What kind of basketball fan are you?

A fellow basketwife of mine from Traveling Allowed wrote a funny piece called "What kind of basketball fan are you?"  Check it out!

As I read the following categories I started laughing out loud because I've met at least one wife that could fit into every category.  As for myself, I had to go back and read them twice before I could make my decision.  First and foremost I am The Knowledgeable Wife.  I've played and watched basketball my entire life.  I don't want to sound full of myself but I really know the game (just ask my husband who always asks for my analysis of the game once it's over - ha). But along with The Knowledgeable Wife I am guilty of being The Critic as well.  Anyone how has seen European basketball knows that 80% of referees are absolutely horrible (was that too harsh?).  Bad calls both ways, bad calls one way, making up calls after the messed up the last call, etc., it never ends.  And I am the first to call Adam out when he needs a little boost or wake up call.  To top it off, I love to give the referees my two cents; never in a rude way but you will most certainly hear me yell, "I am sorry Sir, but that was an AWFUL call."

So to all my basketwives/girlfriends/fiancees what type of basketball fan are you?

Verse of the Day

I want to remind my readers that you are all so beautiful!  Simply gorgeous inside and out!

Psalm 139:14

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; 

your works are wonderful, 

I know that full well.

Anthony Robles: One-legged Wrestler

In the midst of some heated March Madness games was the Division 1 Wrestling National Championship. As soon as Anthony Robles took the mat I was shocked that a one-legged wrestler was about to battle for the National Championship and much to my surprise, he won! It was amazing to see what he could do. I know nothing about wrestling but I do know he is good, really good.

Divorce in Professional Athletics by Erin Crispin

Once again Erin has blown my mind with a fabulous series of posts titled, "Divorce in Professional Athletics."  It is a topic that many people who are not married to professional athletes have questions about.   And on the flip side I have met many wives along my journey that are constantly worried about what their husbands are doing while on the road.  Please take a look at her recent series to get some insight on how some basketwives and their husbands keep their marriage strong!

My Walgreens Trip: 3/15

I decided to change things up this week since Rite Aid didn't have anything that I needed nor wanted.  So I went to Walgreens this week instead.

My total OOP was $5.24.  I also received $1 RR that is good at Walgreens or at Walmart.  Not my best deals but not too shabby!

Hillsong United: Aftermath Concert

On Friday night, Adam and I headed to Boston to go see Hillsong United in concert.  One of the bandmates said he would leave tickets for us last week so when Friday rolled around we couldn't wait to get down there!  Adam was able to meet with someone he had been emailing with for months now but has actually never met.  Of course they talked basketball the entire time but I guess that's what you do when you both have played professionally!

There are no words to describe how amazing the concert was.  The presence of God was everywhere!  The feeling of people coming together to sing for the same reason was just unreal.  I felt honored to be there and it was a night I will never forget!  Boston was their last stop for this tour but I am pretty sure they come back to the states in late July or August.  If they're playing anywhere by you, you should really check them out!

Playful Words

Parents, I need advice.

Jayden has just started getting into action figures.  He loves Batman and Transformers.  He has never watched either of them on TV or in a movie so I have no idea what he is so into them.  While he plays with them he often uses harsh words such as "kill," "dead," "hurt," etc.  Those words are definitely not allowed during regular play.  When I asked him why he is using such harsh and mean words he responded by saying, "Momma, bad guys need to die because they hurt other peoples feelings.  They are mean and the good guys are killing them so they can win!"  He said it with some much passion as if he was making the world a better place.

For a just turned 4 year old, I think while playing with action figures there are plenty of other words he could be using.  At the same time, he did make a pretty valid point.  So parents, non-parents, and everyone else, what do you think?  Please, your honest feedback would be appreciated!
