Home Sweet Home

We made it back to town in one piece this afternoon. Bodie was great on the car ride home. I think he's pretty fond of Blue's Clues (gets him into a nice trance anyway). He managed to nod off for one hour, until Curt had to stop at a rest area. Bodie is notorious for waking as soon as the car stops moving so that ended his little nap. He was very happy to go pick up Deuce and Tahj from my parents after we got the car unloaded. He kept giving Tahj hugs, which was very sweet since Tahj isn't always the best to Bodie. When we got close to dinner time it became obvious that Bodie was very tired and worn down from all his weekend adventures. After dinner was a very quick (guessing less than 5 minute) bath and he was in bed by 6pm. Putting Bodie to bed this early used to come back and bite us in his younger days (when he'd usually wake up after an hour). It's been over an hour and a half now though and he is still asleep, so hopefully we will be good for the night.

On another note, the Chadron State game yesterday was AMAZING!! Chadron won 76-73 in TRIPLE OVERTIME! We were down by 16 points with 5 minutes left so, thinking it was over, Bodie and I went to the car. I thought I'd change his diaper and get him settled in the car seat (praying for him to maybe take a little snooze before we went to dinner with friends). I kept waiting to see the crowd walking by, signaling the end of the game. When nothing was happening I found the game on the radio and low and behold Chadron had just tied it up at the end of regulation. I got Bodie bundled up again and we headed back to the stadium, making it just in time for the start of overtime. Finally we pulled it out in the 3rd OT, after Abilene Christian settled for a field goal on their possession. Bad move on their part as we'd scored on them for at least our previous 4 possessions. Next week is a rematch of last year's quarterfinals game against NW Missouri State. They beat us by a touchdown last year, so hopefully we will come out ahead this time. Unfortunately I don't think we will be able to go as Curt and I are Godparents to our nephew Will, and his baptism is Sunday morning.
