We're Going to the 'Ship

I am listening to Big Papa (Notorious B.I.G.) as I write this post today...love that song! Also I'm working on the bible for the rugby trip this weekend. Don't know what a rugby bible is? Its something I had to learn about when I moved to Austin too! Basically its a book that the match secretary makes before matches or tournaments that entail travel.

The good book would include things like every one's flight info, phone numbers, location of the hotel and pitch and more. Sometimes they are serious and sometimes they are funny...just matters how creative everyone is feeling.

So the book is almost done, just waiting on the social or party information...we are only in Denver from Fri night until Sat night, so its a quick trip. The last quick trip we barely made it on the airplane because we were having adult beverages in the bathroom...and getting lost on the way to the airport! (With DD's of course!)

So anyways, we have a league match this weekend against the Olde Girls of Glendale (CO). We are playing in their BIG new fancy stadium, the first REAL rugby stadium in the United States. Check out their website for pictures, info and more.

We had to take roster pictures and send in an information sheet for submission to the jumbo tron! The girls were funny because the info sheet asked for their weight, I'm sure we had a few fibbers! So this will be a pretty sweet event, the game should be tough and hard...but joyous because we are playing in a rugby stadium! Another event I can check off in my Rugby Do's and Don'ts list.

So we will be taking 18 people to Glendale...the struggle with numbers continues. We have several players that have taken on new endeavors in their lives (houses, babies, new jobs...) and this has hurt and helped our team. Of course we want our players to be with us at all times, but life, love and careers do come first!

Sorry this is pretty much a vomit post, I haven't put words to paper or on the blog for a few weeks, so I wanted to get some of my thoughts out there. More later...
