Yay for sleepovers!

Yesterday Kiana and I were able to have my cute niece, Tayleah Reese Spaulding, spend the night with us. She is such a fluppin cutie! Nish had to come over to run a few errands, and we insisted that she let Tay spend the night with us in good ole C-Town.

We had great fun talking, making jokes, watching movies, getting ice cream, and sleeping. Tay's spunky personality is so contagious! She keeps me on my toes...by reminding me what we can't say....:) i.e. hate, shut up, etc....(shhh! don't tell her I typed them) She also has THE cutest laugh! For as long as I can remember, she would crawl up onto my lap, raise up her arms and say, Kait, tickle me! How adorable is that?? So I would of course tickle her upon her requests :)

My world stopped last year in November when I couldn't tickle my Tayleah, because of the i.v's, stitches, nausea, etc. I would just have to sit and hold her tiny hand while I watched her go day in and day out of being sick. It broke my heart watching her go through the roller coaster of the tumor, cancer, chemo, shots, iv's, etc.

As I laid her down to sleep last night, (she had fallen asleep on me while watching a movie), I wrapped my arms around her small body and hugged her while tears fell from my eyes. I thanked my father in heaven for this moment. I thanked him for letting this cute and spirited angel continue to be in my life. I thanked him for healing her so she can once again climb into my lap and plead, tickle me Kait. I thanked him for Primary Children's Hospital, because without it, neither one of us would have beem lying in my bed that night. I am so grateful for Tayleah Reese.

The First Thanksgiving...well not really, but close!

This past Thanksgiving was one to remember. The tribe had the opportunity to go down to visit our Grandma Livingston in New Mexico. This usually ends up being about eight hours in a jam packed car...but with the weather bein' crazy, this trip took about eleven hours! That is a long time in a car! But there is never a dull moment with our family. We caravan-ed down in the good ole mini van and The Spauldwin's SUV...or whatever it is called.

We finally pulled into Coyote Canyon around 9pm. It was so great seeing Grandma! Every time we take a trip down there, I am humbled. I am truly blessed to live the life I have. (FYI-Grandma just got electricity a couple of years ago...gotta love the rez!) I also am so very grateful for Grandma's cookin'!! She makes the best stew and tortillas!

We woke up bright and early, thanks to the Spauldwin skids. (They have been sick and it makes me so sad :(, but they are champs and I love them so much!) We watched the Macy's Day Parade. My absolute favorite parts were the dancing penguins and the pizza dough flippers! haha!! It was great.

I spent most of my time crocheting....I know that sounds old lady, but oh well! I love to crochet! I finally finished my very first blanket! I started it right after Dallon left....ha...so I've had plenty of time to get it done...oh well...I finished! That is all that matters! I then started to make headbands for everyone. It was great.

Dinner was absolutely delicious! Grandma and Aunt Jalula did a wonderful job. As usual, I ate too much. But that is what Thanksgiving is all about, right? Kiana also made Jeep a pilgrim hat, so it was like the first Thanksgiving!! haha! We made him and my dad pose :)

I am so very grateful for every blessing I have in my life. Throughout the month of November, I put something I was thankful for each day on my facebook status. (Give me a break, I work in a computer lab;) So I won't go into great detail about my specifics of thanksgiving in my life...just read my latest posts, or hit me up on facebook :) I hope your Thanksgiving was a magical as mine was :)

Wedding :)

This past weekend I had the opportunity to support Krista and Derek. I have known Krista since the beginning of time...five years. Actually it has been longer than that, but I just had to throw The Little Rascals in :) But for three years I compete against Krista in every sport imaginable....well in every sport offered at our respected schools. Whenever we would play against Wayne I always got chosen to defend Krista...and if you don't know...there's a bit of a height different...so she always had an advantage.

But one time when Wayne came to play in Milford she was guarding me and we were down by two points. My teammate in bounded the ball to me and I scored the tying basket to send us into overtime. Towards the end of overtime my team was down by one, and once again I got in bounded the ball and scored the winning basket with Krista defending me. Four points in one game was very unusual for me, considering I just liked to play defense and didn't worry about scoring. So I was pretty happy that day.

Let's fast forward down the road a few years later when I went to school and met Dallon. He came over to my house with some friends and we were introduced. He said he was from Wayne. So I, being the creep I am, asked for his last name.. he told me it was Durfey. Then I asked sheepishly, are you Krista's brother and sure enough, he was.

Fast forward a couple of months after meeting Dallon....to the first time I went to Wayne to meet his family. It just so happened that it was a day that Krista would be playing in her senior night basketball game. On the way to Bicknell, as I grew more and more nervous about meeting Dallon's family, he decided to share with me a little story that did NOT help my nerves. He began to tell me about the time he told his family, mainly his sisters, that he was dating a girl. Krista asked who it was and he told her it was me. She replied, Kaitlin Livingston? I don't like her, because during one of our games she made a lucky shot twice and Milford beat us, something that they never do. I turned to Dallon and said, just rock me to sleep why don't ya!!


Now fast forward to Saturday, November 20, 2010. I was in attendance when Krista Hill walked out of the Draper temple all dressed in white, hand in hand with her eternal companion Derek Hill. All of those years of being jealous of Krista Durfey, the basketball, track, and volleyball star who was tall, gorgeous, and better at everything than me, were non-existent as tears filled my eyes when we embraced and she thanked me for coming. She is still the funny and beautiful Krista, but I still hope to be like her someday. Not just because she is an amazing athlete, or smart, or tall, but because she is such a great example to me. I can't wait until I can be married for time and all eternity to the love of my life.

I am so grateful for the Durfey family and for the opportunity that I was able to support Derek and Krista enter into the next stage of their life. I am also so very grateful that I could become one of Krista's friends, rather than just a girl who made two lucky shots to win the game. :)

Concert of the Century!

So a couple of months ago I got a concert update for some concerts up north. As I glanced over the list, I tried to find any worth going to and then I read three words that made my heart miss a beat. Hey Monday, Cartel. AHH! I then looked at the date of the concert and realized it was on MahLee's birthday! I thought to myself, what a great present...to go see her favorite band Hey Monday. So I texted Dalaki and had him meet me in the computer lab so I could show him the line up for the concert of the century! When he read the line up his eyes grew wide and he gasped, just like I had done a few minutes previously.

It took quite awhile to make all of the plans, because there was so much going on. But when it was all said and done, Saturday the 13th, we loaded up in the van and headed to what was going to be an epic night! Kiana was ever so kind as to be our chauffeur and mom brought along Akaydeh, so they could do some shopping. Time practically stood still as we all anticipated concert. But the time finally arrived for us to go to The Avalon to stand in line.

After an hour of waiting outside in a long line, we got told we were in the wrong line :( So we went to the other line, which was even longer than the one we were standing in :( and when we got into the doors they told us we were in the wrong line again! I started panicking....we only had will call tickets...and it was sold out....so I didn't think we were even going to get in. But desperate times call for desperate measures. I informed some people that they were in fact in the wrong line because we were just there, and we took over their spot in line. Usually I'm not a line cutter, but tonight was different. I didn't want to disappoint MahLee on her birthday...so long story short...we finally got in and got some rockin seats!!


It was such a great concert! Dalaki, Mckayla, Daezia, MahLee and I had so much fun rockin out to some great bands. It is probably a good thing that I don't live up north because I would be broke because I would just go to concerts ALL the time! It is such a thrill being in a venue, jumping up and down rocking out to music and singing the amazing lyrics back to the bands! My favorite band that played was Cartel by far! The lead singer is so amazing!! AH! They also played some of my favorite songs! It was just amazing! I can't wait to go to another one of their concerts.

As I sat there in between bands, I thought back to m y first real concert that was two years ago, Dallon took me to Boys Like Girls for my birthday. I thought that was a great time....but after going to warped tour and learning new bands, I have become a concert junkie. And that's fine! So moral of the story...this was an EPIC night!

Trexton Jeep Spaulding

These past couple of days I have been able to spend some quality time with my adorable nephew Trexton Jeep Spaulding. He is such a flippin cutie! Kiana, Dalaki, and I have had a blast spoiling him. We have a great time watching movies, making and eating treats, playing at the McDonald's play place, taking naps, going to a volleyball game, and our favorite-running on the "huge track" in the PE building. (It's actually a rather small track, but it is three stories in the air, above the basketball courts, so Trex calls it the huge track.)


Yesterday when we laid down to watch The Lion King, Trex's eyes grew droopy and I knew he was ready for a nap. I said, "I love you Trex." He responded, "I love you Kait." It made my heart smile. Then I asked, "Trex, are you sleepy tired?" He slowly nodded and then closed his eyes. I sat there holding this angel while he slept. I gave him a kiss on the forehead and thanked my father in heaven for blessing me with such great nieces and nephews.

I tried to picture the future...of me holding my own child and tears filled my eyes. When people ask why I'm not married yet, I usually give the response, "I'm no where near mature enough for that stuff!" And it is the truth! Don't get me wrong, someday, down the road...a long ways down the road, I'll be a wife and mother, but that time will come soon enough. So, until then I will thoroughly enjoy my time as an aunt. Thanks Nish and Jeep for having such great kids!

THANKFUL NOVEMBER

Can I just say that I love November! I am going to start this month off right by posting what I am thankful for. There are so many things, but I am going to do my best at hitting the main ones.

I, Kaitlin Jo Montanna Livingston am grateful for my loving parents that sacrifice so much for me to have the wonderful life I have, my siblings that are always there for me, my friends that bring so much happiness into my life, technology, music, Chandler Bing, modern medicine, Primary Children's Hospital, sleep, my job, SUU, my roommates, my car, my phone, my great cousins, laughing until my abs hurt, concerts, smiling, my room-roommate Kiana Don, my english tutor Dalaki Jym, my inter-mural vb team, high school pals that play pick up games and make me laugh so much, the love of my best friend Elder Dallon Durfey and his family, letters from Brazil, the internet, my adorable nieces and nephews, my loving sister Nisha, texting, voicemails, basketball, running, visiting teachers, institute classes/friends/teachers, prophets and apostles, my bishop and ward church leaders, but most of all, I am grateful for the gospel in general and the peace it brings into my life.

Halloween Fun

I have had so much fun this past week. It was long overdue! I first had the opportunity to attend our annual Sisters Weekend....it is a tradition Nish, Kiana, and I started where we go up to UVU and watch the state volleyball tournament. It is always a great time! We have great chats, rock out, laugh, and eating sessions. We also get to soak up the crazy world of volleyball!
After we had a great time shopping and watching the tournament, we headed home to Milford. And the party began! Kiana came up with the brilliant idea to dress up as Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. Needless to say, it was a blast!! We took the kids around town and received many compliments on our costumes...who knew what a couple of Rockband drum sticks, makeup, graduation robes, glasses, scarves, and some hand colored Gryffindor badges could do?!

All in all, Halloween 2010 was a success! The Livingston trio can't wait until Halloween 2011!! We have great ideas for years to come!

See ya later...not goodbye

As I have been trying to grasp reality these past two days, I have read over many thoughts of family members and friends. They all have written such beautiful tributes to my Grandpa Fisher. It was like they were taking the words right out of my mouth when they wrote them. So as I sat down to write my own tribute I doubt my writing abilities. I have never been quite the eloquent writer like my sisters, cousins, aunts, etc, so bear with me if you continue to read my tribute to Ira Mitchell Fisher.

Grandpa, thank you for making me into the person I am today. Without your many stories, voices included, poached eggs, ice cream, licorice, pink and white mints, (but mostly the pink ones) birthday cards, Priesthood blessings, hugs, pictures, rides, counsel, and your unconditional love, I would not be here in the ELC writing this tribute to you. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to live right next door to you. I always knew that you would be a few short steps away, at any hour of the day or night. Your house and presence was a safe haven for so many and I am grateful for the wonderful peace I feel when I think of you being reunited with your lovely wife. But I will miss you.

I will miss how your face lights up when I would walk through your front door or into your bedroom. I will miss your 20 questions of what I have been up to, where I have traveled, and where my next plans will take me. I will miss coming to you when I am broken in need of a blessing. I will miss going into your office, sitting on your chair, letting you back up and support yourself against your desk, and then laying your hands upon my bowed head. I will miss saying Amen and instantly turning around embracing you with tears falling freely. I will miss coming to sing to you every Sunday after church.

But because of you I will never settle for less than my best. I will someday graduate with my bachelors degree in education, because I hope to be at least half of the teacher you are. Because of you I have a firm testimony of the gospel. I will strive to live my life to find a companion who will honor his Priesthood and take me to the temple to be sealed for time and all eternity. I will strive to be patient, loving, giving....the list goes on and on. Because of you I will do everything I can to be with you forever.

So I, along with the rest of your posterity, want to say thank you for being you. Thank you for your love and example. See ya later.....

ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

Today I would like to list things I am grateful for. As I sat listening to conference I was overwhelmed with so many feelings of gratitude. I know just posting this saying "thank you" to all of you who make my life wonderful will not be suffice, but it is a start. So here it goes...

First, I am so very grateful for my family. They are what keeps me going in this crazy life of mine. I know they will always be there for me, ALL WAYS! I am so grateful for the relationships I have with my parents and siblings. I look at families who aren't very close, and it makes me so much more grateful for my tight knit relationships I have with my family. I love them all so much! I also am grateful for the many examples and friends I have in my extended family. I love to get caught up with them each time we visit.

I am so grateful for my family in good ole Wayne County. There are too many to count, that have extended their loving arms to me and have accepted me for who I am. I am so grateful when I get the chance to have a get away weekend to my second home. It is the greatest!

I am so grateful for this gospel and for conference! I sat in awe as I listened to the many wonderful speakers who are instruments in our Father in Heaven's hands. I am so grateful for the beautiful hymns that were sung. These profound songs have brought so much peace and comfort into my crazy life.I am so grateful for this beautiful Earth that we are able to live on. I am so grateful for rain storms, sunshine, and everything in between!! I am so grateful for the mountains! Whenever I am having a hard time, I load up in my car and go for a drive up the canyon...what a great tender mercy that is!

I am so grateful for my brother and Savior Jesus Christ. I am grateful for his sacrifice. I am grateful that he chose to pay for my sins, sorrows, and pains. The Atonement is real, and I know that if I take that step of faith to use it, I can be clean again. I am so grateful for this knowledge! I know that I am far from perfect, but a quote that I really like states, "Being perfect doesn't mean doing everything right. Being perfect means to constantly strive to be perfect." So that is what I am going to do. Strive constantly to be that much better.

If you are reading this, thank you! Thank you for taking the time to catch up on what I've been doing in my busy life. Believe it or not, but at one time or another, you have influenced my life. Thank you for helping me become who I am today. Thank you for being my friend, sister, family, or acquaintance. :) You're the best!!

LOVE

This past week, the Fisher family said goodbye to a son, father, grandfather, uncle, brother, and friend, Michael K. Fisher. After a long battle with sickness, he passed through this life and on into the next, to join Grandma Beth, Uncle Rob, and many others. For his funeral services, my mother had the idea to sing a popular country song to pay our respects. I, along with Aunt Rhonda, Christie, Daezia, April, Rachel, Kiana, Nish, Dalene, and Shelley Mom, sang Temporary Home, accompanied by our concert pianist Melanie. As we sang this song my heart went out to my Uncle Mike's family, along with the rest of our family. I then was filled with the spirit, testifying of this amazing gospel. It testifies that death is not the end. I know that I will be able to live with my family FOREVER if I will do what is right. I am far from perfect, but perfection is not just about doing every little thing right, it is constant striving to be perfect. The love that I feel when I am in the presence of my family makes my testimony that much stronger. A lot of our family was able to come join in paying our respects to this amazing man; Oh how I have missed each and every one of them! (I also missed all of those that could not make it.) I wish we could get together more often, but I will take what I can get.

Moral of the story: I love my family, and I love the gospel.
The end.

Family...isn't it about time

There is nothing in the world quite like walking into the door of my sisters house and hearing a chorus of KAIT! being sung by my nieces, nephews, and siblings. It makes me feel ever so loved! As the chorus rings on, I get bombarded with hugs, kisses, stories, etc. I love my family! They bring so much joy into my life and I don't know where I would be without them.

Yesterday Kiana and I had to opportunity to go home for a couple of hours and it was totally worth it! I wanted to get a few pictures of everyone being happy and silly. Tay turned to me and said Kait, I missed you! Where were you? So I had to explain how I am going to college and such. Then she asked if she could braid my hair...flip she's a cutie!!

I love each and every one of my family members and I am so grateful for their love, hugs, smiles, kisses, stories, laughs....I could go on for days! But I think you are getting the point :)

Warped Tour 2010

On Saturday I was able to go to one of the greatest places on Earth! I went to Warped Tour 2010 in Salt Lake with my body guard, a.k.a Dalaki. I was able to see some of my most favorite bands, as well as rock out with thousands of other people. It was such a thrill!

I have not always been familiar with this music scene and I have two people to thank. First, I have to thank Dalaki. He tried for so long to get me into this kind of music, bless his heart, but I just wouldn't have it. It wasn't until I started dating Dallon that I grew to love this music scene. Last year was my first warped tour experience and I was a pure rookie! But don't you fret, I knew what was up this time around and it was EPIC! I got tons of autographs, free stuff, and memories that will last forever. So I want to give a shout out to two of my favorite guys, Dalaki and Dallon!! You guys rock!

There is something about being in a crowd of hundreds of people, jumping up and down, singing the lyrics to amazing songs, and then the lead singer looks at you and your eyes connect...AHH! I wouldn't trade it for anything! It was so much fun!!

I got a couple pictures with some amazing musicians. I.E....The lead singer from Mayday Parade, Anarbor, and my personal fave, The guitarist/pianist/back up vocalist for The Cab!! I forget that they are normal people because they are so good at what they do! Last year I was too shy to ask for a photo or their Herbie Hancock and every time I turned down Dallon's offer to go meet a band, he simply would reply...Kait, they are people just like us! Then I added, yeah with a lot more money! But nonetheless, this year I was not shy and was able to meet some amazing people. In the end, Warped Tour for this guy was a complete SUCCESS! Thanks Vans!! Until we meet again...Warped Tour 2011!!

O My Father

This has been a bitter sweet weekend. A couple of weeks ago my mother got cornered by one of the counselors in the bishopric. He asked her if our family would be willing to do the program for sacrament meeting. She of course said yes and went to work trying to figure out what the plan should be. She came up with the idea to have everyone in our family pick our favorite hymn/primary song and share our feelings about them. As most of you know, when we all get together there are 13 of us! That is a lot of singing/talking if you think about it. So, me being my OCD self went to work trying to figure out just how much time each person could take so that we didn't go over the allotted time frame. (Which turned out being roughly 4 minutes per person to share their feelings and perform their song.) I'm not gonna lie...I was a bit of a crazy slave driver as we practiced and went over the agenda, but it all worked out so I feel much better now that it is over. So you are probably wondering what songs we all picked, well here is the line-up. Dad: I am a Child of God. Mom: My Heavenly Father Loves Me (Piano Solo) Nish: How Firm a Foundation (A Capella-Nish-Kiana-Rachel-Kaitlin-Melanie-Rhonda-Shelley) Jeep: Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy (Jeep-Koda-Dalaki-David-Tim) Kin: A Child's Prayer (Livingston children-Shelley) Tay: Follow the Prophet(Primary Kids) FYI Tay knows all of these words by heart :) Kiana: Where Can I Turn for Peace (Solo) Koda/Kaitlin: O My Father (Entire family) Dalaki: Let Us All Press On (Same as Brightly Beams line up) Daezia: For the Beauty of The Earth (Solo) MahLee: I'll Walk With You (MahLee-Kaitlin) Akaydeh: Give Said the Little Stream (Primary Kids) It was quite the experience being able to bear my testimony of each of these songs we presented. Because of the holiday weekend, we were able to add a few more voices and piano players to our program. Thank so much to Rachel, Melanie, David, Rhonda, Uncle Tim, as well as Richard and Shirley. We were able to give the program variety as we had different people perform each song. I decided on O My Father because it has great a special place in my heart. One day I was over at my Grandpa Fisher's house playing the piano and I asked him what his favorite hymn was. He replied, well I love them all, but I especially like O My Father. I have spoken at numerous funerals throughout my lifetime and I would refer to this hymn most of the time. I would do so.

I then went to page 292 and read through the words to this beautiful song. This is where I gained my testimony of The Plan of Salvation, The Plan of HAPPINESS. As a struggling young teen I was overcome with the spirit as I read the second verse, "For a wise and glorious purpose thou hast placed me here on earth." Tears filled my eyes as I shared my testimony of this song when I was on the stand; which is something that does not happen very often with me. I hate crying, but I couldn't help it. My heart went out to my ailing grandfather who has taught me so much in my life. He has been a constant strength in my life and I love him dearly. I invited everyone in my family to sing this song with me because I knew that I could not perform it alone. As Melanie accompanied us, tears filled my eyes once again and I could only look at the hymn book as I sang the words in my heart because my voice failed me through the tears. I am so grateful for my grandfather who taught me so many things in my life, including the true meaning of this beautiful song.

Here are the words to an amazing hymn that will always remind me of my Grandpa Fisher.

O my Father, thou that dwellest
In the high and glorious place,
When shall I regain thy presence
And again behold thy face?
In thy holy habitation,
Did my spirit once reside?
In my first primeval childhood
Was I nurtured near thy side?

For a wise and glorious purpose
Thou hast placed me here on earth
And withheld the recollection
Of my former friends and birth;
Yet ofttimes a secret something
Whispered, “You’re a stranger here,”
And I felt that I had wandered
From a more exalted sphere.

I had learned to call thee Father,
Thru thy Spirit from on high,
But, until the key of knowledge
Was restored, I knew not why.
In the heav’ns are parents single?
No, the thought makes reason stare!
Truth is reason; truth eternal
Tells me I’ve a mother there.

When I leave this frail existence,
When I lay this mortal by,
Father, Mother, may I meet you
In your royal courts on high?
Then, at length, when I’ve completed
All you sent me forth to do,
With your mutual approbation
Let me come and dwell with you.

YOU SAVE ME

For those of you who don't know me and what I'm about here is some info, I LOVE QUOTES! I love to read all kinds of quotes and feel the emotion, intensity, and passion they possess. As I have sat and pondered about what to blog about this time around, I found this quote that says it all:

“Family means too much, Friends are too valuable, And life is too short, To put-off sharing with people, How much they really mean to you, And pursuing whatever it is that makes you happy.”

I don't know where I would be without my wonderful family and amaze-ze-zing friends!! I look back at all of the fun I have had these past few weeks and find myself so very grateful for these people in my life who have been there with me to lend a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold, a laugh session to join in with, or just a listening ear. Thank you for all of the texts, calls, visits, etc....I am so happy right now in my life because of YOU! So thank you!!

Row-dee-oh!

Can I just say that I love rodeos!! The summer games came through yet again to bring me happiness! I got the chance to go with my friend Jessica to the Wendy Wood Memorial Rodeo, the Summer Games closing ceremonies. I was distraught when we found out there wouldn't be fireworks, but nonetheless, we had a great time!!

One of my most favorite things to do is people watch. And what a great thing to do at a rodeo! Not only did I get to spend my Friday night with a great friend, but we got to learn so much about cowboy life! We also got to go again the following night...it was totally rufus!!

Jessika and I learned really quick that we were rookies at this whole rodeo scene. Jessika was a little more on top of things because she had her boots on, but we still have a lot to learn! But don't worry, we are already making preparations for our next rodeo extravaganza so we don't look like such amateurs!

So thank you to everyone that made my rodeo outing a great one to remember!! I will probably never see you until the next rodeo but until then, git-r-done!!

Ballin'

First off today I would like to thank the people that put on the Summer Games. Were it not for them, I would not be as happy as I am right now. These past few weeks have been quite rough on the ole Krazy Kait. To sum up a few things that have taken place to make my head droop...

I hit a coyote on my way to work. It demolished my front bumper and it was pretty pricey to fix. Luckily, the guys at Premier Auto are amazing at fixing cars, so my car is back in business.


Then I had the opportunity to hang out with my friend Megan and guess what...I locked my keys in my car!! Don't you hate that?? I know I do. Luckily, I have amazing Macgyver skills and broke into my car within a matter of minutes.


Then as I sat watching the NBA finals I literally threw up in my mouth when the Lakers won. I HATE the Lakers and wanted the Celtics to win so bad!! But they couldn't quite cut it, I just couldn't catch a break!



Which brings me back to being grateful for the Summer Games. Everyone has a passion in their lives. Something they live for, mine just so happens to be basketball. Thanks to the Summer Games I have been able to get over being so down with life. As I was on my way to work, I walked through the Centrum to get out of the wind. While I was walking I heard the sound that is music to my ears....a basketball bouncing on a court!!
Basketball brings me so much happiness!! I could watch it for days on end! Call me crazy, but basketball is what gets inside me. It's what lights me up, and I can't deny that. (Kudos to Jimmy Dugan) There are games going on in the Centrum and seeing how I work on campus, I am able to catch a minute or two, to give me that boost of energy to make it though the day.
