A Mavs Kind of Evening!

Last night was a very fun evening! A good friend that I met while living in Panama has recently moved back to Dallas. When R found out her husband, M, was going to be deployed to Afghanistan a few months ago she decided to make the move back to the Big D to be near her sisters (her parents are still working as missionaries overseas) as she is having a baby in May! However, M was given some vacation before he leaves next week and flew in to visit for a few days. When I was talking to R last week I asked what they had planned and she mentioned M REALLY wanted to go to a Mavs game before he left.

I immediately knew I wanted to take them if tickets were available. I am SO thankful to work for such an AMAZING and patriotic company. Tickets did indeed become available so last night we were treated to one of the hottest tickets in the NBA (the Mavs are on a eight game winning streak!). We enjoyed a FABULOUS view, dinner and great time together. It was such a treat to be able to spend time with R and M and I cannot imagine having gone to a game with better people!

M leaves for Afghanistan next week and will be gone for at least six months. He will then be able to come back on a two week leave to meet his son before returning to complete his 12 to 18 month deployment. It was a true honor to attend this fun event with one of our nation's strongest and bravest. I wish you all the best M and rest assured I will be looking after R!
