Facing the Giants

You'd think that in a house full of seven boys and a husband who enjoys playing sports with his sons, Super Bowl Sunday would be the most anticipated Sunday of the year.

But not at our house.

We chose long ago that for our family Sundays would be dedicated to the Lord, not to sports.

But just this last week we discovered this amazing, uplifting movie. . . just in time for the Super Bowl Weekend.

Pathetic Me

 I am NOT one to cry about sports.

No, not me.

But knowing the Jimmer era at BYU over makes me cry.

Really.

I feel so pathetic about feeling this way because the very last thing I wanted to do was be a part of this whole Jimmermania craze.

In fact, early in the season I was adamant that it wasn’t going to get to me.

But the guy can P.L.A.Y.

The guy can S.H.O.O.T.

The guy is absolutely A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. to watch.

So today I mourn that I can’t watch Jimmer play tomorrow.

I am so PATHETIC!

March Madness

From the very beginnings of our marriage, my husband and I have religiously filled out our NCAA basketball tourney brackets just for the fun of it.  And my husband always has better picks than I do!

This year it has been even funner because five of our boys are now caught up in the brackets AND I actually made some better picks guesses than my husband AND well, just what can you say when it comes to JIMMER?!

I say, Go Cougars!
