That’s right, Steph and her friend Cassie showed up to surprise us, and it was a surprise indeed! And the day has been filled with laughing and hanging out, although not much by me. I worked all day out of town, and tonight I said my goodbyes. Tomorrow morning I will head to Kentucky and will not get to see her till we head out to see a game of hers in April. My job is often like that, and my luck (if I believed in luck) is always like that. But I did get to see her and Cassie and it was fun while I could…..everyone else is having a marvelous time.

AND…….tonight my beloved BUTLER BULLDOGS knocked off another top seed to reach the Sweet 16. (That’s right I graduated from Butler in 84, for those of you who thought I just bought my degree) But in all the busyness, I was only able to watch the last 7 minutes of the game…..the best part. I was quite thankful for that.

But for now it is off to bed. I would post a big Bulldog picture, but I like this one of Ben and Steph tonight instead. It has been a long and busy day, but parts of it have been so very meaningful. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to be here today!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
