I have lived in Provo for a total of 3 years now, and until yesterday had never been to a BYU football game. Everybody who found out that I had never been told me how I was missing out on something great. So, Bryan and I broke down and bought some tickets and went to the BYU vs. UCLA game yesterday. I can now say that I have been to a game, and will never go again. Seriously I must have been missing something because it was not all that people have talked it up to be. I guess I have to preface my story with the the fact that I did run 17 miles before going to the game, so I was needless to say, a little tired.
Bryan and I absolutely hate any kind of traffic, so we decided to ride bikes to the game with my little brother Eric, who lives with us. I think that was the highlight of the game for me. :) When we got to the stadium it was so hot, and so crowded. Then we found our seats, but didn't get to sit down because everybody stands the ENTIRE game. Seriously, what is the point in standing?!!! So we stood in the crowded stadium with sun beating down on us for like 3 hours, and we even left early! (BYU was up like a ridiculous amount to zero...I can't even remember the score, that is how much fun I was having) When we got home I had a farmers tan and felt so dehydrated! That is when I told Bryan I had no desire to ever go to another football game. Poor Bryan loves football, and married me, who can't sit through an entire football game to save my life!
But, my adventurous day didn't stop after the game! My brother and sister in law Russ and Marie were coming down from Salt Lake to go mountain biking with us, and I didn't want to be a bum and stay home, so I decided to go despite being really tired. I had a feeling it would be a bad idea, but I wasn't sure it was a bad idea until we were riding, and I was so wobbly on my bike because I was so tired. So, there was a big root in the trail that I hit the wrong way and did a front flip over my handlebars....it was at that moment that I was positive that mountain biking was a bad idea after running 17 miles, and then standing in the sun for 3 hours! :) Oh well, I survived with minor scrapes and bruises, and I learned my lesson!

Ashley, you amaze me so much. I am so proud of you and your training for the marathon. I believe football games are more fun when you can sit and you have another girl around to talk to. It is not to much fun when your husband ignores you because he is so into the game. Also, I can see you flipping over your handle bars, I hope everything is okay. I think it is an Andersen thing, cause your brother rolled down the stairs at BYU after stepping on a bad step. Love you.
