Senior Night

Well I suppose it is my turn to put an update up from senior night. I have kind of been avoiding it because every time I look through the pictures and think about it, I get teary-eyed. It has truly been such an honor to watch my little sister grow up, and grow into the person that she is today; partly due to basketball. I am SO impressed when I watch her lead her team. They have been through A LOT of ups and downs this past season, but she is so determined to bring these girls out of it on a better side. I know she could have never gotten to where she is today without her faith, and without praying for every girl on that team since her freshman year. Her determination and drive, to show Christ to her teammates is definitely something to be admired....so yes...Thursday evening was senior night. It was the last regular season home game that Erin will play at Sterling. Since that evening, the girls won the KCAC conference for the third season in a row (never having been done in Sterling women's basketball history). Up next is the KCAC tournament starting this coming Thursday, Saturday and the following Tuesday, for anyone who would like to come. Their winning the conference gives them their place at the national tournament again in Sioux City, IA! Well, here are my pictures from the evening...Love you little sister.

25 Things

There was this note going around facebook, and I finally caved to the peer pressure and wrote mine.

1. I tried to avoid writing a note with 25 things about me for the past couple of days, but I always give into peer pressure. (ANNETTE! i blame you)
2. I am entirely too concerned about other peoples opinions and what they think of me.
3. I LOVE being a mom, but now that I am one I realize that I could not be a stay at home mom..which is what I always wanted to do. Not anymore.
4. I am slightly obsessed with lady warriors basketball..thats an understatement. I mean who wouldn't love watching the number 5 team in the nation twice a week! (specifically numbers 11 and 33 and 41 :)
5. I really hate it when people are fake. Your not fooling anyone.
6. I played violin for 7 years of my life, and quit in high school. Sometimes I wish I still played.
7. For one of my birthdays in high school, my mom wanted to get me a nice violin case, and my dad wanted to get me a shotgun (I wanted the shot gun). Mom won.
8. One of the scariest moments of my life, was when my sister and I were riding horses in Wyoming, hers bucked her off and almost trampled her right in front of me. I cried..a lot, and neither of us have ridden a horse since then.
9. I am a labor and delivery nurse, and I have very strong opinions about how patients take advantage of a system that was put there to help them.
10. #9 is why I don't undertand why ANY dr would think it is ethical or reasonable to implant 8+ embryos in that woman in california, when she doesn't have a stable support system at home and already has 6 children. dummy.
11. When I have had a really stressul day, sometimes I feel like having a cigarette..which I think is weird since I have never smoked one of those things.
12. i LOVE cigars.
13. my husband wanted to date me for four years. I got tired of turning him down, and when he decided to move to indiana, i decided that would be a great time to start dating. cause that definitely makes sense :)
14. Jeremy swore he would never get married before he was done with school..that is why my parents liked him so much. After we got married we lived in Indiana for a year while he was finishing school :)
15. People who think wichita is the worst place to live should try moving away for a while...you might miss it, and be grateful for boring ol wichita :)
16. People who didn't vote for obama and who feel very strongly about him not being president should go ahead and get over it, try to support him and start praying for him because he is running our country for the next 4 years whether you like it or not (discalimer: i didn't vote for him either)
17. my idea of a perfect summer night would be sitting on the back porch with a corona in one hand and a cigar in another, watching a thunderstorm roll in.
18. I really dislike judgmental people.
19. Living in Indiana really made me hate snow..and now dislike the whole winter season.
20. The thought that scares me the most is anything ever happening to Liam.
21. I was convinced the whole time I was pregnant that I was having a girl. I still wasn't sure whether to believe the dr when he was born and said it was a boy. If Liam has a complex someday I guess we will know why.
22. I added unlimited texting to our cell phone plan a long time ago and never told Jeremy :) come on..you know it is saving us WAY more money this way. Now you know!
23. I broke my right ankle three times when I was little...I wish I could say I was athletic...unfortunately I was just a klutz.
24. I think people should have a license to breed. I feel really sorry for these poor babies being born into families that don't really want them and will never take good care of them.
25. I really hope that Liam is athletic when he is older (specifically the sports I have picked out for him :) haha I need another excuse to go to basketball games and yell, once this season is over.
