Go Big Blue

Last Friday night was the season opener for the boys in blue.  Let's just get it out now...they were scrappy!  They are not looking like the champions from March!  But, this fan will hang in there until the end and pray that they improve...mostly because my voice can't handle a season of last Friday night!

Thing thing that was most amazing was the surprise performance from Polson!  Polson graduated from West Jessamine High School (Where hubs works) two years ago.  His dad owns the place where we get our oil changed.  He went to UK as a walk on and expected "no" real playing time, but last Friday night he shocked out socks off! 

The boys got off to a rough start.  We had a player with flu like symptoms, and they just weren't communicating anything!  So coach Cal did what any coach would do...he put Polson in. 

I almost died!

Polson?  really?  POLSON?

Wait!  What's that?  Polson is leading the team?  Polson stole the ball?  Polson is calling the shots?  Polson just rebounded the ball?  Polson has been in most of the first half?  WHAT? 

He played the game of his life! 

Hubs and I always joke about "putting Polson in" when the the cats are down, but tonight Polson is starting in the game against Duke!  I know I've never met the kid, but I can't help but be "hometown proud"! 

So here's to a hopeful win!  Here's to a less scrappy team!  Here's to my boys in blue!

Life

Over the last few weeks we have been anxiously awaiting the birth of our first "nephew".  I say "nephew" because he isn't really our nephew, he's our best friends baby.  Regardless, we will be aunt Rissa and uncle Twix. 

His parents are two of our best friends on this Earth and really the first people that Tim and I have been super close to as they welcome a new life.  It's been one of the greatest experiences of my life.  I have so loved watching my friends become parents.  I have felt so close to baby, even though he isn't mine.  When I watched him snuggle with his parents just minutes after he was born I couldn't help feeling like he was part of my family.  As I left him at the hospital with his mom and dad I missed him.  Tonight as I snuggled him for hours I loved him.  There's something magical about becoming an aunt!  I get to do it "for real" in Dec. when Tim's sister has her little gal! 

So, what does this mean about me and hubs having our own...someday, but not today!  Right now I'm happy loving on all the nieces and nephews!
