E.M.A.W.

If you are a Purple People you know what this means










Every Man A Wildcat

********************************************


Back in September I found out that KSU Men's basketball was coming to Wichita to play West Virginia.
I knew I had to get tickets for this game and give early gifts to the boys.

Not only was it going to just be in Wichita(1 hour from our house) they were playing Coach Huggins
the mentor for our current coach, Frank Martin.  Coach Martin was the assistant to Huggins several years ago.  Then all the hoopla came with Big 12 comings and goings...now West Virginia is joining us in our conference next year.


This is as we are walking to the Arena.  We only had to park a few blocks away.  I was glad, because I couldn't take my camera into the game and had to walk back to the van to drop it off.  I was not happy.  There are no pictures like I had hoped.  I will say that when I got back to the entrance and had to be searched again...I intentionally got into the line I was in to begin with and got the same guy who told me I couldn't take my camera in and apologized.  I chose to NOT be happy and regretted it.  So, I chose to get happy and apologize.  It wasn't his fault.  *note to self, cannot take cameras with removable lenses to Intrust Bank Arena*



Despite the loss of the double overtime game{sad face}
We had the best time.  My boys were sooooo excited and had a blast.
We all had a blast! 

When we got home from school, I made them sit in the car for a bit~I literally had not had time to wrap the new t-shirts and tickets during the week, so I laid them out on the table.  They came in and saw them and were so excited.  It was priceless.  I miss my boys being babies, toddlers, etc, but it was so much fun to go and cheer on the CATS with them and watch them get into the game.  Loved it. {smile}

i love that you said you chose not to be nice and then apologized. some people don't realize that they have a choice! and that it does a body good to say they are sorry! :)

God bless~

We watched the game on the TV. It will be an interesting game, but I really wish we would have won that game.

Aww, what a sweet Mama you are! Love that you were sensitive to the Spirit, and apologized. ;) Praise God we get second chances, huh?

What a fun time! I know what you mean about having to apologize. I did the same thing in Houston going into a concert for the Celtic Woman. I had to go all the way back to the car and leave my camera. I was not too happy either...grrr...glad you did what you did. Great example to us all! Thanks!
