Deck the Halls



We decorated for Christmas the other night!  We put up the tree and hung the stockings and I was loving every second of it...but the one thing missing was Roger Whittaker on the iPod whistling those sweet sounds of Christmas.  


I bought our very first Nativity set last night.  I haven't done a lick of Christmas shopping yet, that's my plan this weekend!  I can't wait to bring all the purchases home and wrap, wrap wrap!  That is one of my favorite things to do.

Jazz vs Suns




So this last Monday Liz and I went to the Jazz game. They were playing the aging but still entertaining Phoenix Suns. They are probably the only team we root for besides the Jazz mostly because of that fire cracker Steve Nash. Watching him play is like watching little kids open presents on christmas morning you cant help but smile. Its kind of weird that a 6'2 white guy from Canada was the NBA MVP 2 years in row. So we were running a little late to the game but running late to a game is completely normal for us. Hey it was a Monday and we were both a little tired so please save your judgments for when you're watching your favorite reality show. So we didn't have time to grab anything to eat before the game so we decided to just get something at halftime and what we got was more than any man could ask for.

We ran down to the lower bowl to find some crap to push in our faces when an angel of a man tapped me on my shoulder and from the second he touched me I knew I would never forget him. He asked me and Liz how many people we had in our party? And when he was doing this I couldn't help but notice he was holding two tickets in his left hand. I was trying not to sound too eager when I told him it was just me and the mrs but as I said this my hand was slowly defying what my brain was telling it not to do and was going up to grab the tickets. After we told him he asked us if we wanted to take his tickets because him and his girlfriend were leaving then a huge choir of angels began singing and he told us that his seats are on the 3rd row and we could just go on down there and enjoy the game. We said we would have to think about it and that we would call when we made our decision. Of course thats a lie. We gladly accepted and then simultaneously peed our pants. He handed me the tickets and we looking them over and saw that they were $477.00 a seat we couldn't believe it. All the love and respect I had for that man went right down the toilet, only one flush needed. Who would spend close to a thousand dollars on tickets and leave at halftime? Oh are you feeling ill? Did you forget to set the tivo to record dancing with the stars? But I couldn't dwell on what his problems were because at that point I didnt have a problem in the world.

So we started skipping down the stairs to our seats lower and lower. We actually had to go on to the court to get to our seats and that is just a great feeling. When we were walking on the court the two teams were warming up and walked over to Boozer and said "hey Booz, listen the only thing about Shaq you have to worry about is the smell!" He laughed really hard and said "thats why I have these earplugs shoved up my nose!" And he really did have them up there. Then we both laughed again then he hugged me and I walked away. I could tell Korver was jealous but if he isnt going to make an effort, Im not going to make and effort. So we finally get to our seats and they are amazing. I couldnt breathe for the first ten minutes.We were sitting right across from the Suns bench. Right behind Larry H. Millers seats. Its a total diffrent game down there you can hear them yell at each other you can see so much of what is really going on. And Shaq is a freak. He is so big when you are close up. So to top it all off the Jazz beat the Suns. It was one of the greatest nights me and Liz have had with the Jazz but it will get surpassed this spring when they finally get that championship. Go Jazz.

Vegas Vacation








Andy and I headed to Las Vegas a few weekends ago as a postponed Anniversary trip. We had such a great time! We went all out and rented a red Mustang convertible to drive around—let’s just say that was Andy’s favorite part of the trip! We did a lot of shopping and saw one of our favorite bands, Kings of Leon, in concert at the Hard Rock Hotel.

My highlight of the trip was seeing the Neil Diamond tribute. So it wasn’t “the real Neil” but it was the Neil you want to see. The impersonator (Jay White) did this whole Neil Diamond tribute and it was amazing! He played all the good Neil songs that we all love. I only wish the whole Bush fam could have been there singing “Cracklin’ Rosie” with us.

Blogging about Blogs


Well since my sweet little wife already thinks she is a blogger--even without her having her own blog, we decided to take the plunge into the world wide web and start our very own Boyer Blog. 

For the past six months or so a few times a week Liz will mention things that she think she should blog about. Things like: "if the world was 10% more considerate there would be 50% less stress and problems", "the right and wrong way to write an email at work", "Utah seemed safer when Dick Nourse read the news, am I right?" and "going through the transition from sno cones to hot chocolate." So there is some of the insight that you will be getting from this blog in the future. And maybe I'll be feeding you guys some knowledge dipped nuggets along the way as well so stay tuned.
