"We must protect this house!"

For anyone who knows ANYTHING about the Jensen's should know that we take our Utah Football very serious. Saturday nights game was no exception! Utah faced the Louisville Cardinals. Utah redeemed themselves after last weeks embarrassment, and we had fun watching it!
Lulu may or may not have shown up for a cheer or two! I have to keep the racial slurs to a minimum in public!

The game was an absolute riot, and it made it so much more fun that Utah WON!!!

GO UTES!!!


On a side note, we were walking back to our car after the game and we came across a man who had had a heart attack. We watched the paramedics try to revive him but they had no luck. He was just laying on the side walk dead... it was a mildly traumatic experience. I'll probably have nightmares about it, and could possibly need therapy.

My weekend? Let me tell you.....

I had a great weekend, one of the best I have in a while. It was filled with lots of friends and family time. Friday night I slept at Brad and Heidi's house and woke up to a babysitting job. (of course it was planned) I got to spend all of Saturday with my nephews. They are so cute, and it's so fun to see their personalities develop. We went up Big Cottonwood Canyon to see the beautiful falls colors and to burn some extra energy. Then we were off to Grandpa Brad's house to play with Aiden and Andrew, and to watch a very disappointing Utah game. They are such good boys and they were a treat to have!
Jenny had her first dance, so I helped her get ready. She looked absolutely beautiful! We missed having mom there, but that's what sisters are good for right?!
Best of all the weekend, all my friends came home for the weekend.I got to spend Saturday night with them. There's only four of us let, marriage is getting the best of them, but us four are holding strong! :) We went to dinner together, and then we had some time to chat and get caught up on things. After a bit we hooked up with all of our old guy friends that are just getting back from missions. It was so fun to see all of them and to get caught up on life. It was lightening, thundering, and raining, so naturally Andy decided it would be fun to go on a hike right?! WRONG?! He took us up the wrong trail so we trekked through mud, bushes, trees, rocks, and who knows what else only to find we hike to the wrong place. :) It was an adventure that actually ended up being pretty fun.
Needless to say it was a fun weekend, and I'm lucky that I got time to spend with the people I love most. In other news..... I really miss my mother and I'm dying for her to get home! Two weeks plus is far to long for a Mom to be away. It makes me very grateful to have a mom that's close, and always around! I Love you Mom and miss you lots, have fun, but please hurry up and get home!!!!!!

Blue....

Today in my writing class we took the color personality test. Much to my surprise I was not red, I was not yellow, but BLUE! Who'd a thunk?! I've always taken myself for a red/yellow person, but I guess I'm mostly blue with a dash of yellow. Here's how my personality was described, read as much or as little as you please, but let me know, Does this sound like yours truly?! :)

Blues are Motivated by Altruism

Blues love to do nice things for others. They look of opportunities to give up something in order to bring another person happiness. Selflessness rather then selfishness is their guiding philosophy. Many blues are uncomfortable doing things solely for themselves. They hold doors open for people, offer rides when someone's car breaks down, contribute to charities, even devote their entire lives to helping others.

Blues Seek Intimacy

More then anything else, blues want to love and be loved. A true blue will sacrifice a successful career to improve an important relationship. Once considered solely a female characteristic, this nurturing is more accurately understood as a blue personality trait.

Blues Crave Being Understood

Blues are gratified when they are listened to, when they feel understood and appreciated. They are notorious for revealing their inadequacies, because they value being known and understood so much. In the eyes of a blue, being vulnerable is a small price to pay for the chance to connect emotionally. Blues may have their hearts broken more than most people, but they also spend much more time in love.

Blues Need to Be Remembered and Appreciated

With blues, a simple pat on the back will not suffice. Blues expend such great effort in making the world a better place that sometimes they need to be told how wonderful they are. They need to be thanked and specifically remembered for their good deeds. they need sincere gratitude. They delight in being remembered on birthdays and other special days, especially if the remembrance is personal- a homemade anniversary card, a welcome home part, a special day that isn't on the calendar. Blues need tender loving care.

Blues are Directed by a Strong Moral Conscience

Blues are motivated to behave in a proper, appropriate manner. They have a moral code that guides them in their decision making, their value judgments, even their leisure time. Blues enjoy being "good". Of all the personality colors, blues come equipped with the strongest sense of integrity. A blue would rather lose than cheat. Blues are trustworthy. Ethically, blues are the people who should be in positions of power, but seldom are.
