my sister went to the University of Utah - every time they won a gymnastics meet they got to "blow up" the giant U on the hill near campus. It was pretty cool, actually. They had a box similar to Wylie Coyote with the lever to press down to ignite and then they'd turn on some lights on the U.
Did you visit her there? It's kinda like a different world up there.
I had a daughter graduate form BYU, then BYU Law School. The 3 other kids all graduated from UVU. It's in Orem, just north of BYU. UVU beat BYU in basketball last year. :-)) A lot of heads probably exploded.
How'd your sister end up at the U?
A few times! It's really really pretty but everything is just so far away from everything else. I haven't been to any of the national parks there though, so definitely need to go back. Have you been to the Blue Plate Diner?
Full ride for gymnastics :) She was an alternate in the 2008 olympics and just finished her masters at Auburn and just tried out for Cirque Du Soleil in Vegas.
No Shit! Glad to meet you. Can you get me... I mean, us, tickets. :-))
What did she get her masters in?
LOL! Well she hasnt made it in just yet. she is going to the workshop at the end of June...and then we'll know. But if (when) she makes it, we'll have to plan a #socalsteemit road trip to Vegas for the show!!!
Bitchin idea!
oh, and i have no idea. i dont think she even knows. it wasnt her first choice, but the gymnastics program there afforded her a free masters degree in something that wasnt exactly what she wanted to do but was close enough? maybe sports marketing or something? she changes her mind every day. if cirque doesnt work out, she wants to open an air conditioned dog run someplace hot....
Chuckle chuckle. Hot? Fallbrook has a lot of dogs. Do you get along with her?
We are very much alike and do get along well. However....we haven't lived in the same state or even time zone for awhile now so who's to say how much we'd like each other if proximity was closer. My family and I get along so well because of the distance, hahaha. She's got her heart set on Vegas but if that doesn't work out then she wants to go back to SLC.
