"Rise and Shout"

You may not be aware. But we are BYU fans. The post title is the first three words of the fight song.

I, unfortunately, fail my Alma Matter in how the rest of it goes, but my niece probably will not. She has beat the odds and will attending BYU in the fall. Multi-talented and kind of a hoot to hang out with, she might need a stick to fight off the boys (said stick kindly being provided by my husband...)

She packs up and moves closer to our neck of the woods (yay!) and leaves behind the most photographically inspiring Kansas City (boo!)

We couldn't let her leave without a downtown hurrah, right?

Hurrah!
