Resolutions

Most people wait until the new year to make "new years resolutions," but that is why I love my husband. He is constantly making resolutions to be a better man. Some resolutions are much more practical than others. Lately he has resolved to eat 3000 kcals per day to prevent the school year stress induced weight loss that has occurred the last two years. The other interesting resolution is he has decided that he no longer is going to check all the football blogs. Many of you may not know that Hyrum is an avid football fan. He doesn't watch tons of games all of the time for which I am grateful, but he does love the BYU cougars and likes to know what they are doing at all times. Luckily I am also a cougar fan though not quite so hardcore. He needs to check the blogs in the winter because he needs to know about all the new recruits, in the spring because spring ball is happening, in the summer to get the pre-season hype and strategies, etc, and in the fall... well duh. So lately Hyrum has fretted that he is wasting time. He is not a time waster I argue however. Everyone needs a two minute break now and then and what better way to veg out than to check out how some big brawny muscle men are bashing each others brains out. (I am still sore from when the football team would close the weight room for their special practices and I couldn't do my measly cross-country weight lifting routine.) He has been very good all week and has not checked a single blog. I have to say, I am beginning to miss it. How will I know what is happening with Harvey Unga? Or what their strategy for beating the Utes is this year. Hmm... maybe he will change his mind. :)

His no blog-checking luckily doesn't translate to no game watching. Here we are having a great time at the BYU vs. UW game. Hyrum, a current grad student at University of Washington was very happy to see his old cougs sneak a win by his current Husky schoolmates.
