"Football is just a game. What matters is what you play for."
*****
I think that it is quite fitting that my first blog post would include a football picture. Yes, I LOVE football! Yesterday, I drove to Rexburg to visit my younger sister, Krystle. We had a great time! We went to dinner at Wingers (I love "sticky fingers"), went shopping (we both have some new cute shoes), and went to the movie, The Express. I had heard good things about this movie, but I thought it was even better than what people had told me. Ernie Davis has become an inspiration for me. He lived a wonderful life, amid many challenges. I was not prepared for how the movie would end; it helped me recommit to do something with my life that I have felt I've needed to do for some time, but have been sluggish with. I am so thankful for the lives of others that are a positive influence for the rest of us. I am also grateful to those people who help share the stories of these people's lives. Thank you!

You first blog post, I'm so proud! It was a wonderful balance of information and inspiration. You've successfully motivated me to go and see the movie so hurry back so we can go. Ta. Congratulations!

So great to see you are a blogger. I don't think I have seen you since we did splits on your mission. I really want to see that movie. I think we will go see it soon. I have heard lots of good things about it. It is so good to see you and we should get together since I am just in SLC. I too love football and my UTES are doing great :)

Devonee-I'm not sure how I found your blog, but it will be fun to keep up with you through it! I am so sorry about your car-it makes me wonder why people do the things that they do. I am sure it was nothing personal-just random! It does make you feel vulnerable, tho. It was fun to see you in RS last week and I appreciate your insight into things. I promise I don't really teach that much, only the days you are there! Lucky YOU!! :) Austin is reporting his mission tomorrow which is probably why it is 3:23 am and I can't sleep! Oh, the joys of worryng! All of my family is here, even Derek and Kristi from Maine! I love it! Take Care and come home more often!! Love ya! Dianne
