She told me I could blog this

This week Lila has been volunteering with the sets construction, painting and set-up for this years Stadium of Fire. It's going to be great!!!! Carrie Underwood will be there. There is a big showcase on the 100 Birthday of the Boy Scouts of America. 100 Eagle Scouts will be awarded their Eagles. I wonder if they will have an "Eagle's Nest". That is when all Eagles present at the Eagle Court of Honor are asked to come forward, and they sit there as a support system and congratulate the new Eagle into the brotherhood. If they do do that it'll be inspiring as I'm sure there will be many Eagles in attendance. Maybe they'll have all Eagles stand?

I kinda ran on a bit. Lila has had fun meeting new people. Yesterday she met a nice guy who is 23 years old. His name is Matt Edwards. He knows some Spanish. He had on a political shirt--Becky Edwards. On learning Matt's last name she joked--"so are you related to Becky?" Come to find out Becky is his mother and is running for office in the Utah House of Representatives.

So there Lila was...in the L.E. football stadium, working alongside a bunch of kids....and someone mentioned there was a BYU football player amongst them. It was Matt. He talked of always wanting to play football and he eventually wants to be a coach like his grandpa....and so the day continued. She came home and chatted about the fun day.

At about 11:30 p.m. she called my cell phone and told me she was an idiot and that she'd explain in the morning.

This morning she said she had put 2 and 2 together, and she figured out that the nice guy Matt is none other than Lavell Edwards' grandson. We laughed and had a "Derrrrr" moment.
