Thankful

Being back yesterday made me appreciate just how much I miss home.  Kicked off the day visiting with Meredith followed by a solid workout at the gym with Brian and co.
Tabata style lift- 10 exercises, 20 seconds each for 6 total rounds: pushups, plank, pushups again, seal-ups, jumping slam balls, left leg DB step ups, bench dips, right leg DB step ups, KB swings, ab leg lifts.

Great to grab lunch and visit with Brian and Kelsey afterwards.  Congrats to Kelsey on another record-setting season at UNC-G.
Also headed down to Cardinal Gibbons last night to play in the alumni game.  Great to visit with all the coaches and my old teammates again...had fun playing against T out there too.  Congrats to Tyler on NCHSAA Eastern Region Player of the Year...what an honor!

Got some yard work done today and getting ready to kick back with the family and Nana and Pops to enjoy some great food.  Remembering the blessings and thankful to have so many great people around me in my life.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Repeat!

Happy to make it home this weekend to watch Tyler and Cardinal Gibbons pull off a first ever soccer NCHSAA soccer title repeat.  Tyler played a very well and solidified a great legacy at Gibbons.  So happy to visit with family, friends, alumni, coaches, and faculty this weekend.  It will be funny to face off against Tyler in the Gibbons alumni game later next week.  Congrats again to the boys with all of their success - a great way to kick off the holiday season!

Gibbons Returns

Cardinal Gibbons finally returns to the NCHSAA soccer state title game! Very excited for Tyler and his team as they look to win it all on Saturday. Also excited that another Triangle team, Jordan, will also be playing in their respective final. Going to drive back to NC this weekend (hopefully with Kalee as she does have some conflicts on Saturday....hopefully won't hinder the tour) and watch the games. Looking forward to visiting with family and of course BD!

State Playoffs!

Although my season is done, it's time to root for some of my family and friends playing in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association soccer playoffs tonight. Excited that Cardinal Gibbons and Jordan are playing in their respective state semi-final matches. Best of luck to Tyler and the Gibbons team, I would love to come home this weekend and watch the boys compete for our program's 3rd state title. Jacksonville will be good, but we have a huge advantage hosting the game on our own field...lets hope we can capitalize.
