Halftime report...

We're almost half way through our eternal ..did I say eternal..I meant exceptional football season. As the endless..did I say endless...I meant exciting weeks go by, things are actually looking pretty good! Jack is finally figuring out this crazy game and I'm proud to say earned a spot on the starting line up. Last week's game was "away" and who knew we'd be playing at Hogwarts?!

Stadium High School, right by the water ..isn't it gorgeous? My high school looked nothing like this.  The literal stadium consisted of solid concrete bleachers with zero handrails and steep stairs of death. One way in, one way out. The stairs up to the parking garage went on for miles. What was totally awesome was that it started raining a tad bit before halftime and then dumped the entire rest of the game. And the fact that my umbrella was warm and dry sitting in the car 4, 357 stairs straight up was equally awesome.
I had to retrieve the umbrella.
 My top half stayed dry, the bottom half was soaked, that's right, solid concrete bleachers.

The tough guy shot.
Jack made 4 tackles and his confidence is growing with each game. I'm proud of my boy for keeping a good attitude,  trying something new, working hard, and earning a starting position. I'm just proud I went and got my umbrella.

I kid you not, I got goosebumps...GOOSEBUMPS when you said, "the bottom half was soaked, hat's right, solid concrete bleachers." I felt for you :(

What an amazing high school! I bet it's got a ton of fun ghost stories.
