BYU Homecoming Game

This weekend we had the coolest experience as my dad was honored by being asked to be the Y-Lighter at the BYU Homecoming Game.  We didn't find out about it until a few days before the game but were able to make arrangements to fly in for the weekend.  The entire family was invited to be on the field before the game while they highlighted my dad's career and how he's influenced BYU Football (he played football for BYU and was a BYU honorable mention All-American; he coached 3 of BYU's current football coaches when they were in high school; and he coached two of BYU's current players).  Coincidentally being honored at BYU was just the icing on the cake for my dad who reached a career milestone the night before the game: his 300th career win as a high school football coach.  Pretty Amazing!  You can read about it here and here
