Totally Not Bragging... But Look At How Sporty I Am!

Chelsea Vs. Manchester City
May 2013
EH was in town and is a huge Chelsea fan, so when we found out this Expo
game was happening, we hunted down tickets on CraigsList and met a guy name Omar
at the McDonald's outside Yankees Stadium to make the deal. It was FREEEZING
outside, and we lost, but it was my first soccer game and so great to be with EH.

Brooklyn Nets
March 2013
I went to the newly opened Barclay's Center to watch the newly Brooklyn Nets with my roommates and some of their friends. Our seats were the epitome of nosebleeds, but the beer was great and so was the music. So much Beyonce!
New York Mets
May 2013
I won free tickets at work and got to bring two friends, wear free Tshirts,  and
go out on the field during the National Anthem! The only thing better than Tuesday
night baseball is FREE Tuesday night baseball!
New York Giants
December 2012
Although the day of this game started out with a pretty brutal hangover and I wasn't sure I'd be able to pull it together for the game, KS sweetly let me rest my head on her lap on the train to the stadium, and by the time I got there, I was ready for some football. Out tickets were FREE courtesy of Prince Amukamara, one of KS's friends from college. This was my first professional football game, but hopefully not my last.




Nebraska Cornhuskers VS. Penn State
October 2012
This was the first game after the controversial firing of Joe Paterno. KS got us free player's tickets from some friends on the team, and we drove to the State College, PA the night before the game and stayed in the college dorms thanks to a sorority connection. The roadtrip itself was one that I'll never forget, and even though Penn State was our competitor, KS and I both fell in love with their campus. It was a strange time to be in State College, but a beautiful day for watching college football.  

New York Yankees
August 2011
This was my very first professional sporting event, and EH bought us tickets for my birthday. Even though we are both from SD and have been preconditioned by our midwestern ancestors to HATE the Yankees, the stadium was cool, and they blasted Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" on repeat as we left the game. We both decided that even though we're not authentic fans of the Yankees, we are big fans of the city that claims the team.

Let July be July

By Morgan Harper Nichols Even here, you are growing. When August is approaching and you feel a little restless thinking about how this month might end and how this year might end and how you are supposed to start again, you are growing, you are growing, in grace courage strength. And it is okay if it does not feel like it. It is okay if there are moments where you cannot see the way you have grown, because far beneath the surface the seeds have still been sown. The ground beneath your feet is still a bed for new beginnings. So much is changing around you but you are changing, too. You are so much more than the brokenness that you were certain would define you. It has not been easy for you. You have worked so hard to be the positive one. You have given your best in areas of your life where the effort was not returned. And this has made it so hard for you to keep going, and there have been days where you were not sure if it was even possible. But after everything, here you are, just a li...
