Someone asked me today how it was going now that football has started. As I replied I realized this is my 10th season as a coaches wife. 10 Years!!! It's hard to believe it's been that long. This is a role I never would have imagined being in until I met Eric, and if you knew me "pre-Eric" you probably never imagined me in it either. I can admit it, I am a bit athletically challenged. Sure I played volleyball in Jr. High, but that was more in hopes that I would break my nose and be forced to have cosmetic surgery!

Despite my history, I love this football life. I love the game, the experience, the team atmosphere, and feeding the Offensive line. I also love the journey it's been; stretching, growing, teach us perseverance each year, and that's just in our home life! :-) The emotion of the game is so exciting as well. I almost had tears the other day at practice. I embarrass myself but that's ok, I'm excited for these young men, for what they are learning, what they are striving to do, and hopefully be as well.

This year will be interesting. Transitions always are. I'll want it to be easy, but things worth having and doing never are. If you keep checking back here, I'll keep you posted on how this 10th season unfolds!
