Are you serious?

On February 9th 2009, I was just meandering on KSL.com as I do every day and came across an article heading that read, “Utah lawmakers call for football playoff system.” I actually went and read this title for a second time to verify what my mind thought I saw. It was true; our Utah State Lawmakers have the time, resources, the justification and the guts to take time in this very tumultuous time in this economical history to worry about a trophy and name recognition. Utah shocked everyone and made Utah proud by not only beating Alabama, but crushing them in a National Bowl game which proved their determination as a college football team. They also ended the ’09 season undefeated. That being said and not to take away from their success… it’s a game, just like monopoly, Pictionary, and thumb wars. Can you imagine the Utah Lawmakers gathering together to discuss whether or not there should be a state or national level playoff system for thumb wars? Let me help… NO!!!! That was easy, and I have no experience as a law maker. Just food for thought in our wasteful, inefficient, and ridiculous world we live in. Even with these actions, as a major concern for me in the future of our Nation… I must still say… “God Bless The USA.” At least I can still write my opinion.

Loved Ones

This weekend I had the opportunity to reflect on Life in general. Friday evening, there was a bad pile up on I-15 in southern Utah, in which multiple cars and 18 wheelers were involved. There was only one death and that was of an 18 month old baby boy. It is so unfortunate how quickly life and the lives of the ones we love can be so abruptly taken away from us. As I saw the picture of this baby boy, I couldn't help but think of my little Millie and the happiness she has brought the ones around her. Life has an interesting way of humbling us and helping us realize the things that are truly important to us. I am so thankful that Millie is in such a loving home and has such a fantastic family, including her mother Lisa and siblings.
