“The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”


At the beginning of the year, I posted about all the fun things that would happen in this thread....little did I know the life changes that I would be starting a few weeks later…

On Jan. 30, I found out my world (my wife) was about to produce something that would become my world (my child). I wanted to tell my family so bad, but I had to wait….Wifey wanted me to do so. So I came here and told my “other family” in this post….

“Please, please, please...don't put this on my facebook page....because we are waiting to tell our family because of the difficulties we have experienced....

but....

I'm going to be a Dad…shhhhh….."

Shortly thereafter….the congratulations started coming in….but there was one….there was one that stands out now….

Oh Coach !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WONDERFUL !!!!!! XOXOXOO.

And as I reflect on that post over the past few months, I realized it (the post) was one of many….there were so many other instances of kindness….

The ornament came yesterday and it is SO WONDERFUL !!!
Hi Coach ! That is so sweet !!
You are such a kind man. Your wife is such a lucky lady as are all the students who have the pleasure to know you !!
Coach, I hope you are doing well.

There was more than that to me…but when you started looking, it was mind boggling how many more there was to others….

Nice to see you !!
you are too funny !!!! xo
You are SUCH a GENIUS with words !!! xo
Hope you get plenty of rest and stay nice and cozy !! xo
I hope you have a better night xo
Awwwww...what a precious angel xo

There is more….so much more….I could go on and on….because for CM3, kindness is who she was and it was what she brought to us….her gift to us.

See….in my world….I thought about the fun that would be had in the thread. But CM3….she didn’t bring fun to our world. To her, this was an opportunity to bring compassion.

I think about all the compassion she brought to the board, the compassion she had for her animals (and ours), and the compassion she had for us.

And as we head into the season…I want to return that compassion…

I wanted her voice to be heard…I wanted her to lead us into the season….so I found this quote from her…and I think I want it to help to do just that….

Merry Christmas! ((((((HUGS)))))))) xo

As we head into the season, let’s remember those of us who aren’t here….and how their experiences helped mold us into who we are….

As the days have turned to hours in our countdown, I pray that we all keep the spirit of compassion that CM3 brought to us…and I pray you have a Merry Christmas.

Beautiful, Coach!!!

Good morning! We had a very nice, but yet hectic weekend, looking at houses and trying to sell ours. We got word late Friday night, that a contract came in on our house and then Saturday morning, the realtor called and said we got another one. So, a bidding war commenced on our house (that's a good thing)!

We didn't hear anything from the realtor until late last night, the final offer for our home was more than what we listed it for; (very happy about that). We accepted the offer and signed the contract last night - So, we sold our home, pending passing home inspections....Yea~

We found three houses that we like, two of them, we really love and cannot decide which one we want to make an offer for. So, tonight, we are going to take Zach and Vicki there tonight for the first time to get their points of view. Of course, it boils down to what we like, etc....this is the fun part!

I'll make it easy for you.
Which one has the better position for the tree? cheesy

Nice to hear you got more than you listed it for. Good luck with your decision.

Ballcoach--Thanks for your thoughtful a poignant Special Post.



I'm feeling that way myself.



Thanks for the tip! Our beloved old Building 19 is about to go out of business, so we should be getting familiar with our local OSJL.

That is sad about Building 19, OSJL is actually getting better stuff than they used too. I would rather go to Christmas Tree Shops, but that is much farther away.

Please pray for my friend.

this is her truck, she was in the cab that was trapped under this trailer in the ditch. She had a bad concussion and a brain bleed (now stopped) Donna is on complete bed rest for at least a week. She is home now.
She came around the corner, hit slush on the road then hit sheer ice and lost control.

She is in my thoughts.

My wife and I were talking tonight, we have Friendly's Peppermint Stick ice cream, we both thought it would be amazing to put a small scoop of that ice cream into a mug of hot cocoa. Minty & creamy at the same time. mmmmmmm!

A very pretty blanket of snow fell on our town tonight. A nice surprise as we get ready to start the season. Have a great night everyone!

Good evening,

My first day back went quite well, I feel fine, I thought my back would be a lot sorer. I talked to on of my bosses about Black Friday, and how I suffer from anxiety and nearly had a panic attack last year due to the "crush" of people and the feeling of being trapped. She said she will be sure I will be safe and will be checking on me to be sure I am fine. I am so nervous about BF this year.

The other thing is, I applied for a new job tonight, I am not going to jinx myself by saying where just yet. It is for a position I have never done before but my background is spot on for what they are looking. So, if you can, please wish me luck, say a prayer, keep me in a thought, I would really appreciate it.

We are all signed and ready for the new Equinox tomorrow, we did all the paperwork tonight, they will be getting the plates tomorrow, and we will have our new car. My wife and I are beyond excited. It is also suppose to snow, so the all wheel drive may be tested pretty much right away. The snow is suppose to be here right before rush hour, so there may be a school delay.


It is after midnight, it is my turn for the special post, so here we go...
