BYU vs. Texas Volleyball

So we decided to take a trip to Austin and see some good volleyball in person. After about a 4 hour trip with Fisher upset about half of the time, we arrived at the University of Texas. WOW!!! Can I just say, "Holy Crap! What would it have been like to go to a school with money!!!!!" First of all, the football stadium was gigantic, all of the buildings were beautiful and even the building which held the volleyball gymnasium looked more like you were entering a wonderful artsy library. So anyway, a dear friend and someone I admire much, Shay Goulding, is now the Head Women's Volleyball coach for BYU - (way to go Shay!). She has an excellent team and now coaches a player, Christina Measom, who I once coached back when she was just 13 (or 14). It was so fun to watch, although I'd much rather be playing. Gavry had a great time while the game was going on, and shortly after play ended (Texas victorious), Gav broke down and fake cried all the way until we shoveled some food down him. I miss volleyball a ton, but I am excited to think that we just might raise some athletes of our own . . .

p.s. yes, I've cut ALL of my hair off . . . reminds me of some old college days haircuts - but better, I hope!
