Zoobies in Tulsa

There isn't too much to do here in the midwest so when we found out that BYU was playing Tulsa in Tulsa we jumped on the Mormon bandwagon and headed 3 hours south to Tulsa Oklahoma to watch our beloved Cougars play. Since we are wild and crazy we decided to go down a night early because the football team was having a devotional. There was no way of missing the chance of being that close to the team. I felt like the biggest groupie because the team's flight was late making them late to the devotional leaving us sitting in the church just singing hymns. I'm sure the next plan for stalling surely would have been putting our arms around the person next to us and swaying back and forth singing "We will be together forever some day," but the team finally made it. The devotional was actually really uplifting and we are very glad we went early. That was a positive experience, but the game, not so much. The Cougs lost!!! This is probably the only time I ever see my sweet husband show his emotions. He gets red hot with anger when they don't perform well. Oh well we had lots of fun!




We drove down and shared a room with the Oman's. It was a great experience. We chatted, laughed, became really familiar with Sarah's gas, and of course played games. We love the Oman's! Oh and sorry about the speeding ticket Jim :)


This is what Travis usually does with his spare time on trips.

Before the game there was a huge tail gaiting party for all the BYU alumni. I'm sure you are picturing casseroles and noodle salads, but you would be wrong. They had BBQ catered (people must be paying their tithing these days). We went to Tulsa with 6 other couples; a very fun group. You know its a very small Mormon world when you run into a bunch of old friends from college. Trav even ran into an old mission companion. It was quite the zoo just like BYU was back in the day.


Travis... you got some 'splaining to do, whose baby is that? Even though the Cougs lost, we got to hang out with our favorite midwestern twins. Sadie and Samantha. They were troopers through the whole night. (PS The man wearing the UTAH sweatshirt is their dad, but we don't claim him, he actually wore that to the BBQ in a sea of blue. He is an avid UTAH fan, but like I said there isn't a lot to do in the midwest so sometimes people will do anything for a road trip)
