Air Jessica

For those of you who don't already know, my wife is a basketball star. Not only did she run the court all through high school, she got a full ride to Tyler Junior College where she played for two years. There, they won the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and Jessica and her sister were co-MVP's! After that, she went to SFA and played for two years, becoming famous all over again. (click on the pic to read some of her stats)

So yesterday, we drove to UT in Arlington to watch Jess' old team, the SFA Lady Jacks play. Jessica's coach from both TJC and SFA is still their head coach.

It was a fun night and then a great date. I love being married to a former all-star!

Winter Weather Blast

Growing up in North Texas, I think that school was cancelled due to snow or ice maybe 10 times total from Kindergarten through my senior year in high school. This school year, however, Jessica's school has already closed twice (including today), a basketball tournament was cancelled, and this past Sunday, our church services were called-off. Why all the cancellations you ask. Well, it's because there's a Winter Weather Blast swooping through the North Texas Counties (I've been watching the weather channel too much).

Since Jess gets to stay home today and my classes don't start until tomorrow, we'll be enjoying a morning by the fire with the blinds open so that we can appreciate the rare view of Texas snow.

The Rockies

We might have had to drive all night long with no sleep. We might have had to sit in a 3-hour-long traffic jam with no bathroom in sight. We might have had to endure hours after hours of driving through some of the most boring states in our Country, but it was all worth it to bring us to the beautiful Rockies.

Snow-covered mountains as our backdrop, last week found Jess and I with Joey & Nicole and Clint & Missy as we skied, tubed, rode snow mobiles, bike-skied, ate fat dinners, watched a one-man play, drank hot chocolate, slid around on a frozen lake, laughed alot, played some games, and just Celebrated Life.

I also found one of the most peaceful places on earth--standing on the slope of a mountain, my ski boots crunching the snow, skiers whipping by me, the cold air turning my cheeks a little red, all the while, feeling as though I was on top of the world. I love being in new places with such inspiring environments. It makes me want to write and travel and live!
