November

November is about in the books already and everything has shifted to the Christmas season. I have been blessed with some great things happening the last couple of weeks. The best thing about my life is my job, the people I work with, and a great boss. I had the privilege to play some 5 on 5 pick up hoop on the Conseco Fieldhouse court a week back. It was amazing, creepy, and emotional at the same time. Amazing in the sense that I was a kid in a candy store being a die hard Pacer fan all my life, creepy because 18,000 seats where empty as we played and emotionally just knowing all the history and great players that have taken to that floor. I manage to sack up and knock down a few three pointers from NBA range. In another awesome experience, I was on the field for the 4a and 5a state championship football games at Lucas Oil Stadium. My grandfather use to take me their as a kid and I would always be jealous of the spectators on the field, and now, I was one of them. What a good time with a good friend of mine Heath who got me the field pass. Had some buddies come down for a couple differen weekends, and that makes me miss home a little less. Dave Aaron and I went to an indoor go karting place. This was legit, 2 story track going 40 mph, it was our own mini Indy 500 until I hit the wall so hard that I knocked my helmet off and messed up my back pretty good, dont worry, I kept the pedal to the medal and didnt worry about my back, dont tell my mother. Thanksgiving was great, as I hope it was for you, seeing some family and friends, doing some shopping was great. I miss home, but cant see leaving Indy anytime soon. It was good to have a lot of my closest friends around as we midnight shopped and people watched. My goal is still in tact to attend every Pacer home game, might break that streak around Christmas but that is yet to be determined. Hope everyone has a good holiday season!
