I awoke to 4 boys, all over 6'4 sitting in my kitchen taking turns using their huge, fumbely, sausage fingers to delicately fish blackberries out of a glass bowl in the middle of the table. I have two boys from Spain and two from Chile (here for exhibition/Friendship basketball tournaments in Vegas). Blame my husband, if it were me, they'd all be in school. anyway....yesterday afternoon, I got to be the proxy Mom for one of the boys when the Coach from BYU Hawaii came to offer him a scholarship, and the position of point guard. So my Pablito, who graduated Juan Diego Catholic School with honors while he lived with us, will be the new point guard for BYU Hawaii. I am so happy for him. He's worked so hard and he's a good boy. I don't believe in sports over scholarship, but these boys give it their all. Not all of them turn out to be Jimmer, but they all eat and breathe basketball. It is gratifying when their hard work pays off and they will get a free education because someone's interested in how they play ball.

Thanks Bonnie, he's such a good kid. I hope he does a good job for them. It's so fun to see young people fulfill their potential and live their dreams. We are also thrilled that we will get to go back to Hawaii to visit him...just in time to celebrate not getting divorced since we got married (in Hawaii 20 years ago this November).
