Da' Bulls (and a cozy saturday night...)

Tonight I was thankful to be watching my roommates Dog, Zak, because he was my only company! We've spent some quality time relaxing and reading :o) However, I just turned the TV on and the end of Bulls second championship (against the Trailblazers) was on ESPN Classic. MJ hit his free throws with 11 seconds left to put them up four. I couldn't believe how excited I got! I knew they won, and I remember that moment, but it must have been the nostalgia of it all that got me so stoked... oh the good old days when the Bulls DOMINATED! I can't believe this was 15 years ago... I shouldn't be able to remember 15 years back! I can't wait for them to come back and be good again :) Guess I'll have to settle for watching (and rooting for) King James... sorry Chad! Go Bulls (and Cavs for now) :)

PS BJ Armstrong just hit a three at the beginning of Game six versus the Suns in 1993. This was a good game too!

On a more serious note...

Two nights ago I got word that my roommate from college, Kristen, had just found out that her mom was diagnosed with kidney cancer. When I met Kristen, she was the oldest of two kids, and her parents had JUST adopted a 5 year old boy. Since then, her parents have adopted 4 more children!!!! Her parents have been an amazing testimony of God's love for me. They have set up a blog to keep friends and family updated so we (as friends and family) know how to pray... I invite you, as my friends, to pray for them as well! Their blog is

My new love...

So today the athletics department traveled up to La Purisma to play golf in the Westmont Athletics Scholarship Challenge. I am NOT a golfer. I have never played golf. In fact, yesterday Kirsten and I went to the driving range to practice and I must have whiffed about 30 drives. Doh!

So this morning I stood at the ninth tee and took pictures of all of the participants. In between golfers, Dr. Glen Adams gave me some GREAT golf lessons. I couldn't believe the improvement! It was so much fun to be able to master part of the swing and move onto the "next step." Ok, master is not the best word, but I was definitely more comfortable swinging a golf club by the end of the day. Plus, I had a lot of fun! Have I found a new addiction?!?! :-)
