Winter Wonderland

whew.  what a day.  seriously, it was wonderful.  fk brings so much to my life.  i love her dearly.  as we talked about our future plans over indian food, i couldnt help but think how different we are.  and not just in the intensity of spice our taste buds can handle (she ordered native hot, which is above and beyond american hot, making my choice of medium seem a little lame), but in really big ways, too. and yet... when we talk there is so much comfort, so much understanding.  its like, 

"wow, you get it. your dreams are bigger than the sky, and you dont know if you are going to make it either, but you wont be satisfied until you try as hard as you can. im glad we can do this whole sky's the limit, follow our dreams thing together."

 so good. so what I needed. 

then we went to see belmont play.  wow, i really think it was the best, most intense game i have ever watched.  when a three point shot was made with 38 seconds left on the clock putting us just one point ahead, it felt like my insides were on the verge of exploding.  then a player was fouled and allowed to make two free throws.  he calmly walked to the line, and made the shots cleanly and with an ease i cant even imagine.  just like, im sure, he does every day in practice.  practice really does prepare you for the future.  I really hope what i am doing now is preparing me for life so i can be calm and come through when i am desperately needed. 

and then, it snowed. and life was good.
