What a Day!

September 11th is a day full of emotion for most Americans.  It was a day of ups and downs for me.  As I was driving through our apartment complex parking lot a girl in a large truck backed out and hit my car.  It upset me, but our car was drivable and she knew it was her fault.  We are currently having our car repaired and have been using a rental for the past week.  That was the big down for the day.
The big up... Chris got FREE tickets to see the Air Force Academy vs. BYU Football game.  It was an Awesome game.  I loved cheering for who ever was on offense.  There was a massive amount of BYU fans and we were sitting right next to one of those sections.  The Army must have gotten a whole section of tickets because everyone right around us was Army.  It was funny.  Whenever the Academy would do the split cheer "AIR--- FORCE"  people around us would say "AR---MY."  The boys had a good time.  Shaden actually fell asleep for about a quarter of the game, but he loved cheering and yelling.  "Touchdown!"  "Run!" "Good Catch!"  "Tackle him!"
Every time there was a break in the action someone who served or was affected by the events of 9-11 was announced and applauded.  The half time show was fun.  The band played one of the songs from the new Star Trek movie, "Enterprising Young Men."  And a HUGE American Flag was unfurled over the field.  Shaden was impressed. "Wow!  Big Flag!"
