Wii tennis - Bumans vs. Sorgius

Last Saturday night we had a game night at Caleb and Emily's house. The first thing we did was play a little Wii tennis. This was my first opportunity to play Wii. It was really fun and we got really into it.

After Wii we played our new favorite game, which does not have a name, but is kind of like telephone but alternates writing a sentence for a picture you see and illustrating a sentence you read. One of the funniest sentences we had that night began with "Darth Vador cannot destroy Luke and R2D2." Then it progressed to "Luke is consumed by the flames while a wheel-chair bound Vador observes." It was so funny to read after we had finished the round.

Florida Gators take on Tennesse

We were very blessed to be able to go to the final Gator's SEC basketball game of the 2007-2008 season. It was amazing that anyone would give up their Florida vs. Tennesse tickets, but we got the opportunity to go. It was on ESPN and the game didn't start until 9 pm, but we couldn't turn down the offer. Our friends Chauncey and Rose took us. Chauncy got the tickets from a big time donor to UF athletics (both football and basketball). With the tickets came passes to go to dinner on the 3rd level of the football stadium. The view of the field from up there was amazing. We also got to get our pictures taken with the 2006 and 2007 NCAA Men's basketball trohpies. You could tell that if you were up here before any basketball game you had some serious money and donated a ton to the University. Just before we headed down for the game Urban Myer and his wife game up to get some thing to eat. We had seen him the night before at the F.C.A banquet where he shared his testimony.

Red Sox Spring Training in Ft. Myers

One of the things that I have always wanted to do ever since we knew we were going to be living in Florida was to go to a Red Sox spring training game. Ironically, we got an invitation to go with Springfield College alumni and took them up on it.

On the weekend of the game we drove to Sarasota and spent Friday night at Dave and Joetta's house. Saturday morning we drove to Ft. Myers. There were 3 Dunkin Donuts right next to the stadium!!! Just like in Boston!! We stopped for some iced coffee.

I did not pay close attention to where the game was being held. I assumed it would be where the Red Sox usually play. OOPS. We showed up to the ball park and no one was there. Luckily the game was only 6 miles down the road at the Minnesota Twins stadium. The coolest part about showing up to the wrong stadium was that we got to get our pictures taken with the 2 World Series trohpies that the Red Sox in 2004 and 2007.

After a barbeque lunch with the Springfield College Alumni we watched the game. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed and chill. The weather was perfect. They announced how cold it was in bost Boston and Minnesota and made a joke that it was only 80 degrees in at the partk.

Valentine's Day!

For Valentine's Day Matt and I stayed home and cooked a meal together. We made beef and broccoli and fried rice. For dessert we heated up frozen fruit mixed with a little lemon juice and sugar and served it over vanilla ice cream. YUMMY! The meal turned out great. Afterwards we played a heated game of Scrabble. Yeah we're nerds, but it was fun. We got each other a gift without the other finding out. I got Matt a Stanford red Under Armor t-shirt and a pair of heart Gap boxers. Matt got me a Nike Gator t-shirt and Gator socks. It was fun to be surprised. We both know each other really well.

We're moving to CALFORNIA!!!!

I am sorry that it has been a long time since I have updated the Blog. Things have been really crazy around here. The big news in our lives is that Matt accepted a post doc at Stanford University. He will be starting September 1st. We will be moving to the west coast sometime this summer. God has totally led us to Stanford and made it clear that He wants us there. We are super excited!

I have been applying and interviewing for jobs for the past 3 weeks. I can't believe that I haven't don any blogging in almost 2 months. We really have been doing some cool things. I finally have a free night and so I am going to try to update you on our life over the past 2 months.
