Final Four Bound!

 I snuck out of the house on Wednesday night to decorate the Kia.  Thomas was really surprised and said, "I love it!"

 There was a pep rally at the school on Thursday afternoon.  Coach Miller speaks to the students.

 The players come out of the locker room.

 Hayden, a senior, and team captain, addresses the crowd.

 Heading out of town on the team bus.

 The team arrives at the hotel in Independence.

Thomas had asked if there was annnyyyyy way Darian could come with us and stay in our hotel room.  At first, it wasn;t going to work out, because we had no room..  Then Amy decided to get her own room, so that opened up more space in our room.  Darian and I texted on Thursday afternoon and planned a big surprise.  When he walked into the hotel room, there she was!  "WHAT the?!!!?" was his response.  We got him good!   He was so surprised.
