Reconnecting

This week we got internet in our house and became reconnected with the 21st century. I have been having mixed feelings about this. We haven't had internet since we left Rexburg, which was about mid-July. At times it was frustrating and inconvenient, but  I also found myself enjoying the simplicity and kind of quiet that resulted from a lack of technology in our lives. I read a few books, took some naps, and enjoyed my couch without a laptop, iPad or phone. However, just because we took a small break from having wi-fi access 24/7 did not mean that the rest of the world did, so that made life a little bit complicated when e-mails needed to be sent, talks needed to be prepared, or dinner needed to be made (why have I become so dependent on Pinterest?). Anyway, all of that to say that 2 months without internet (during possibly the most life changing time in our marriage so far) means I have a lot of catching up to do on this little blog of mine. So here we go.

Ty played his last basketball season at BYUI this spring. It was so weird and I was sad about it. We have spent so much time in that gym and it was hard to wrap my mind around the fact that he would never play there again. Some of my favorite memories of him are from his basketball days. We started hanging out at the end of his first season, and once we started dating I tried to at least stop by as many practices as I could and made sure I went to every game. It was so fun for me to watch him do something he really loves, and of course when he would look over and wink at me in the middle of a game I would just die. His winks get me every time. So thanks BYUI, for great memories and so many fun seasons for both of us!

this last picture is blurry but I love it because Ty almost always spent the timeouts talking and trying to help his teammates out. I hope he gets to coach in the future, he would be so great at it! 

This season Ty was also selected to play in the all-star game! Each team picks 2 of their players to participate in it and it's just for fun at the end of the season. Such a fitting way to end his time playing at school. Ty was always a leader on his teams. The coaches respected him and valued his opinions, and his teammates always liked him and asked him for help and advice. A couple of times he had some freshmen on his team ask him to help them and practice with them on the side. It was so sweet!

Thanks for letting me be a part of your seasons Ty, you'll never know how much I loved being able to cheer you on!

Love, 

your biggest fan
