I dream of basketball

Along with celebrating my birthday this weekend
{Post on that to come soon}
we also watched a lot of basketball.
March Madness is fun. It's even more fun since I'm married to a basketball fanatic and his basketball-loving family. The Blodgett family does a family bracket competition every year and we all put in a little mula for the winner- it's a blast and I never win, but that's ok.

That being said- we have been watching/talking/imagining a lot of games, players and of course- Jimmer. Jimmer is an extremely common name in this house. I have to remind Brett when we are talking about him too much- or when Jimmer is dominating all of our conversations.
That being said- we love the man, and we love the whole BYU team.
If you want to know more about it, call my husband and he will give you a 5 hour lecture/informative session on why you too should love Jimmer and BYU basketball.

Onto the reason for this post...
Since we talk/watch a lot of Jimmer- he has been on both Brett and my mind's a lot lately. So much in fact that I dreamt about Jimmer.
Before I go any further let me clarify- I have never dreamt of any other man except Brett since we've been married. I do not dream of other men- ever :)

Ok, now that is clarified this story gets weirder.
I had a dream that I was on the basketball court after a game waiting for Jimmer to come out. I was standing by his girlfriend, but when he came out, he started talking to me like I was his girlfriend and we were talking about his game.
I woke up in a panic and completely confused- why am I dreaming about being Jimmer's girlfriend??

I told Brett about my dream before he went to work that morning.
His response was not what you would expect from a man whose wife just told him she dreamt of being another man's girlfriend.

He looked at me and said
"AWESOME!!!"
This just shows how much he loves Jimmer- and it made me laugh so hard.
Another side note: I have no dreamed of Jimmer since :)

After that dream I thought my basketball dreaming days were over- far from it!
Saturday night I dreamt I was playing basketball against this guy:
Amare Stoudemire

I like him- mainly because I love saying his last name.
And one time I saw him in a press conference and he was dressed nerdy/preppy and I thought his little personal style was cute- that's how I pick my favorite athletes :)

So I was playing basketball against Stoudemire and some other players- and I was getting mad at them and telling them how they were cheating.
Then Brett woke me up.

I hope my basketball dreaming days are over- but since March Madness isn't over yet-
I bet I will dream of it some more!

Ok that's really funny. You know the dreams are also because of pregnancy. But I loved Brett's response. I am embarrassed to admit that this Sat was the first Jimmer game I had watched. Dave was so thrilled that I watched it with him. I kept yelling "Fred-ette about it!" And I was cracking myself up but I'm sure Dave thought I was annoying. It was a great game and now that I am "into" it they will prob loose and I"ll never get to watch again. Anyway, I hope your dreams of other men stop soon because that is awkward- it has happend to me. Now I need to go look up this Amare guy and his style.
