fútbol americano.

last friday night
an original play
starring janaya (J) and lauren (L)

L: "we need to be productive tonight."
J: "yeah we do, i have so much spanish to get done."
L: "i have a few tests i need to study for."
J: "plus it's conference this weekend, so we have less time than usual to get everything done."
L: "we HAVE to be productive tonight."
J: "so what's the plan?"
L: "let's go get a pizza, eat it at the park, soak in some sun and fresh air, then come home and get to work."
J: "okay, let's do it!"

J&L drive to little ceasars


J: (to worker) "we would like the meal deal with a pepperoni pizza please."
L: (to J) "do you want rootbeer or orange soda?"
J: (to L) "the orange isn't caffeine free."
L: (to J) "okay, rootbeer it is."
J: (to worker) "do you have cups"

J gets cups from worker, L grabs soda and pizza


Both: "thanks"

J&L leave restaurant and get into car


L: "do you want to go to the park that is less busy?"
J: "good thinking"

J&L drive to smith park


(while getting out of car):
L: "so, after we are done eating we have to ..."
J: "do you hear that?"
L: "yeah, is that ..."
J: "A FOOTBALL GAME!!!"

J&L give each other 'the stare" (if you are wondering what this is, just think of a time when you and another person both wanted to do something, that you maybe weren't supposed to be doing, so you stare at each other as if to ask, "can we?" that is 'the stare')


i think the rest of this story is pretty much self explanatory. 


that is right y'all. instead of being good hard-working college students on friday night lauren and i went to a high school football game. it was so much fun. we felt like complete dorks, and yet, at the same time, we felt like we were pretty cool. after i have thought about it more, i think the latter is true. what can i say? i love me some live fútbol americano! (and yes, i do keep saying fútbol americano to show that my spanish has not suffered from this night of ruckus.)

football games are getting fancy ... hand stamps instead of tickets. :) 

the field ... the lights ... the crowd 

getting ready to play some fútbol americano

scripture of the day:
Psalms 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

today i am thankful for:
* an institute teacher who gave a speech about how all work and no play is a waste of the college experience so that i felt a little better about ditching my college work for a high school football game.
* living prophets and apostles who lead and guide me in this day.
* lauren. it has been so much fun getting to be her roommate these past semesters, and we always have so much fun together!
