My first scrapbook pages up on my new blog are of my daughter twirling during halftime at a University of Tennessee basketball game. The game was right before Christmas last year. Do you know how how hard it is to do a Christmas page about twirling and basketball with lots of orange? It is a challenge!
The gym floor at Thompson-Boling Arena is named the "Summitt" after former head coach Pat Summitt. I'm so glad she has had the opportunity to perform on the "Summitt" from time to time. Last week, Coach Summitt was awarded the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the 2012 Espys for her fight with Alzheimer's. It is going to be so strange not seeing Coach Summitt on the sidelines when basketball season is here. Whether you are a fan or not of basketball and/or Tennessee, you have to appreciate this woman's courage and accomplishments. I have linked the video from the Espy awards. The ESPN video is narrated by Reese Witherspoon and is one of the best pieces I have ever seen. It isn't all about basketball. There are some sweet things about her son Tyler in the video. My daughter and him are the same age. In fact, Tyler was born on Megan's due date in September 1990. Thanks for looking!
