Meanwhile, In My Other Life...



This week was our final regular season home game for football.  It was a pretty exciting night, as it was "if we win we claim the Region championship, if not we are in 4th place for the tournament."   And to top it off, a local news station set up camp in the south end zone and broadcast live from our stadium for their Game Night Live.  The did a half hour show prior to kick off highlighting our school as well as the other statewide high school football games going one this week.

The best part for me was the presentation of a little gift basket from the PTSA.  I put together a little basket with 2 T-shirts and 2 SnowFire hats thinking the two guys hosting the show would get into the spirit of a HS game and wear them while they are there.  But they are seemingly too far above us--and must receive gifts at every stop they make.  I arrived while they ere setting up (about 5 PM) and introduced myself to one host, Rod Zundel, and explained I had this basket for him and the other host, Jeremiah Johnson, but asked me to bring it back during the show and have the cheerleaders give it to him on the air.

Well, I had a YW thing I had to do that would take until about halftime, so I'd miss it, but I took the basket to my co-president and she had her lovely daughter Emily and one of her friends (who happens to be one of our YW in my stake), Abbey, to make the presentation along with the cheerleaders who--apparently from Rod's attitude always bring him cakes.  Well, on air (you can watch it above) the cheerleaders DIDN'T bring him treats and our little T-shirt and hat basket was all that they got.  And the girls were SO good to specifically say that this was from the PTSA.  Love it!

So thanks to Emily and Abbey for looking so great and doing that so well for me!  And thanks to Juliet for getting the girls there to make the presentation.  And thanks to KSL for coming down to bless us with your presence.  And thanks football team for a memorable year--even if you lost.
