Well, once again we made it through November! November brings many things to the Whitchurch home - our wedding anniversary, cold weather, Thanksgiving, etc. However, around here it also means football . . and more importantly, the Holy War! The war between good and Utah. This means the beginning of cat fights, snide comments, 8 hours of football every Saturday (thank heaven for bye weeks), I could go on and on.
I grew up going to BYU football games. Every Saturday, BYU football was on TV. Papa Burton has had season tickets for who knows how long and one of the first songs I ever learned was the BYU fight song. Zach on the other hand literally grew up feet from the University of Utah. The Whitchurch Family lives, breathes, and sleeps Utah football. Now that we have a son, our passion for our teams seemed to be escalated even more. We are anxiously awaiting the day when Eli is able to decide for himself which school he will cheer for.

This is what we decided on for Saturday's game. . . and look how happy he looks.
So farewell to the last ‘real’ season of the BYU/Utah rivalry in the Whitchurch abode. Although they will still be playing each other, it won't be quite the same. . .It's probably a good thing!
