First Week of Freshman Year...

was a busy one to say the least!! He has to be at football pretty much every morning by 7:00, so that he has time to get ready before having to be out on the field by 7:30. This is great because it means I am actually to work on time! I can't promise as much when football is over, lol!

Monday, he said he wasn't nervous, but I think he was. I was a little nervous to begin my new year as well, but we both had a great day. I will admit that I was sad if I let myself think about the fact that that group wasn't around. I started my teaching the year they were beginning sixth grade. So, for the last three years, those kids were the faces I saw everyday. It was an adjustment for me to say the least, but I do really enjoy my new bunch of 8th graders.

Every night we've been getting home between 6-7:00-ish. He's had a little bit of homework and then Thursday night was his first game. They won 28-20. Afterwards, we had the community pep rally, which was a lot of fun for the kids and the parents seemed to really enjoy it as well.

Friday night the Varsity had a game in Rio Vista, so he was one of the "water boys" and I went along for moral support. It was a long drive but well worth it. It was a great game with the exceptions of some very bad calls against Rice. But, the Varsity guys are a great group and fought hard! I have the fullest confidence that we will have a great season.

Today, I got to sleep in until 8am. It was amazing!! I went to Farmers Market with my mom and then ran some more errands -- came home around 12 and Ty was actually up! That was amazing as well!! I think we both also took a nap today as well -- it was a long week!

I have a feeling the next four years will not slow down much. But, I look forward to it!!!
