THANKFUL THURSDAY

Last night was our end of the year banquet. We spent the night celebrating the 2010-11 season and honoring our seniors, Krysten and Marisha.  It was a chance for us to thank our season ticket holders, Hardwood Club (booster club) members, and administrators. Our seniors get a chance to give a (brief) speech and it usually gets pretty emotional. Last night was no exception.  It was a great night.

I know, horrible pic. But I had to show how cute they all looked dressed up!

 After the banquet the staff went to the Oread and had some drinks, shared a bunch of stories and laughed a whole lot. It was the perfect way to put the '10-'11 season to bed. We've been through a lot, accomplished a lot, and we are a better and stronger staff for it.   Driving home I was just thankful. Thankful that I get to work with my best friends every day. Thankful that I have a great boss who, although sometimes can be difficult (Love ya, Bonnie. You know that. :) ) , is supportive and generous. Thankful that I'm comfortable in my work enviroment and I don't mind going to work every morning, sometimes I'm actually excited. I'm also thankful that I get to work on a college campus with young women everyday. Watching them grow and knowing I am helping them is gratifying. I just wish they would stop missing layups! HA!  Really, my only beef is that I don't make a whole lot of money but I make enough to keep Lulu and I safe (Shout out to Mom and Dad. wink wink.) . Here are some fun pics from the year, our staff and our players.

After we beat RANKED Iowa State!

PINK zone game. My fave game for obvious reasons.

My media guide pic this year. Just think it's a cute pic :)

As you can see, we really do have a good time together.  I am so blessed.

I can't wait for next season, ladies! I'm sooooo proud of you all! Enjoy the summer. I know I will :)


Smooches and Rock Chalk,
