Niku Gets Hitched!

There are those friends in college whom you hope you will know forever.  Niku is one of those friends.  My best friend from those college days who I don't see often enough.  But when she called and said she was getting married I said "I'll be there!"  Thanks to my family who let me fly out to Sacramento for the weekend.  Friday night was the American-style bachelorette party downtown.  Saturday was the Indian family "Sangeet" (which explains Niku's outfit) which was hosted by her side of the family.  Sunday was the "official" day and Niku and Andrew had both a Hindu ceremony to celebrate her heritage and a traditional western ceremony.  Of course, we finished the evening dancing to "I Will Survive"!

Football Season

Ahhhh, the smell of football season is in the air.  I just go giddy with excitement thinking about it.  Especially because as of now my Utes are 2-0 and BYU lost yesterday.  EXCELLENT!

A few months ago, right after Utah announced their move to the Pac-10 (12-Pac as I like to call it), the Boise Chapter of the University of Utah Alumni Association invited Coach Kyle Whittingham to Boise for a football update.  No way did I miss that!  He was so motivating I was ready to wrestle a 300-pound lineman myself just after hearing him talk.
 

Here's my photo with the HANDSOME Coach Whittingham!

Here is the hat I won in the raffle, signed by the AWESOME coach,
which is too small and which I should give to one of my kids,
but is instead on prominent display in my KeyBank office!

And here is a link to one of my favorite videos of the kids, singing the Utah fight song.  It might be from November 2008, but it never gets old!
