Carey is a HUGE help.😀

I’m so proud of this girl and her teammates.

Shiloh went to Supercopa in Utah to compete against the best teams in the nation.

The team came up short of a championship, but they all fought their hearts out.

I used to lean on Shiloh hard in sports. I made her cry multiple times as her coach. I walked away from sidelines because I was frustrated. Chelsea would get mad at me because I was so negative while watching. It wasn’t great. She’s a good player on a good team. She’s developing well. But, she’s going to have good games and bad games. Good days and bad days, just like life. It took maturing on my part, but I’ve learned ultimately it’s not about her performance. Now we harp on the controllables — effort. And it makes me tear up because she gives it in spades. She’s undersized(familiar for a 5’8” ex-hooper), but she’s a down right dawg. She just gives it all she’s got and has fun doing it, and watching her do it is a gift God has given me.

Competitive youth sports can be cutthroat. Parents getting into it, players hoping for other players to fail… the whole thing. That’s not the case with this group. These girls, coaches, and families are FOR one another. It’s a blast to be apart of. It’s special.

We’re all learning life lessons along the way and I’m soaking in every second of living life with this little girl.

I have an amazing family. As a bonus, Jesus saw fit that I have a second family, too. This is them. I spent seemingly half my youth at their house. Thanksgiving dinner at Publix, reviewing vocab for tests, hundreds of nights slept over, getting life lessons from an older sister I never had... You can’t make old friends. ♥️

It’s hard to believe, but I’ve never surfed, even with this haircut. 😅

Just the guys being the boys.

Heck of a weekend hanging with and the guys at member-guest.

It’s a long story, but… yes… there were fainting goats.🐐
