Temple and Michigan...

Last week was crazy busy! It started out with going to the Old Spaghetti Factory on Monday night with the Howlands and then to beautiful Temple Square to see the lights. It amazes me every year how beautiful that place is and I love the feeling there. While walking through Temple Square Justin brushed shoulders with Pres. Uchtdorf. He was walking arm in arm with his cute wife. That was definitely the highlight of our night!!! He is one of my favorites. We love Germans!!! :)

On Tuesday we had the season finale of Biggest Loser. Congrats to Danny! He is the guy we wanted to win. He seems like a really nice family guy. LOL

On Wednesday night Justin and I went to the Hunstman Center to watch his beloved Michigan basketball team play. To be honset I was so excited I couldn't stand it!!! Justin has definitely converted me as a Michigan fan. It was so AWESOME!!!! Michigan did lose but it was so awesome to finally see them play live in person. We had a blast and we got to meet 4 very interesting guys from Michigan. They flew in that morning to go to the game and then skiing at Solitude for a couple of days. Hopefully one of these days we'll be able to go to the Big House and see the football team play and maybe they'll win for us. :-)

On Friday night we had tickets to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Natalie Cole Christmas concert. Justin, Jakson and I went to dinner and then headed over to the concert. Madison had a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa Powells. By the time we got through security and got to our section where our tickets were reserved all the seats were taken by stand by. It didn't matter that we had tickets and we ended up getting kicked out. There were a good 50 or so of us that had to leave because of lack of seats. I saw 3 different women crying. I wanted to cry too. Oh well, we always have next year. The biggest bummer was there were several seats available in the lower section but they wouldn't let any of us down there.

On Saturday night we had the Howland Christmas party. It was a lot of fun and my parents and Aunt Lori did a great job! Merry Christmas!!!
