Football season is here...

So many of you know Sean has a love and obsession for the game of football. The only thing on our TV now is, I know shocking...FOOTBALL. And it is only a little over a week into the season, I have a feeling it's going to be a long one. His Favorite is of course the Utah Utes, but we are not able to regularly attend those games anymore. So instead we get to go to the ASU games. At least they are a good team. It kind of brought me back to my days at San Diego State because the quality of girls seen, wearing as little as possible to a sporting event. It still was a lot of fun. I don't think I have ever been to a game that hot though. I was kind of missing the cooler games in Utah, not the ones in a freezing blizzard though! Go UTES!!!

We love football games!

Kristin and Nate's Wedding

I tried a few weeks ago to add pictures from Kristin and Nate's big day, but was having technical difficulties and now it worked. So here are a few pics from thier wedding up in Washington. Kristin looked so beautiful and it was fun to be there to celebrate with them. We are so happy for them and excited to have Nate in the family now. We also were able to go to Seattle for one day and I forgot how pretty it is there.

I Love Surveys, and I've Been Tagged!
Hey guys, it's Sean. The only time I get on here is when I am at work. It is friday evening and AT&T is dead. So I was reading our friends Andy and Melissa's blog and got this survey. It should keep me occupied for like 20 minutes so here it goes!!
First one:Post these rules on your blog.List: 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names.

3 Joys:
1. Being with my wife. I love coming home at night and having her look so happy to see me. Like Chels always says, being married is like a slumber party every night. I just love hanging out with her and being with her.
2. Last saturday began a 4 month long obsession of mine known as college football. Besides my hanging out with my wife it is my favorite thing in the world. I could watch anyone play and I would be like a kid in a candy store. My 2 favorite teams met last saturday with my alma mater Utah Utes beating my childhood favorites Michigan. It is definately a joy to have football back!!
3. Hanging out with my family. I never realized how much I really loved having my family around until we moved away from them. I love quoting movies with them. You definately know you are with the Van Wagenen's when you hear random movie and tv quotes flying around. I also love my inlaws. Me and Chels had a very different family upbringing and seeing how the Pettey clan reacts to my "stupidity" is absolutely epic!!! I love them, oh and being with my best friends is amazing.


3 Goals:
1. Be a good dad.
2. Be more spiritually centered.
3. Get a job with a medical sales company that I am interested in.


Obsessions:
1. Sports. Mainly Utah Football, and the Phoenix Suns. I am alot obsessed with both of them.
2. Movies. Mainly comedies. I love movies.
3. My wife


Facts About Me:
1. Me and my wife met the summer after our senior years of high school. He aunt is my moms best friend from college. I went to Lake Powell with her aunt's family. I don't think we said 2 words to each other and she thought I was stupid because I slept in everyones bed and I had earrings and bleach blonde hair!!! We met up 6 years later and now we are in love!!! HAHAHA!!
2. I have an unbelievably great memory and use it to memorize and remember information that is not important or useful. I can memorize a song after about 5 times hearing it, and I have ALOT of movies and tv show memorized. I also remember EVERYTHING. If you are a little cloudy about a moment or memory and I was in some way involved, chances are I can tell you everything about it!!
3. I have a wierd obsession with food. I love it and talk about and pretty much always want it. I however will not eat fruit or vegetables or anything remotely healthy. My wife thinks that if I ate it I would like it, but I try to and I have an extemely quick gag reflex. I also love soda. If you want details, ask anyone who has ever been friends with me and they can tell you stories!!!

Second one:Rules:Each player answers the questions themselves.
