Andrew's Internship with KSL and Greg Wrubell

Well the biggest news in the Andrew and Caitlyn Bangerter family is that Andrew got the internship with KSL and Greg Wrubell.  He interviewed on Monday Jan. 9 and then got hired the next day.  This internship is really nice because Andrew got it approved for academic credit.
His first day was that Friday where he met all the sports guys up at KSL:  Jason Shepherd, Tom Kirkland, and Ron Zundel to name a few.  A big part of his internship is producing the Cougar Sports Saturday show and all the BYU basketball games.  Make sure to listen at the very end and they mention Andrew's name.  He is a little bummed that he can't go to any of the BYU games anymore at the Marriott Center, but he is hoping to change that as time goes on.   When he is in Salt Lake he is in charge of all the replays that happen on the radio.  So if you don't hear a replay or something then Andrew is the one to blame. ;)  They told him though that for the most part he can make this internship what he wants it to be.
Andrew is really excited to put his stat skills to the test and help Greg Wrubell out with some projects. He has loved his first couple of days even though they were long 12 hour days.  We'll keep you posted on what he is up to during his internship.

First week of school

Well we survived our first week of winter semester with only me dropping one class....Marriage Prep...haha I guess I really didn't need that class ;) I'm taking 12 credits this semester and working two jobs.  I still work at the good ole library and I'm a TA again for the same teacher.  It is a Student Development class called Career Explorations.  It was a fun experience last semester and I'm excited to see how this one goes. Andrew is taking 14 credits and taking his first class from the BYU Salt Lake Center.  He said the weirdest thing was sitting in his class and seeing the Energy Solutions Arena but having pictures of LaVell Edwards Stadium on the wall.  He loves it though because there are only 5 people in his class.  He is no longer working at the MTC this semester.  The MTC was a great experience for him and he would not trade if for anything.  Right now he is waiting to hear back about an internship with KSL Radio and Greg Wrubell and will interview with him on Monday.  While we wait to hear back, he is working as a TA for the Stats department.

It is also my Mom's birthday this week and my parents came down on Friday.  My dad kept asking my mom what she wanted for her birthday but she never said anything.  She finally told him that she wanted to come have dinner with all her kids in Provo.  So they drove down on Friday and we went to Milagros in Orem.  It was a fun restaurant and we heard that Bronco Mendenhall is a frequent customer. We then headed to the Cocoa Bean and had cupcakes.  It was great to see my parents.

Adam's birthday is today and we will be heading to Brick Oven for lunch and the BYU basketball game after.  It has been fun to have Adam's family here and to get to spend time with the Bangerter family.

The best part about having so many birthdays in one week is that I don't have to cook every night! (Hence the two logos posted)

Well this sums up our week pretty good.  We're excited for another one.
