One PROUD lady...

I made a last minute decision to go back to Portland this weekend... The soccer team I used to coach, at Philomath High School, made it to the state championships after FIVE YEARS of making it to the quarter or semi-finals, only to come up short. Well, THIS year, they were undefeated the whole season and on Saturday night they took home the state title! The current seniors were just little freshmen when I first started coaching, and I was in awe of how much they've grown! They played awesome and I am SO PROUD of my girls... Even though taking Saturday off to drive down to see the game meant my Sunday really sucked (worked the entire day), it was worth it to be there to support them and give them big hugs after the game! Congrats to all of my lady Warriors :)

Things I am grateful for...

Well, I was going to start this blog by speaking of the things I currently miss due to the time constraints my new job. However, in my attempts to be an eternal optimist, I decided it would be better to first start with the things I am grateful for, and then speak of the things I miss.

Things I am GRATEFUL for: my marriage, Jack, our family, friends, my (exhausting) job, and my health.

Things I have been missing A LOT the past month or so: exercising, sleep, spending QT with Jack, spending QT with the husband, being able to relax at night, cleaning (weird, I know), the flexibility to do what I want, whenever I want, and the peace that comes without having teenagers who are the "good" students in school bitch about... well, anything really.

All in all, things are OK. I am just tired, and miss spending time with my husband and dog. I also miss my friends. Hope to see you all soon :)

Busy weeks, and even busier weekends!

So we just finished weekend #4 of a 5 week stretch of busy plans... One of my oldest friends Merissa, her boyfriend Brandon, and their dog Oscar came to visit. The weather was bad,and the Seahawks were even worse... However, the company was great, the monumental amounts of food we ate was good, and we even had a break of sun on Sunday just long enough for a walk with the dogs....
