Well, the game tonight will make me either a very happy man or a very sad man. Anyone who knows my family and I knows that we put so much of our energy and heart into the Kansas basketball team. If we win I will cry, if we lose I will cry.
GO KU!
EDIT: OMG! KU WINS THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!! AND YES! I CRIED!

April 7th was a Huge day for me.... As I sat and watched the game (4:00 am Baghdad, Iraq time)all I kept thinking was: Please God, let them win, it will make my family so happy! It was their father's birthday and the 5 year anniversary for the date she left the States to come to thie God forsaken place. She is exhausted, I am exhausted, but at 6:30 am our time, she was running around our hooch screaming, laughing and yelling because KU won. She isn't a fan and is from Georgia, but she knew how important it was to me and jumped right in with me. I smiled all day yesterday and wore my KU shirt. When Leanne called right after the game ended, we cried together. I wish I had been there, but I felt so connected to my family and all I kept thinking was how happy and excited I knew they were. We had all sat around the TV for 20 years together and watched every game of the tourney, always praying it would be the year. With our hearts broken so many times, we were always able to forgive and go for it again the next year. This is a very wonderful time for us, even though I am not there, I feel it strongly here. I am glad my son's tears were of Joy this year. Congrats to all the loyal KU fans out there. We know what it means for sure!!!!! Julie/Mom PS. You will get use to us Melanie... It just takes a little time. They get their anxiety from me... :)
