A Lucky Day

For some odd reason the internet in my hooch is working extremely well today, so I thought I'd take advantage and do a quick post. Maybe even live on the edge a little and try to post a picture or two. The weather has been awesome lately, with highs in the upper 60's. Today looks to be another beautiful day and just in time for the softball tournament. We are sitting at 2nd in our league, but have a good shot of taking it all. We will will play at 1300, and if we win then we will have another game at 1500. Should we win that game, we will play one final game at 1600 for a trip to the championship. The championship will be next weekend, a best of three game series. I feel that the basketball team is falling apart. No-one really gets along and there is always an argument win or lose. One guy has quit 3 times already and will get an earful from me if he decides to come back for a fourth. We recently had a basketball tournament for Black History Month. We won our first round game, but were eliminated two nights later.
Jamie Kennedy is making a stop in these parts sometime next week along with Paul Wall. Really looking forward to that. Hopefully I can make it in as I am sure the theater will be packed.

Hey brotha... I finally sent your package on Thursday, so hopefully you should get it later this week... You are lucky to have that weather, it has been soooo cold here, especially last week! With the wind chills it has been about -15!! But now, it looks like things are melting away and warming up... now I can get my car washed.. yay!!
I've got SCC orientation tomorrow and a meeting with my advisor on Thursday... so it looks like I'm finally getting into school!
Well, hope things are going well, let me know if you need anything else.
Love, Meagan

Glad the weather is looking up for you there. Even more excited that we are getting a break this week -- should make it into the 50's a couple days and 60's a couple more! Good to get the kids outside a bit!

Justin just finshed his first season of basketball. He had a blast! Mike got suckered into coaching--did quite well for 1st year. Ryan was helper, Jenna chearleader, and I was cheerleader/photographer. Will have to show you some "footage" when you are back. :-) Coach pitch (Justin) and t-ball (Ryan) are next.

Good luck with your games and "Have Fun!"

Love, Aunt Christie

Enjoy the 60 degrees, it won't be long and it'll be up to 100+ again. Hope you get your clothes before going to Qatar. Have a good time and "let your hair down" a little!

Love you!
