend Heather and had just finished to get back in my car and find about 7 missed calls from Paul and one text that read: "call me! i'm going to the BYU game!" Excuse me? you mean the BYU Sweet 16 basketball game that was to be played the next day at 7:30 (ET) in Lousiana?!
Yes. Turns out that one precisely. I call Paul back and he is literally right then pulling up to his friend's house to get him and meet up with 2 other friends to embark on their journey to the Sweet 16. And then he says, "So umm, can I go?" 4 guys, driving to the game, from Utah, had to leave right away to even make it to the game on time! The game the next day! They found tickets for "cheap" online and they were ready to go. There wasn't even time to drive the opposite direction to our house to get things for Paul so he left with only the clothes he was wearing and borrowed item from friends.
So, me being the best wife ever, said "yah... i guess you can go" (since it was pretty much too late anyways, and not without attaching a huge YOU OWE ME)

and oh what a game. People really didn't play up to their full potential. It was full of highs and lows. Caitlin and I had a fun time watching with the Baileys, eating home made pizza and watching it on the projector big screen! Paul was able to get his hands on 9th row tickets and see the heartbreak on Jimmer's face in person. He also had his .5 seconds of fame when it showed the crowd sometime toward the end of the second quarter.

 

 ..and then he got in the car and drove 30 hours back home. Cougs, it was a good run.
