Last week our school had three spirit days before the girls and boys basketball tournament.

Wednesday was Hat Day! One of our friends gave David a fake beard and he turned it into hair:

I wore a hat in support of my alma mater:

Both the elementary and secondary students loved hat day! I was so happy to see so many participate:

Thursday was Tacky Sweater Day. I didn’t take as many photos this day. I wish I had gotten one of David! One of our friends told me they couldn’t help but laugh when they saw him disciplining a student while wearing one of my cardigans.

We also had a pep assembly on Thursday. See the cute sign my cheerleaders made?

My friend coordinated a sock toss game:

Friday was a half day and School Colors Day. The kids played in the basketball tournament on Friday and Saturday. There was a great turnout of teachers, students, and families. The teams played really hard! The girls placed third and the boys placed sixth. We also had some All-Tournament players.

My cheerleaders had a BLAST! I loved seeing how much the crowd enjoyed their spirit.

It was a fun and busy weekend!

Cheering for Basketball

I have 11 elementary girls on my cheerleading squad this year. We started practicing in October and they cheered at their first basketball game last week. They were so excited to support the teams!

My mom brought some sparkly yellow ribbon when she visited for their hair:

The crowd was very sweet and supportive. Some of the high school kids learned a few of the chants and cheered right along with them:

Both the boys and the girls basketball teams won. The girls can’t wait to cheer at the next game!

Liberty University Alums in Ankara

I don’t think I heard much about Turkey before we announced we were moving. David and I have been amazed at the connections our friends and family have to Turkey. My dad has a coworker from Turkey, a former coworker of mine had a Turkish roommate, my best friend’s cousin has a friend in college whose family lives in Turkey… the list goes on and on!

A friend from our previous home in Lynchburg, Virginia let us know her friend and fellow Liberty University alumnus would be in Ankara for a basketball tournament. (David graduated from Liberty.) After school on Friday, we hopped in a taxi and took a short ride to Tobb Etu, a college in Ankara.

The campus was pretty. We had a couple of wrong turns trying to find the “spor salonu” (gym). Several college students who spoke English helped us out. We found our seats a few minutes before the game started.

Megan Frazee plays for the Samsun Basketbol team. The city of Samsun is about 250 miles northeast from where we live and is along the coast of the Black Sea. Samsun played Ted Ankara Kolejliler last night. The two teams were very competitive and the game was fast paced.

We cheered for Samsun. Megan was recovering from an injury and was not able to play. It was a close game, but Samsun lost.

Afterwards, another game of the tournament started and Megan sat with us in the stands. It was such an encouragement to meet her and hear about her story and experiences. God has been doing so many cool things in her life and sports career!

Megan has a great website and blog – please check it out! http://meganfrazee.weebly.com.

We hope the rest of the tournament goes well and will be praying for your quick recovery, Megan!
