The Jimmer

Some might say that I go to extreme lengths in order to not miss a BYU basketball or football game. I would have to agree with that. I don't know if I've missed a BYU football game since I was 12 and Jenna and I are always having to figure out how to work in the BYU basketball games to our busy weekend schedules. But this year especially, you just can't run the risk of missing a game because you will most likely miss an amazing performance by Jimmer. Well, Last Friday I had a work meeting RIGHT during the BYU New Mexico game. I tried everything to get out of this meeting and considered just not showing up and asking for forgiveness later... But I felt like I really needed to go to this meeting. Well, it really doesn't surprise me that the ONE game I have ever missed just happened to be a career night for Jimmer, scoring 52 and beating the Lobos. It was hard for me to take in. I asked why. Why me? Why this game? What did I do to deserve this? But I have no bitter feelings about it; I just find it just comical that I missed that sweet of a game.... Oh well. Life goes on. That's probably the biggest and most valuable lesson I learned from having to miss the game.
