Today was a once-every-20-years sort of day! Our favorite team for life, the Kansas Jayhawks won the NCAA Basketball Championship! To digress for a second, last night my dad brought out my old Kansas Basketball jersey that I got in middle school for Christmas and told me that if I didn't wear it, the Jayhawks might lose... With that kind of pressure on my shoulders, I had no choice but to wear it today as I taught and went around town! Of course, Ben also did the same thing to Ikey, dressing him in all KU garb down to his socks! All day Ben and I took the scoffs of others telling us our team was going to lose and choke, but we held our heads up high and "kept the faith!" We also taught Isaac to say "Jayhawk" and "Go KU"... They sounded like "hawk!" and "Go too doo," not too bad!!
Ben, Ikey and I watched the game with Joni, Clay and Macy. It was quite the evening! We made a great meal out of it with soups and breadsticks and some great lemonade cake (Joni made).
I think the funnest part was the end when the Hawks had 2 minutes left to make up 9 points and by no small miracle, they pulled it off! We were all so happy that we were screaming and yelling and jumping around... Being the smooth one, I hit the light fixture with my fist and gave myself a nice bruise, but it was worth it!! There isn't a whole lot in sports worth getting so worked up over, but this, my friends, was it!
All in all, it was a great day and one for the record books:) We will remain true blue and suggest you do the same too!!
