Hope College Wins!

Had a full day of work yesterday.  Five in the morning till five in the afternoon.  Seems I always have a headache at the end of a day at work.?  Work wise it was fine and now I am off until Tuesday.  I was pretty excited most of the day awaiting the next round of play in the NCAA- Div III tournament-Sweet Sixteen.

Jeff and I finally accessed a live stream of the game, and watched the Flying Dutch Women's Basketball win and advance to the the Elite Eight round of play.  We saw Sarah on the sidelines several times.  She looked very professional and of course beautiful as always. The Dutch play again tonight against Steven's Point-Wisconsin at 8pm. Go Dutch!  The listening link from my previous entry works just fine. However the video stream one didn't work. Jeff found a good one on the Hope site.

Once you get there, click on watch live video stream.  Look for Sarah, she stands at the end of the bleachers of the Hope Team.  Let's hope we can get to the Final Four!

Matthew is playing paintball this afternoon, with his buddy Mitch and  the "regular" group out at a member's home.  It is a rainy, cloudy day. Maybe that is good for paintball.  Matthew starts his segment II driver's course next week.  Then we  decide when we will let him take the road test. He wants to test right away, but he needs to have a car.  Still saving and waiting to hear from potential employers.  No job yet.  Baseball tryouts next week after school.  He is going to be busy.

Mary left this morning for Ann Arbor. Tonight the University of Michigan and Harvard University Glee Clubs will present a joint concert. I would love to hear that!  Our whole family is going to the spring concert next month.  Her trips to Ann Arbor are funded by her job at Jimmy's Pub and Grub on Friday evenings, three cello students and an English student. Mary did get a role in the spring play "Bleacher Bums".   Her role is Rose. She is also getting excited about finishing senior year.  There are lots of projects going on for the open house.  Which by the way will be June 12, 1-5 pm.  Time is really flying by now.

Jeff and I are going to go for lunch an shopping.  Tonight we will celebrate Matthew's baptism birthday.  We are having cheesecake!  He loves it.  Better get going.  Need to get ready for Sunday School as always on saturday.

PS:  I have created a group for March Madness competition.  If  you'd like to play...let me know.  I have sent out invites to those who have played before.
