There's going to be a new lady in my life....

Friday Violet and I went to our doctor apt, to find out what our little bun in the oven is going to be, and I have to be honest, both Violet and I wanted to have a little girl, but if we a little boy was on his way, we would be just as excited! We waited patiently to hear the doctor say those words, and finally she spoke up..."you are having.....a....little....GIRL! Violet and looked at each other and we both had tears in our eyes. I laughed thinking, if I'm crying now, I'm going to be balling when our little Riley Sophia is finally in my arms.

Volunteers Rock My World!

Last night we had our Volunteer Appreciation dinner to show our volunteers just how awesome they are and how much they mean to us here at Palm Valley Church. Over 500 volunteers showed up and that doesn't include children! We provided a nice dinner for everyone and then for the entertainment, our staff put together some hilarious acts that brought many to tears laughing so hard!

As I looked around the room, my eyes where filled with tears, and my heart was overjoyed by these people that give so much of their time to serve here at PVC. But as I thought about it, I kept coming back to the thought that these people have caught it, they understand what it means to give of their time, talents, and their treasure. To all our volunteers, THANK YOU for all you do!

The New Guy In Town!

It has been a few weeks now, and to say that I was unhappy about the Suns trade would be a lie. I was happy about it. I can't thank Shawn Marion enough for his commitment to this Suns organization and to the fans, but it was pretty obvious that Shawn was more likely to move on and opt out of his contract at then end of this season anyways, so to actually get something for him was a bonus in my mind. I really am happy for Marcus Banks too cause he can actually play some minutes for a team that desperately needs a point guard and I really think he will fit in great with Riley's system in Miami.

Now for Shaq, well the jury is still out on if this was a great deal or not, but I really think it's going to help us in the end. I'm not sure if it's the DIE HARD suns fan that I am or not(most likely is) but I still think that we are better than Dallas, San Antonio, New Orleans, and people are calling me crazy, but I still think we will beat L.A. And that mostly stems from hating....actually hate is a strong work, so how about "LOTHE ENTIRELY", the L.A. Lakers. Not sure if there is a team, actually I am sure of it, there is no other team that I dislike more.

But I will stand by my words that it the Suns meet L.A. in the playoffs, we will have their number the same way we have the last couple of years.

Bottom line, I'm excited to see the Suns in the Finals against Boston, and we will have a rematch of the first time the Suns went to the Finals, but this time, it will be ours!
