BYU vs Wyoming

Stockton called me this morning and asked if I wanted two tickets to the BYU football game today. Yes I did! I got my dad to go with me and it was so much fun. Alyssa's dad has legacy seats and they were amazing! Jorja texted me during the game and she sounds so much better. Crazy to be so close to her and unable to see her. I told her I was waving to her from the football stadium. BYU played Wyoming and it was a closer game than I would have liked, but they still won. Puka Nacua played and he was awesome! He made a great catch right in front of us! He has been injured since the first game this season, so I was excited when we saw him come out. The weather was perfect for today too. Glad Stockton thought of me and glad Alyssa's dad was happy to give us the tickets! It was a great night!

Stockton and Alyssa went to Bridger Lake today to meet up with Mike and Preston. They stopped at Paffs and got carne asada fries, Stockton's favorite.

Destroyed

Jorja stayed after school to film something. I think for homecoming week. Then she went to Swig with Ella, Lucas, Marshall, Jake and Layla. The Corner Canyon football game was tonight. It was at Corner. They destroyed us. Jorja had fun though. They dressed up in USA colors because today is September 11th. Jorja had a white shirt, blue tights and a red skirt. She tried to tape white stripes on her skirt and blue stars on her tights, but it didn't work too well. Needed a little more time to pull that off. Oh well, it worked for today. After the game Jorja hung out at Ella's for a bit. She had a great day.

Last Second Arrest

We had a lazy morning. Went to the store, ate breakfast, played Colt Express. I was the Marshall for the first time ever. This time we played with AI players, which was a little different. Maysen had a ton of money. I wanted to arrest Preston for my last turn, it was one of my cards I needed to do. He went up before I could arrest him. I was disappointed, but I threw my arrest card for kind of no reason. I mean, maybe I would be able to arrest someone, but I doubt it. Anyway, when we were playing the cards, Preston got away from me, like I thought he would. But the AI person PUNCHED Maysen into my train car! So I ended up arresting Maysen. That wouldn't be a big deal, but it just so happened that the last card had a stipulation on it that if anyone was in jail at the end of the game they would lose. WHAT??? Maysen had the most money by a long ways. She totally had the game in the bag, except I randomly arrested her. I felt so bad! Anyway, after the game I took Mike to the boat dock. He spent several hours on the lake. He got the solar panel attached and his 3d printed remote holders up, he ate lunch out there. He had a great time. He texted us when he was close to see if anyone wanted to come boating with him. The kids didn't want to. Maysen is still a little nervous. She says she would like to go when Dad has more experience. I forgot to pack Preston's swimsuit. Whoops. Jorja is going to bring it up, but he didn't want to get on the boat until he had it.

Thin garbage can that Mike is so proud of. Hahaha

Jorja painted more of the hallway after school before she went to the football game in Orem. Alta lost. There were only about six students there. Alta was given 300 tickets, but most of them were bought by parents. Jorja says there were only six, but I bet there was more, just not many.... Jorja went to the game with Aiden. They had a long talk after. He talked to her about being careful with Riley. Hahaha. Aiden is my new favorite!

I had asked Jorja to be home before midnight, the earlier the better. She is going to be driving to the cabin tomorrow and I wanted her to have plenty of sleep. Well, I checked find my friends and she still wasn't home after midnight. She called me. I guess when she turned onto our street she saw Gabby's little brother on the side of the road. His car had broken down. She pulled over to wait for him. He called his dad, but there was no answer, so he called Gabby. She got their dad and he said he would be there. Well.... they waited a long time and he didn't show up. So, James called his dad again, no answer. He called Gabby. She went and found their dad. He had fallen back asleep. Hahaha. So, Jorja asked James if he wanted to wait at our house. I'm glad he wasn't an ax murderer! Jorja drove James to the church parking lot when his dad got here. You can't get into Pepperwood after midnight without jumping through a lot of hoops. They thought this would be easier.

Look how good Mike's duck pond is looking! The blue blankets are keeping the cement wet.

I dropped Jorja off at Alta this morning. She dropped off Packer's birthday gifts then drove to St. George with a bunch of girls. Scoop and Cori were nice enough to let 21 people stay at their house. Jorja had a great time. We had Jorja's car in the shop while she was gone. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with it exactly except to say the brake light is no big deal. Brakes are fine, but the light needs to be turned off by a VW dealer. We replaced a battery. One of her fans is not doing well, but it was going to cost us $700 to replace that, so we are hoping that the battery will help Jorja's car. It only has trouble when it is super hot. Like over 100. We are almost to the fall, so we are hoping the problem just goes away. Haha. Jorja called right before they went to the game. She left her new white mask home. Dang it! Alta won and Jazz won. Good night for sports! Jazz won by 37 points. It was incredible.

At least they got to go to one football game this year

Shenanigans

This first picture is blurry, but it was Jorja's last Hawk Flight School. She has gone to this four years in a row. The first year as a freshman and the other years in student government. Crazy this will be a year of lasts. I hope she gets to experience them though! Jorja texted me while she was at school and said she had an appointment to tour the Make-A-Wish facility on Tuesday. She is pretty excited about that! She also talked to the counselors and got a different email for Jose. She sent him another question asking him why he gave her a zero. Hopefully he answers from this address.

Jorja went to lunch with some boys in student government. The boys decided they wanted to play some Black Opps video game at Jake's house. Jorja invited herself along. This now becomes a story. Every year the senior class public relations gets passed down a toilet. Yep, a toilet. I think Isaac Johnson started this, but I'm not sure. (Isaac came home from his mission to Canada today.) Anyway, last year the senior senators stole the toilet from Josh Bingham's house. When the old seniors took the new seniors out to lunch they were handed down a few things. Josh said to Jordy Robs, "You were supposed to get the toilet, but I don't have it anymore." Jordy was not happy about that and has been telling everyone he is going to steal it back. When the SBOs were meeting here Sadler talked about stealing the toilet first. Last weekend Jorja took some friends to the cabin. Jake was one of them. He is a senior senator now. He was talking about the toilet and thought it was hilarious they had it. Jorja causally asked him where the toilet was. He said it was in his garage. Well.... now Jorja just invited herself to Jake's house. Jorja drove there with JJ and on the way called Sadler and asked if he wanted to steal the toilet. He was all in. So, Jorja is at Jake's house while the boys are all playing this video game they are super into. Jorja asked Jake if she could go play with his dog. He said yes. Jorja leaves the basement and goes into the garage. She opens the garage door. Sadler is outside waiting with someone. I can't remember, but I think he is a junior in student government. Anyway, they pick up the toilet and take it to Jake's neighbor's barn. Jorja goes back to watching the boys play the game. She said it was so scary because the way Jake's house is set up, the basement window faces the garage. The garage isn't attached to the house. They could have easily seen what was going on, but luckily they were too involved with their game. Jorja was also nervous because Jake's mom called him to come help her with something in the garage and she was worried he would notice the toilet is missing. He didn't. Anyway, she was quite proud of her slyness.

Jorja and Joe had to film their part for the SBO video. I think it was something about Joe swimming in our pool. Jorja pushes him in and he never comes up. They are going to have it look like Dallen kidnapped him. Dallen is supposed to kidnap all the SBOs. Jorja later gets a bag over her head while she is looking for Joe. Anyway, they filmed that part today. Mike was working on the boat and Bear was looking for rats while they were filming.

Today would have been Alta's first home football game. Well, it still was. The students were not allowed to watch it in person though. The game was streamed. Bode had tons of people over to his house to watch the game. Bode has dreamed for years of being Attorney General. I remember Jorja telling me her sophomore year that was what Bode wanted to do. The main thing the Attorney General does is the pep rally and get people hyped for games. Mostly football. It is so sad that the thing Bode has dreamed about for years is not going to happen. He still had people over to his house, but it was not the same. It is also crazy that they aren't letting students go to games to protect them from corona, but all it is making them do is meeting in closer quarters, indoors...which is more dangerous. Anyway, Jorja showed up to Bode's house with the doom stick she got last year wearing an Alta cape that Luke passed down to her. When Bode saw Jorja's cape he got excited and ran upstairs because he was passed down a cape as well.

Jorja is still covered in paint hahaha

After the football game they went to classic. They were there until it closed. Jorja had a great time, but this is the only picture she got. I don't like that it is of her and Riley. I know she is trying to become friends with him again, but I do not like seeing them together. Sometimes I wish Jorja wasn't so forgiving. I'm not worried about her liking him again, I just think it is better if she stays far away from him. Too bad he is in student government this year. Not ideal.

Riley & Jorja

Jake sent a message to Jorja when she got home saying the toilet was stolen. He was not happy. He sent her screen shots between him and Jordy Robs. That is who he thinks stole the toilet. They were not getting along. Jorja felt so bad that she started beef between them, so that's a bit awkward. Jorja thought stealing the toilet would become a game where everyone would try and steal the toilet, but these guys are mad. Yikes.
