Go Cats!

To say that we are Kentucky fans is an understatement. Thanks to Stew I became a fan early on in our relationship. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have married me if I hadn't. Our kids have also been inducted into the fan club as well. The boys are, well they are KY Crazy! They love anything and everything associated with UK. In fact, the boys room is completely decorated in a UK theme as well as our basement and Stew's bar.

Macie is probably the least biggest fan only because she isn't a huge sports enthusiast. She gets into the big games and the big rivalries but doesn't follow the regular games as much. She does always seems to find one basketball player that she really likes. This year she is into Josh Harrelson. He's a senior who is actually from St Charles. He went to St Charles High and knows a friend of ours who coached Owen's football team.

Last week she was playing around on her ipod and started searching for email addresses for Kentucky players. She found them and decided to send Harrelson an email. She told him she was a huge fan of Kentucky basketball and so was her family. She told him that she was from St Charles too, what grade she was in etc... To her surprise he responded! They have corresponded a few times and she is thrilled! Secretly, I think she is excited because she is one up on her brother's who would do just about anything to talk to or meet a Kentucky player. Anyway, I thought it was very sweet that he even thought to write her back. What a caring and thoughtful young man. He has surely brightened Macie's world and speaks volumes to the kind of kids that play ball at Kentucky.
