hello out there

So, the internet is down at my house, so I'm at the local coffee shop for now...it is nice though to be out of the house. So, what to update on....I suppose I'll start with my recent trip to Green Bay to see the Lions and oh yea, my brother who is a coach ;) I left St. George on Saturday morning and was back by Monday afternoon, so a short trip that was worth it!!! I got to hang with Jay saturday night and we at Lombardi's Steak house, it was great food and we got to catch up on the past few months, just the two of us. Sometimes it is nice to sit and talk with my brothers one on one, and remember they are two men who have watched me grow up and have spent more time with me than most people. The restaraunt was really neat too, a lot of old packers photos, old timey music. On my way back from working out I ran into Jim Schwartz (our old d coordinator) and it was like running into a family member...surprise surprise, i got choked up! I have known him since I was 15, I was there the day his twins were born, used to babysit his kids and have grown up a lot around him. Jay later told me that he was smiling from ear to ear after I left...how cool! Bonds in the NFL are deep...that's for sure. I feel like I'm jumping around a lot, but stick it out...That night we watched football and then because we are old fuddy duddies, we went to bed before 11. The next day I made my way to Green Bay, a town that is similar to Shelby in size and excitment! I got there and it was around 41 degrees...cold for a girl who has been in the desert. I got in and went to look at the field and jay was out there...so I went and chatted with him for a while. I wanted to see him warming up his gusy so i went and got some food (with cheese of course) and found my amazing seats. I saw Jay come out and run across the field and the emotions that came over me were so powerful! I was so full of pride and joy for my brother! I got a picture...here it is.

The O-line warms up in the corner of the end zone, like dad's guys! So, I was able to get lots of pics of Jay, I put them up on my Facebook, but here is my favorite...

We didn't win, but our two best players were out...we play them again on Thanksgiving and i will be there too...we will get our revenge then! I had a blast with jay and getting to see a new stadium and check a state off my list too! Such a productive weekend! Next season Susan is going to come with me! cant wait!
