Some of you may know and some of you may not -- Todd's sister, Robyn (above right), is an amazingly talented, beautiful, humble, fortunate girl..... who is darn good at basketball. You wouldn't know it from talking with her, as she's the last one to know how many points she's scored or rebounds taken on any particular night. But she's good. Believe me. And if you don't believe me, just go google her name. Then you'll see.

Some proclaim her as one of the top WNBA picks this coming draft. She's led the nation in scoring for NCAA women's basketball for much of the 08/09 season, and she's received many accolades, including All-America honorable mention twice and 32 career double-doubles. She has been, no doubt, instrumental in pushing Utah Valley University from an independent athletic standing into the Great West Conference. Check out her bio here, if you'd like.

Well, her basketball career is said to be over. She played her final university game last night, where UVU took the Independent Championship. She says the WNBA is not for her - but maybe some other offer will tempt her. We shall see. In any case, we are so very proud of Robyn. She is an amazing sister and aunt!! We love so many things about her - her excitement for life, love of movies, grand sense of humor, constant happy demeanor, kind heart, and humble spirit.

Congrats, Robyn, on an amazing four years! We can't wait for your visit in just a couple of short weeks! We love you!!
