Congratulations Dad!!!

Garrit finally received his score for the last CPA exam and he passed!!! Yea, Clara and I couldn't be happier, we finally get daddy back!  I threw Garrit a surprise party on Friday and totally pulled it off.  For those of you who know Garrit well you know this was quite a feat. I called Garrit at noon and told him I was really sick and I was going to head home.  I told him he had to Clara after work.  At 3:00 he called and told he was having Erin pick up Clara because he was going to have to work late.  I almost had a heart attack! So I pulled the sick card again, I called him at 4:00 and asked him how late he was going to work, and wined about how sick I was and could he get home so I didn't have to deal with Clara.  He said he could probably leave at 5:30/6:00 (Which was fine cause that was when I planned on him being home).  So when he finally showed up at home I had Erin make up a story about being in the back with the girls and she brought him around back and SURPRISE!! He totally jumped and was completely shocked!  We had a great time with our friends and family!  (And by the way Garrit, you totally deserve the pat on the back!)

Go Utes!!!


The University of Utah played Oregon State on October 2, of course we were there in our seats for the whole game.  I feel sorry for those fans who decided the game was over and left.  With 2:12 left in the game we were down by 8 ( I have to admit I was thinking about packing it up, but as Baba says we don't leave until its 0:00 you never know what will happen).  We got the ball and marched it down the field 60 yards for a touch down, so what do you do?  Go for 2 of course!  Got an interference call and then Brian Johnson our quarterback ran it it for the two point conversion.  Oregon State had the ball and our amazing defense forced a 3 and out!! So we got the ball back and marched it down the filed again with 0:01 left on the clock our kicker Louie Sakoda kicked a field goal and the Utes won the game 31-28!  It was an amazing end to an awesome game.  My voice is still shot from screaming.
