Church ball... Not just for men!

Brandon loves basketball. He loves watching it (all the time!) and playing it when church ball starts every winter. I like to show off my skills to him by acting like I know it all when we're watching the Jazz by yelling at the players to play better "D" and commenting on nice plays. Brandon also knows that I'm a fairly aggressive person and has this image in his head that I used to be like an Allstate baller back in the day. Anyone who played with me back then (has it really been 10 years?) knows this isn't true but I did play with a lot of heart and loved the game for a long time but ultimately gave it up cold turkey when it wasn't fun anymore. Well...I was at one of Brandon's church ball games and some of the other wives were talking about the women's league. I thought it was an interesting idea but wasn't sure if I had enough confidence. Fast forward a week...Brandon goes to another game but I decide to stay home and finish watching bachelor. He leaves the house all droopy...next thing I know I get a text saying I have a game right after his and he's already told them I'm coming! So I hurry and get ready and run out the door to meet him cause I know I can't disappoint! I get there and have to make sure that my teammates and I have a plan (which no one really stuck to) and hit the court. My biggest fear is that I'm going to hurt someone...needless to say, I think I fouled more than any other girl on both teams! It was super fun, but totally exhausting (totally different then running 3 miles on the treadmill!). I seriously thought I might pass out after sprinting the whole 1st quarter! The best part about it was watching Brandon cheer me on and having the biggest smile on his face when I made a shot! Definitely not a teenager anymore but still love the game!

Hi

Blogging is the hardest thing ever! I don't know how people (like Amanda) do it so frequently. Just wanted say yes I'm embarrassed that I restart and drop off every few years... :/ I'll forget about it until someone brings it up and says they look at it every so often to see if it will ever revive.

Well, today is Valentine's Day. I'm super excited because Brandon is really prepared...bought tickets a week ago to see "The Vow" tonight and has a reservation at Lone Star Steakhouse. I didn't really do anything too cute-sy for him...we got tickets to the Jazz game on Friday from my boss (2nd row!) and Brandon freaked out and loved it so much that I figured it kinda counted to make me a good wife on Valentine's...I also bought him two Jazz hats (cause let's be honest, the guy couldn't pick just one!) Anyway, this is our third Valentine's together, but our first one being married. It really does make it kind special. I honestly can't believe we have been married for almost a year!

If you are reading this, thanks for caring. If you're lucky I'll post again...soon...as in not a few years ;)

Love,
Miss Leia
