Thursday's Hero


September 22, 2008












We had one of the most inspiring and memorable experiences of our lives last Thursday! We got to meet the BYU Football Team - coaches, staff, and players! It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that we will never forget!

To make a long story short - every Thursday, the BYU Football Team invites someone from the community to attend their Thursday afternoon practice, and be recognized for showing courage in the face of adversity. The program is called "Thursday's Heroes."

Imagine our surprise when we discovered last week that our good friend and neighbor, John Cannon, had nominated Evan, and that Evan had been selected! So last Thursday, our family, and the Cannon family, made the trip to Provo for an amazing afternoon!

As you can see, our visit started with some family photos in front of a huge mural of Lavell Edwards Stadium - and it just kept getting better and better from there. Check out the following photos for highlights from our visit.
