Basketball & Sleeping Outside

Yesterday, we had our first real snowfall down here, and I was actually excited to see the pretty snow.  It's too bad that there are no mountain or hills to go sledding on, I do miss that from AK.  Oh well, the snow doesn't last very long, and besides the snow here makes for horrible traffic, it took Tim almost three hours to get to work; I'm thankful that my job is less than 10 minutes away.  Something else that's positive about my job and that I'm very thankful for is the raffle tickets for sports events.  This week they raffled 2 tickets for the Chicago Bulls game, and I won :) So after a long day of work for both us, we were able to enjoy a great night in downtown Chicago.  First, we stopped at Cemitas Puebla, a famous little Mexican restaurant with yummy sandwiches.

 

Then we spent the rest of our date night at the game, which we won 103 to 87 :) I must say that watching the games live is so much fun, and wayyy better than watching them on TV; I'm starting to become a basketball fan.

Because we won and scored more than a 100 points, everyone won a free BIG MAC, and of course Tim used his ticket right after the game :)  

Later that night we came back home, and I quickly fell asleep.  Then when I woke up husbandless at 4:00 AM, I looked outside and sure enough there he was, sleeping outside :) Our neighbors probably thought that I had kicked him out, haha.  But just to clarify, I didn't kick him out, he was testing his new sleeping bag for Denali.  

I, on the other hand, prefer to use his sleeping bag as a blanket.  It's so big and fluffy, and of course super warm! It also reminds me of those inflatables at Bouncing Bears ;) Tim will be testing his bag again this week since we're supposed to have an ice storm.  

Have a great Saturday everyone! I'll leave you with a song I'm learning for tomorrow's worship service.   Can you guess what hymn this is? you might recognize the lyrics, it just sounds a little different.  

Isaiah 28:16

So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation: the one who trusts will never be dismayed.
