It's football time & a brag

Let me paint you a picture! It was 105* in Dallas on Friday night. My brother played in a 3 hour scrimmage against three other teams. They had breaks and we got there at 6pm. He did good and is a freshman in high school! It was hot!!! I went through four water bottles. The sun was beating down on me most of the time. I did see a beautiful sunset though! The smell of sweat was in the air. Great conversation happened in the stands. It was hot! Did I already mention that?

All four teams looked great! One player, from another team, was taken off the field on a stretcher and in a C-collar! I am sending good thoughts and prayers to that family! They worked on him for a while on the field and in the ambulance. Something, the fear, I hope I never go through!

Brag on my brother-he is a freshman and one of the newest Varsity AND STARTING Offensive Line player as of 10pm on Friday night! He is 6 foot, 1.5 inches, and is all muscle! He is a stud and I am very proud of him! I don't have a recent pict of him as he despises picture taking. I'll work on that. I am sure you will be getting more info and stats as I know them.

Did I mention...
I love football?!?!

Have a fabulous weekend!!!

That lightbulb that goes off

If you don't know...I tutor kiddos/college students on a weekly basis. Sometimes I ask myself why I tutor and usually answer my own question. Well tonight, I saw that light bulb go off in TWO students today and I could not be prouder. The first light bulb went off in a student who I have been working with for two years and it was amazing. The second was unexpected and taught me a valuable lesson. Take what you can get. Seriously. I never knew that someone would be so grateful and appreciative for my help. Now I know I am on the right career track and deserve to become a teacher. I love watching the light bulbs go off and seeing that "ah-ha" moment every time.

Senior Sister

My sister's senior year has approached and is now here! C is a senior and oh my goodness. What a riot. C had her last home game last night and the band was great. Here are a few pictures from last night. The seniors for the night stuff were recognized and I got pictures. Here they are:

"Am I a senior or what?"-C


My sister is such an awesome person and I am so proud. Her college applications are in and now the wait is on to where she starts the new chapter in her life. What a girl she is. We may not get along all the time, but she is my baby sister and I love her.


Hope you all had a great first day of November and are having more fall like weather than Texas. I can not believe that TX is still feeling like Spring. I am so ready for winter.

Have a great weekend!!!!
