Butler Bulldogs Repeat History

April 4th, 2011

Saturday night, Brad and I witnessed history being repeated in fairytale fashion.

Are You A Bulldog?

(We interrupt our regularly scheduled Disney update post for this important timely message…) March Madness is always a special time in Indiana, and especially in our house. We watch with hope each year as our teams battle for position in the NCAA tournament. Jen is a life-long Indiana Hoosiers fan, and I grew up in …

Easter ______ (Fill in the Blank)

I can already feel the butterflies in my stomach. ————————————————————– The …

“I Just Caught Fire, I Was As Hot As a Pistol”

March 19th, 2010

March Madness. It’s the best television of the year (in my humble opinion). I love the intensity, the upsets, the team spirit, and the inspiration. My favorite basketball inspirational story has to be the story of Jason McElwain, an autistic basketball manager turned sensation. I love not only the heart of this player, but the …
