Football is Here!

IT'S OFFICIAL! Matt hit the practice fields at 6:15 this morning for the start of 2-a-days! Football season has begun! 

He sent me a copy of his schedule for this first week, and holy cow, he literally is on the field all day.  Varsity practice ended at 10:15am and freshman practice started at 10:16am.  Not even time to go to the bathroom or eat lunch.  Ouch!  I'm going to have one tired, hungry, sunburned coach on my hands this week.  

We swung by to watch a little bit of freshman practice on our way home from the grocery store, and look who we ran into! It was perfect timing, even if Matt was in a bad mood and stressed from first practice.  I'm glad we got to see him since he will be home after Carter goes to bed every night this week.  

It's a little (okay, a lot) bittersweet knowing that we won't see a whole lot of Matt until the season is over.  I'm thankful that Carter is still young enough to not really know the difference or ask for Matt, and extra thankful that I'm still staying home from work so we can run up to the school anytime.  Matt absolutely LOVES his job so it's all worth it when he's as happy as he is.

And the weather is supposed to be low- to mid-90's this week! The "feels like" temps are higher, but still not as bad as it could be, or was last year.  We even have a little rain in the forecast, so hopefully that will provide some cloud coverage for our guys.

17 days until kick-off!
