SAVAGES SAVAGES!!!!

...barely even human!! Pocahontas anyone?

Well, our good friends, Trent and Amelia Savage paid us a visit this week. We met them through ward basketball a couple of years ago when we lived by UVSC. They are so awesome!! They both just graduated from BYU, Trent with his undergraduate and Amelia with her Masters in accounting. Trent just got into his first choice of dental school at University of Florida, yes they are both smarty pants!!! AND the nicest people and so much fun! They came and we were busy with activities the entire time. I don't think we ever went to bed before midnight the whole time either. Amelia helped me so much with watching Cheyenne and Trent accompanied Jeff on all of his runs and helped us weed and mow the lawn of our new house, thanks guys! 

Here are some highlights of the week. Of course, we had to visit the University of Georgia stadium. Here is a picture of Jeff and Trent by the G, I should have gotten one of Trent gator chomping the G with his arms, darnit...

We walked around the entire stadium to try to find a way in. We found one door open, but the security guard said no one was allowed in. At the very end of walking around, we found a gate open and went inside. I was so scared we were going to get arrested! Ha! But, we went in and got some great pictures inside the stadium. We are so sneaky.

Another day, we decided to go see Clemson. This was good because Jeff and I hadn't been there yet either. On ESPN they do a taste of the town wherever the main college game is for the day. This is Mac's Drive-in which was featured on Taste of the Town. Trent and Jeff knew all of the worker's names and were so excited to tell them we came all the way from "Washington" and Florida to try their double cheeseburgers. We were all actually very impressed with this fun place and will probably return.

Finally, we went to Clemson's stadium and it was so fun because it was totally open. We just walked in and there were even maintenance people there and they were totally cool, we explored everywhere. This is us by the lucky rock that they touch before the games.


Here is Jeff on the field, he was so bummed he didn't bring his football.

We even got into the place where all the rich people sit to watch the games. I think I would like to go to a game and watch it in the air conditioned room and great view!

Here is Jeff and Cheyenne taking a rest, they had all of this cute funky furniture that I was tempted to take home with us! I love this picture, they are so cute:)

And of course the basketball arena, Little John, was open too, these seats were super comfortable.


It was such a fun week and it went by too fast! Thanks for coming to visit Trent and Amelia and hopefully we can get together again soon. It had been too long:)

stacey- thanks for the advice! he's actually doing the excercise science major at byu, and going to physical therapy school after that (hopefully at the U). hes never coached before but played football, baseball and some basketball up until the mission. he may not do it, but is just thinking about adding it because he's already done a lot of the coaching minor classes for his major, and wants to boost the GPA a little bit! the actual coaching would probably be later, and not really do any teaching.

totally understand the 'doesn't matter what major you get' thing... kinda works out in the end, but sometimes frustrating! thanks for the tips too- i actually had the thought to ask you how you guys went about it and just haven't gotten to it. can't wait to see some new pictures!
