Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

This past week was not a good one for me, but Steve was spared! I was sick all last week with Bronchitis, a sinus infection and a fever.  Thankfully, I am feeling much better but not 100% back to normal yet.  My body is still kind of achy and I am tired, but I'm sure I'll be back to normal soon!  However, I still have some pictures to share from the weekend.

On Saturday Steve participated in a fundraiser called The Polar Plunge which raises money for the Special Olympics.  He had to raise $75+ dollars to participate and since he met that he had the "privilege" of running into a freezing cold lake!!!  It is one of Special Olympics largest fundraiser, raising $45,000+ dollars in Northwest, MO this year!

After the Polar Plunge Steve and I went to the Missouri Western vs. Northwest basketball game. Northwest is Western's biggest rival!  Steve and I had this vision of starting a new tradition at Western.  We were inspired by a YouTube video we saw of a John Brown University basketball game.  At John Brown, when the first shot is scored at the first home game of the season the entire home crowd throws toilet paper onto the court. We did something similar at this game.  When the first shot was scored everyone in the crowd threw black and gold streamers straight up in the air.  We told people not to throw it on the court to prevent getting a technical foul, but of course there was one person who had to be a rebel...so we got a technical.  Everyone loved it though...not the foul, the streamers!
