NWC Ball.

Ok, so 2 weekends ago was our last regular season travel weekend. we hit up Mankato and New Ulm. the team had a great time and these were some pics of my players that i just couldn't pass up posting. we won both games that weekend, which was really good- and fun!Friday we had a tough lose against Northland, but had a good win on Saturday against St. Scholastic. Saturday was a really fun and special day for our team. We had what we called our 'Pink Zone' Day, which is just a day that we as a team wanted to bring awareness to breast cancer, honor some survivors and those still battling cancer, and than try to raise some money. We all wore pink t-shirts...even the coaching staff,

had some fun give aways. We had four ladies that we honored. one of our players grandma who has been cancer free for years now, another lady who has a very unique and special relationship with 2 of our players who is currently fighting it, and than 2 good friends of Linda. It was fun to honor them, to show them support and to stand firm in praying for them. I think having awareness days like this are so important...and it's super fun to see our players help bring awareness. It was a good day.

And it made Valentines day go faster for me. I am sure valentines day for most people is a fun day to celebrate love and to be all mushy with your special someone, but for me it's a horrible day. i hate it. honestly, i do! I've never had a boyfriend to celebrate v-day with and or do i care to (that is care to celebrate the day...I'd really care to have a boyfriend) i am sure that if i did my opinion would change, but right now it's just a day that seems to be a money maker more than anything. i hope that if i ever do get a boyfriend that we spend every day finding ways to celebrate what ever it is we have, instead of just doing it on Feb 14th. It is hard to just stand bye and watch all my friends make plans and get all excited about that day, and i sit at home alone....bored, with a bad attitude. yeah- that's how i felt last night. but- it was really really good that i had 'Pink Zone' to make the day go faster and to remember that there are bigger and more important things to be aware of and celebrate, besides v-day. so i actually only had a bad attitude from about 8:30p.m til when i feel asleep (11:00). so- whatever. although i did get flowers on Friday, which was a super fun surprise and very uplifting. Megan, who is a NWC Eagle baller grad came in to do devo's on Friday before the game. She is fantastic, and did a great job bringing truth about 'waiting' on the Lord. She makes me proud...not that i impacted her spiritual walk (Jesus is doing that), but it just makes me smile to see how well our players grow up and do life outside of the bubble and confines of NWC. anyways- she left and when she came back to the game she presented me with 2 red roses and told me that she thought i was beautiful and that she wanted to honor that....seriously- super cool of her. i wonder at how much of that was Megan driven or God using Megan as a gift!...cuz i needed something a little uplifting. yeah- cheesy, but so good. T hanks Megan.
