I drove to the high school where I coach three days ago and thought to myself.."oh my gosh..it's here. again." The new soccer season. Fall 2011. For those of you NOT ruled by the school calendar, I am sure your annual "moments" are different. But, in late August I drive to the school, every fall, where I meet 18-20 teenage girls who want to play soccer. But here is what happens. They run, they cry, they puke, they push themselves, they look at me and I look back and them...and another season begins. :)
It's hard to explain, unless you do it. But it's a cool feeling to be the only ones out there working your butts off for one reason. No phones, computers, parents, boyfriends or external factors...just us and a ball and a common goal.
The next few months are insane. My schedule gets annihilated, but when one of the girls looks at me and says, "I'm ready coach,". Well, wouldn't you know - so am I kiddo :)

jeans that fit just right...
ever try on a hundred pair of jeans just to find the perfect fit? ok, well i have never tried on 100 pairs of jeans..I am just not that good of a shopper. I get bored and fast. However, i do love a great pair of jeans! Finding the right fit isn't always easy. I compare that to my latest blogging endeavor. My photography blog is not anything I like. It doesn't fit right, I look at it from all angles and I don't like how it feels. Therefore, a new idea has come about and all of a sudden, it fits, the length was good, the feel is pleasant and I liked how it looks. Perfect. It's amazing what ideas come and go when you are driving to destination by yourself!
So... tossing the non-fitting pair of jeans aside and pulling on some new ones. Fresh. Fit. Comfy. yay!
And thanks..in advance...to all those who are helping :) It's gonna be fun.
Btw. random. I am halfway through The Help, and that book deserves every rave review it's getting so far. I really like it. Lots.
I also watched the movie Soul Surfer last week with my cousins. I super duper liked it. I was in for a cheesy, inspiration, predictable plot, but it gave more than that. It's family friendly. My kids loved it and we had a lot to talk about after.
Ok, blogness is done! Time to start focusing on birthday celebrations!! haha! just kidding. well, not really ;)

blog slacker
Slacking a little here. BUT for good reason :) Weddings, family and of course the latest addition to our family..abby. Kinda feels like we have a newborn again. wait. we do. Not sure how I felt standing outside in the drizzle this morning at 4a.m to watch her pee...but it comes with this super cute face....
Still miss my dog that we had for 11 years so it's a bitter sweet transition. And yes, Andrew named her after Abby Wombach...can't say I blame him for liking her so much. We went through the whole U.S women's soccer team - and Abby finally won out. Friends of ours have Mia and Hope..so it's a destined play date!
