pocatello

Life in Pocatello seems to be going great. The first game was so close; nail biter doesn’t do it justice. With less than a minute we were down by one. Our littlest, youngest player dribbled the ball and went straight to the hoop and we were up by one. However, there was still plenty of time and all they needed was one basket. We did end up winning but holy mackerel. Could it have been closer?
When the game was over I told Reanna it was too close., I told her I wanted this morning’s game to be more like 20 to 2, or 40 to 4, I told her I don’t freak out as much when there is a bigger point spread. Reanna is a fabulous at doing things just the way she’s told. When her team had 16 points the other team got 1 point for a foul shot. It’s a funny rule in this league. Instead of shooting free throws when you’re fouled in the process of shooting, you get one point and the game goes on. When the other team got their second point, we had 18 points but Reanna knew that’s not what I wanted so she scored another bucket and came down the court gesturing that it was 20 to 2. She did a fabulous job keeping the score right where I wanted her to. The final score was 34 to 2. I was so excited because about 2 weeks ago she pulled a tendon in her knee and she hasn’t really been able to practice. She hustled and made shots and did a fabulous job. The girls are playing in a 4th grade tournament and half of our team is third graders so the fact that so far we are undefeated is pretty cool.
We drug Aunt Rosie with us and Squishy too and we only reserved one room so we’re back to 6 people, 1 room and 1 bathroom. We’re okay though. We’re doing well. We brought an air mattress and we blew it up right before bed. We let the air out first thing this morning so no one would know we’re
The bad part was I sent Randy to pick up the rental car and he decided to spend the extra $5 a day and get a fancy SUV. It’s a black Ford edge. Very nice ride but he missed the idea of good gas mileage. He told me never to send a man to pick up a rental car. He’ll always come home with the good looking one. The back windows in this car are very tinted and so when the girls took the window paint and painted the windows to say GO TIGERS! It really stands out and looks great.
We think there’s a spring fair down by the university so we’re going to head over there for awhile. Reanna’s next game is at 7pm and then another one at 9pm so it’ll be a late night. I’ll let you know how it ends up.
