Celebrity Sighting: THE Ref

Once upon a time... we went to EVERYTHING we could for all the cousins... when you have your own kiddos later than your siblings the littlest cousins show up... it's just what we did... and we loved it.... when it was in our own district even MORE fun (cuz local with littles is def. easier than our 7 hour trips in one day for a bball game) and the core memory of Do-Do's senior game is one of our FAVORITES

Fast forward to Husband coaching golf and he got to know the ref that Miss B had a special relationship with... Mr. Burnell... Mr. Burnell's son worked at the golf course... and last year Mr. Burnell was at the bball game that Miss B missed because she was sick... we were SO disappointed....I was REALLY hoping for a do-over picture....

Last night my dream came true! :) Husband had emailed him last week to let him know we were coming but unfortunately he said he wasn't going to be able to make it... bummer. 

As soon as Husband and I walked IN though... there he was on the bottom of the bleachers!!! HOORAY! 

Typically I would NEVER, EVER, EVER see or talk to my kids before a game. They are getting ready, mentally, physically, talking with their team, etc. BUT.... I saw some girls from her team in the hallway and I knew her coach was already in the bleachers, so I asked them to go and get Miss B....

and my DREAMS CAME TRUE!

Such a FUN and SPECIAL MOMENT FOR ME!!! I remember Do-Do's Sr game like it was yesterday, I remember her little voice coming back to the bleachers and telling me "he asked if I was going to be a CHEERLEADER MOM!" So fun to snag her in her BBALL uniform... with our fav ref! :)

The game did NOT end up like we wanted....

But the fact that my daily lunch date made her a poster.... was HER favorite part of the night....

FOR SURE!
