Packing for our adventure...

By Shawn...

So, tonight we are packing up for our week-long trip to Indiana to visit my sister Camille and her wonderful little family. Also, we are driving from where they live (near Louisville, KY) to Chicago to see a Duke Blue Devils basketball game. If any of you didn't know, I'm a huge fan. This will be the second time in my life I will see them play. The first was in 2006 when we went to a home game at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, NC. That was a once in a lifetime experience. Cameron Indoor is like the Mecca of college sporting venues, comparable to Fenway Park in the MLB. Anywho... I'm rambling.

Of course we will make a sweet post and tell of our tales of the eastern land complete with photos and all. Laura has been so good with this all and doesn't seem to be too bothered with my obsesion with Blue Devil basketball. In fact, for Christmas she supported it by providing a Cameron Crazies T-Shirt and a dvd with classic games of Duke beating UNC. Pure gold. Furthermore, this past week she found Coach K's e-mail address and told him that we would be attending the game in Chicago and that her husband (me) would really like to meet him. Isn't she so great. Well, nevertheless, she got an e-mail back from one of his assistants informing her that due to time Coach wouldn't be able to make such a visit, oh well it was worth a try.

The real reason I made this post was to publish a funny quote Laura just uttered as we were packing, stuffing clothes and belongings into small suitcase. (ya'll know the drill) She said, "I hate packing my clothes so tight in my suitcase, I feel like they can't breathe... I feel like they like me less."  Ha ha, isn't that so funny!?! Yeah I get to enjoy quotes like that everyday. I love it, I love her.

In cas you are interested the game will be televized on ESPN on Wednesday at 7 pm MST time.
