Football time again!!

Well, it's official. Football season is here. My oldest son Joshua is playing on the eight grade team this year. They have been practicing in all this 110 degree heat. It has been really intense. But he made it through. We wasn't sure if he was going to have a starting position. But, we just keep encourging him to do his best, and that's all you can do. So, on the night of the game, we finally saw that he did get a starting position as the center. We were all very proud. And to top it off, they made him as one of the captains. That was the best part for me...to see my son walk out on the field with 3 other guys as one of the captains. My husband Jim told me that meant that the coaches saw him as a leader. Okay, so that did it for me. That made my night and my week. It is so cool when what you're hoping for really happens, and them something great happens that you didn't expect.
