Date Night!

Well, last night marked the last night before basketball season starts. To celebrate Mike and I had our “final dinner” before he will be gone every week night for practice and Friday nights for games. We still have Friday nights after games and all of Saturday nights but I think we just wanted an excuse to go out for a nice, romantic dinner. Seriously though, I am really excited for basketball season to start, I love the excitement of game days and watching Mike coach and get so into the games. It’s also great sitting in the stands and getting a chance to socialize with people I rarely see who come to Mike’s games to support him. This year, Mike’s school (Dougherty Valley High) finally has freshman, sophomores and juniors so they are going to have a Varsity team. It’s going to be tough playing against a bunch of schools that have seniors, but Mike is always up for a challenge.


Forbes Mill Steakhouse was really nice. We had never been there before, but Mike’s brother recommended it and we will definitely go there again. Mike got the Filet and veggies and I got the Chicken Penne and Vegetable Pasta. It was so good.

Then we came home and took some pics of ourselves marking the occasion. We need a tripod or automatic timer or something because these kinds of pics just aren’t cutting it. Here they are though.

Luke's getting bigger! (and so is mommy!)

We decided to watch Hoosiers after that to get us really in the basketball spirit. I had never seen this movie before but it is one of Mike’s favorites. It was really good and motivational.

It sure did the trick of getting Mike out of bed and out the door this morning by 7 to start bball tryouts! (on our day off by the way!)

I will keep the blog updated with Mike’s schedule and record this year, hopefully everyone can come out to a game and keep me company in the stands!
