So here's a little trivia: They were the first team to lose a regular season basketball game to Samford in the Pete Hanna Center. Who is the University of Alabama, Alex?!
True enough, the Samford women's team christened the new arena with a 48-46 win over the Crimson Tide last week, starting a week of excellent public address announcing that also led to victories over Princeton and East Tennessee State.
Matthew was on hand for the big game, and periodically ran down a few rows to give score updates to one of his teachers, Miss Melanie. (She also happens to be the coach's wife, but was nonetheless excited to get the news from Matthew that "Samford is winning!") Matthew also got to enjoy basketball last week with his Mom, Papaw, Uncle Scott and Shannon. He summoned up the courage to give a "high five" to Spike the Bulldog mascot, and used his considerable cuteness to score free popcorn from Mr. David, the concessions manager.
Sunday night, Mom and Dad raced up to Guntersville to pick up MVP, who had spent an entire 36 hours away from home. We missed him badly, but Matthew was not homesick in the least, since he'd been with his Aunt Jo-Jo and Uncle Bradley, and had spent the day at a horse show!
On the way home, the conversation somehow turned to Santa Claus and potential gifts. Mom mentioned that she would get online and find out when Santa would be visiting our area, so Matthew could tell 'ol St. Nick (not the football coach) what he wants. Matthew replied with the advice: "You should try going to Christmas dot com."
Well, Thanksgiving week is here - and I understand there is a football game coming up soon - so to sum up the holiday, Samford, beating Alabama, and horses: War Turkey Dogs, Hay!
Love y'all, and see you soon!
