We got to go to the Mavs game

It is a common misconception that I, Bethany Stutsman, dislike sports. Actually, I played soccer until 6th grade (whether or not I wore a ballet bun in my hair on account of coming to games straight from Nutcracker rehearsal is irrelevant).

The "Burn" at the 2004 Waxahachie tournament. I'm the second girl standing from the right. Yeah.

I dabbled in T-ball, but after realizing that T-ball makes one sweat behind their knees, how could I remain a lady and simultaneously continue sweating behind my knees? I had to quit.

I had a fairly extensive career playing basketball for the Shooting Stars in which I was honored to receive the title of MVP for the season (Ok, so it was one game, but I saw myself as MVP for every game).

My real athletic calling was to the sport of volleyball, in which I was one of the first of the Volley Chix to master my over hand serve. I went on to serve the Forest Meadow Junior High athletic department by playing on the "A" team in both 7th and 8th grade. I was proud to be a starter for the Chargers my 7th grade year, and may or may not have cried at my first game in 8th grade because I did not start, or play as much as I believed a player of my status should. So in 9th grade I cut all my personal ties from sports and stuck to dance. (It wasn't because of the not starting in volleyball in 8th grade...seriously)

All that is to say that I am not clueless or completely uninterested in the sports realm, as my mother would have you believe. And all of THAT is to say that I am a mavs fan. I love the Mavericks. They are the only professional sports team I have ever had much of an interest for. Last night, thanks to Mr. Travis Taunton, I got to go to the 5th game in the Dallas Mavs/Miami Heat series! It was their last game in Dallas before heading off to that dreadful Miami...and we WON!!!!!! Ihopewewintheseries.

I wore my blue mavericks pants.

Nothin but love,
Bethany
