The Zebra

I am starting football officiating in a couple of weeks. I have worked a couple scrimmages in the last week. I will also be working six different scrimmages over the next week and a half. I absolutely love it so far and I can't wait until the games actually start for real. Scrimmages are ok, but the games will be exciting. I got involved in it because my father-in-law has been an official for over thirty years. He asked me a couple of times to join him and I decided to try it this year and see what I think. So far, so good. I will keep you all updated as this season goes on.

Back to Reality

Well... back to reality tomorrow. School starts for both Dea and I tomorrow. I am excited for the new year and am ready to be back with students. Dea on the other hand is not totally excited. I think being back in a high school will allow her to regain her joy for the kids. I am so happy that we moved schools. I don't think I could handle still being at Apollo. This is definitely for the best for me. Wish me luck because it is back to reality (at least until Labor Day weekend). You can look at my school website from my listings in the right-hand column of the blog. It is called Safford Middle School.

The Bourne Ultimatum

My buddy Jason and I went and saw "The Bourne Ultimatum" last night. WOW!! What an amazing end to this phenominal trilogy. I can't wait to see it again. If you want to go sit and experience an intense story that will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, then you have got to check this one out. It will be worth the money spent on it. I will definately buy this one once it is available.

Our Newest Family Members

Well, we have two new identical family members. Dea's sister Andy had twin girls on July 22nd. They are the most amazing little chickens I have seen recently. They are named Celyn and Avery and they're the most precious little girls. What an awesome experience to get to hold them and feed them. They are small enough that I can hold them stacked in one arm. I can't wait to see them continue to grow. Blake, Andy's 2.5 year old son, doesn't really know what he is in for. We will see how that all turns out for him. I can't wait until the first time we show up at their house and he has lots of barrettes sticking out of his hair and make-up all over his face. Poor boy.
