UNC Basketball

Some of you that know me know that I am a crazy Tar Heel fan. I didn’t go to UNC for undergraduate or graduate school, but when I moved down here, I started watching games and actually started to root for them during the disasterous 8-20 year. My favorite player in the last couple of years was Jackie Manuel. And of course, it was great following them last year when they won the national championship.

Husband and I always try to get tickets to a couple of games. The other night, we went to see the team play Cleveland State. I was a bit nervous — this is a young team and I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Four freshman played significant minutes and the team looked very sloopy at times, but it was a fun game to watch.

My favorite two moments? Watching Quentin Thomas dunk (hysterical) and Byron Sanders scoring the 100th point.

This year’s favorite player(s): It will take more than one player to take Jackie’s place. It will be split between Byron Sanders and Bobby Frasor.

Go Heels! It should be fun to watch…

Happy Thanksgiving!!

So, a quick post to write what I am thankful for this year. No particular order, just what comes to mind.

My husband. What a wonderful year and 8 months we have had married and all the years before we were married. I love him so much.

My family. It’s great to have Mom, Dad and Brother here for Thanksgiving. I am so blessed to have always had them in my life, loving me (and laughing at me).

My friends – old and new. Especially my ‘posse’ at work. They help me not take life too seriously.

My work – I really love what I do, and I think I do it well.

This semester, I started taking classes for the first time in eight years. I am thankful for a good, informative class with good instructors. I feel like I’ve learned so much and I’m doing well as well.

My house. Husband and I bought it in May and we have had so much fun making it ours. Much more to do, but I love the ability to do it with him.

My health. In the past year, no pneumonia — and only 3 bouts of bronchitis. This is good! Hopefully, when I meet with my dr. in December, I will be able to get my asthma better under control.

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all. Enjoy it…
