David Archuleta, President Monson, and the Governor!

Oh boy. Today was a busy one...I've been up and going since 6am. I nearly died of frost bite 20 times because of how freezing it is. Seriously though, it's as cold as death here. I don't care who you are or where you're from.

On a happier note, I went to the Governor's Inauguration and it was good times. Little David Archuleta was there singing and waving to the screaming girls; but, more importantly, President Monson was there. I have to tell you about the funny experience that I (sort of) witnessed:
After a Federal Judge gave the oaths of office to the Governor etc, he said something like, "Please remain seated after the prayer as the elected officials are escorted into the Capitol Building for the execution...of their oath's of office." Right then, I looked up to see President Monson smile and turn to the Rabbi next him saying something about "The Execution." I can only imagine what he was saying. I laughed even more when I noticed him saying something about "The Execution" again, as the officials were leaving. Hilarious.

Anyway, here is the video of the national anthem. Notice the screams at the end of an inauguration? Really though.

Adam, I am very happy you do not dismissively write off the Aggies, and after that amazing game this year, you are temporarily entitled to bragging rights. You're the man. :)
