UM won by 50 points last Saturday...

while most people are laughing at RichRod, we turned our attention to the sports we love. As you know, I am a crazy basketball fan and Corrie LOVES volleyball (being an ex-player and coach after all). So, with joy, we watched he #15 ranked Wolverines destroy some team in their home opener on Saturday having never even turned on the oblong-shaped-ballgame tha occured in Wisconsin just a few hours earlier. Also, Corrie is delighted to see the lady-Wolves climb all the way to #13 nationally. It will be exciting if both they and the Illini make the volley tourny coming up soon... thank God for the BT Network! With a bunch of new talent and solid returning upper classmen like Sims and Harris the basketball squad is poised to make the March Madness for the 2nd straight year. It'll be an exciting winter... oh yea, and somebody said there's a football game this weekend too :)

One time gift...

...of $200 came in today. Keep blowing Spirit! That brings us to 12% of our goals. (see column to the right for more details) It came at an amazing time since Adam's new job requires lots of driving and gas money is a must. THANK YOU friends for your love and support.

Purdue Trip...

Happy Monday Everyone!
Corrie's nephew Kyle plays in the marching band at Purdue University. So, Corrie and I went (left at 5am...uggh, but see pretty sunrise pic below) with Dave (her brother) and Jenn to see Kyle play at senior day this past Saturday. It was fun to share in all of the pagentry that went on. From the good-byes to the Seniors before the football game, to the halftime show and parent recognition, to the march out of the stadium and the special concert in the quad to end the day. We had a ball and the game was really entertaining and close... even though Purdue lost. West Lafayette is a beautiful place with a ton of history and tradition (oldest marching band in the USA, by the way). We'll post a few pics here (more on FaceBook) and 2 videos of them marching and of course the tubas for Zeke...lol! Kyle is one of the snares.
