Today it all becomes worth it!

My trophy came in the mail today. The NFL season has been over for a couple of months. I have trudged through feet and feet of snow each day en route to the mailbox, in hopes that it might arrive, but each day I had returned empty handed... until now. All the hours of studying, the sleepless nights, the sweat, the tears, the heartbreak after each loss, the sleeping on the couch after taking a loss out on Kim... today it becomes worth it.I am in a fantasy football league that has become pretty competitive. I have been a member of this league for 6 years now. The first year in the league I tried my best, but came in last. Today I look back on that team and no longer have to hang my head in shame, because... I am the champion.

Oh yeah... Kim got a trophy too. Her's may be a little more prestigious - BYU Idaho sent it to her in honor of her piloting a class for them.

Best friends...

One day they'll be making a rags-to-riches movie about your ability to crawl out of the depths of loss to the zenith of victory.

Even your short description of your triumph was inspiring. Congratulations.

HAHAH!

This is an awesome post.

Congratulations to both of you on your great and sweeping successes.

I'm glad your trophies can be displayed together in friendship born of a common bond.

How was the couch?
