A Moment's Peace






I'm a total sucker for beautiful scenery, and especially a sunset picture and my family's recent trip to Island Park, ID and Yellowstone did not disappoint. I never get tired of simply driving around and witnessing the overwhelming power of nature. We spent a week relaxing, catching up with family, and sneaking glimpses of some amazing things.

I came home feeling very refreshed and really looking forward to what lies ahead in the next few months. Starting tomorrow, I will be embarking on a new adventure, and this trip was exactly what I needed.

Tomorrow begins the next chapter in my life's passion, volleyball. Not only do I love playing whenever I get the chance, I've also been coaching for the last ten years. When we moved here four years ago, I had to sacrifice an opportunity that I'd been waiting my whole life for, but it was the best thing for my young family at the time. Since then, I've had to swallow my pride as well as my "don't you know who I am?" attitude and begin anew from the standpoint of earning the respect of the already established coaching staff in this town.

My chance has finally come. This summer I was offered the sophomore coaching position at the high school here. Even though it's not my first choice, I'm definitely grabbing this chance and running with it for the time being. Tryouts start tomorrow, and to tell the truth, I think I'm more nervous for this then I ever was to actually be trying out as a player. Only time will tell, but I'm confident in my ability and know that with my dedication to the sport will pay off in the end.

Wish me luck! I'm excited to be starting this new adventure!
