Busy...

Busy few days. I left for UConn on Tuesday and had an 1.5hr delay out of Denver. An hour of which was spent on the plane. Then I arrived in Chicago to have three gate changes and a 2 hr delay, another hour of which was spent on the plane. After arriving to CT late, I quickly went to the hotel then to coaches house for dinner. There were probably a hundred people at his house. Current players and the 2000 team, plus any staff that helps the teams.

After a late night there, I went back to the hotel and slept until noon! Which really is only 10am Denver time. I did a short workout changed and left for pregame dinner at the game site. Followed by the game. The game was pretty good. UConn won by 15 or so, the first half was close but not close at all in the second. At half time we had a ceremony where they had us take pictures at half court and then introduced us individually and gave us a plaque that had a team picture and an image of the national championship trophy.

After the game we went out for a bit then back to the hotel at the airport for an early flight. I had about 4 hours of sleep then I got up and traveled pretty uneventfully back to Denver.

We then had a Christmas eve party at Kurt and Denas. The gifting was the white elephant but some of us ended up with our own gifts because we liked what we brought!

After a tiring few days, I think I am sick...again, I slept till late today and Pedro is off at work. Since most people are doing their own things for Christmas Day, so my mom, dad and I went to see It's Complicated. It was very busy at the theater and the movie was pretty good.

Then my mom and I went to visit Mary at her place...now I am home and planning dinner for the evening.

Here are a few pictures from the past few days. This first one is of our first gingerbread house. Pedro was all excited to build it...then he realized it required patience, something he does not have. After he put the walls up he quit. This is where I began the decorating. He even accused me of having done this before!
