Special Olympics Virginia Basketball States!

Scott's Team (The Rebels) made it to States. Let me tell you. It was an AMAZING two days. Opening ceremonies... I can't even tell you how amazing it was. I couldn't stop crying because it was that beautiful. They're no words for it. You have had to have been there.

  

 

Scott's Team played the Geico Leapin' Lizards for the All-Star game and THEY BEAT THEM BY 4 POINTS!! The crowd roared whenever someone made a basket. I'm so glad I got to see the game. The halftime show was so cute. It was one of the cheerleading teams that are comprised of people who are disabled. 

On Saturday, Scott's team played at 9am and 3pm. They won both games to win the GOLD Medal!! 

It was a great way to end my spring break. I love watching my brother and his friends play. We had a lot of fun, met a new people and danced every chance we got.

One thing you should do in your lifetime is to go to Opening Ceremonies and watch some of the games. It is inspiring to see them play. Words can't even describe watching these players play.

Until next year basketball, until next year. 

Spring Break.

Spring Break was a great chance for me to spend time with my family. I even got to take Scott to his last basketball practice of the season. Every time I take him to basketball he gets in the car 10 minutes before were actually suppose to leave then when I'm walking to the car he reaches over and opens the door for me. Before I leave I always ask him are you ready to go & he says yep let's go.
We went through this routine when I was home for winter break & all last year. I miss driving Scott to basketball and seeing everyone there. We picked up Michael and then we were on our way. The same way passing the hospital every time.
That weekend they were preparing for the State games. In which that his team (the Rebels) took home 3rd place. I'm really proud of Scott.
I asked him if he was nervous & he said yeah i was nervous. There was one team who was taller than him. Naturally he backed off because he was taller.
After that day we went out for my parents 20th wedding anniversary. Congrats mom & dad.

I am doing a 5 page paper about Autism. It's very interesting to hear about the first person who was diagnosed with Autism. He was really smart. He could tell you how many bricks were in his high school just by looking at it. 

Basketball.

This morning I got up early to call my brother to wish him good luck on his basketball tournament. Well, he didn't answer his phone... (that's nothing usual though)
I finally got him & told him to play well, play defense, score some points & get his hands up on defense. Basically what I tell him all the time.
His first game was against his teammate on the ice, Michael. Both games Scott played in were really good.
After both games I got a text saying, "We won both games. We are undefeated."
I wish I was there cheering him on, but he knows I was screaming from here for him to score. I hope he heard me. (:

There's no hockey tomorrow. (yeah you read that right) So it's a lazy day for my brother. Who knows what he's gonna do? Maybe sleep in until 730... yeah that's not gonna happen. He's gotta watch Max & Ruby @ 6am. Which I did watch one morning because it was on when I woke up. It made me miss my brother.
