In October, I organized a group of Colorado Cougar fans to go cheer on the Cougars at the game against San Jose State. It was a really fun weekend, but it didn't get off to a good start. Our flight was delayed 6 hours and we finally left the Denver just before midnight. We were really tired and a little cranky, but we got 2 good things out of it--seeing our good friend, Jamie Dunn, who we hadn't seen since we lived in Texas, and $100 vouchers.
Friday night we took some of Kristina's college friends out for pizza, and then we went to see the Homecoming Spectacular. A terrific show with lots of the different performing groups--even the guest artist, Brian Stokes Mitchell--was impressed with BYU's talented performing groups.
Saturday, we went to the Homecoming Parade. While we waited for the parade to start, we were hanging around with the folk dance team. They had the music cranked up and were dancing some Israeli dances and it really was a PARTY. We were glad Kristina is part of a fun group like that. We started out getting ready to watch her from one place in the parade, but she was dancing on the opposite side, so we followed the parade. We could hardly keep up with them as they ran between each stop (in character shoes!)
That afternoon, I had arranged a tour of the new broadcast facility which truly is amazing! We saw the radio and website developers floor this time and the thousands of CD's of classical music they have for the Classical radio channel.

That night it was pretty chilly and an 8:15 pm game time start so we didn't make it for the whole game, but the highlight was getting to go on the field and shoot the cannon! It was hard to pull, but finally it went off on the 3rd try. So cool! We even got a t-shirt that said, I shot George Q, and a picture with Cosmo!
