Yea!

We can't wait to welcome a new Whitchurch to the family in June. No, I'm not pregnant; but my sister-in-law is! Congratulations to Zach and Kate who are expecting a baby boy in June.

We are so happy for them and Gavin is excited to have another new cousin!

NEW CARPET!

Yesterday my wonderful husband spent his holiday moving furniture and sitting at home so we could have new carpet installed. I have been looking forward to this day for so long! I absolutely HATED our old carpet. It was flat, hard, dirty, stained and just plain gross. No matter how hard I tried to vacuum or clean, it never looked good.

Here is the before: this is the gross, ugly, dirty carpet.

And here is the after: the wonderfully soft, cushy, clean carpet!

Even though our bank account is now much lower I am so happy! It is such a great feeling when you can make your home look and feel nicer.

It's easy to see why this kid gets away with lots of things.

Thanks to Aunt Elise for Gavin's cute Christmas gift. Now if I'm feeling down I will put Gavin in this shirt and give myself a self-esteem boost!

BCS = Bull Crap Series

I would just like to say how disappointed I am in TCU. I don't like TCU; I can't stand Gary Patterson and I get so tired of seeing their fans do the 'horned frog' sign with their crooked fingers. It took a lot for me to cheer for them, and they completely choked!!!!!

I'm not usually the type that will cheer for any Mountain West team because it's "good for the conference." However, TCU needed to win last night because now they have embarrased our conference! They go through the season dominating everyone and last night they looked like an amateur team. The team that played last night was definitely not the same team that beat Utah in November. When I watched them overpower our Utes I thought, "this team could play with anyone in the country and probably win." I definitely didn't think that last night.

I don't like Boise State. I think they are a good team but I definitely don't think they deserve to be ranked as high as they are. Their conference is even weaker than ours but now that TCU rolled over and played dead the MWC will continue to be viewed as sub-par.

Boo to the Horned Frogs for not taking advantage of your shot at the big-time. I guess you need to take lessons from the Utes on how to properly bust the BCS and actually make it count for something!
