Weather--Slow Down--Be Content

I couldn't help this week but be jealous of all of my family and friends enjoying days off with their families. I know being stuck can stink, but I would be pretty excited to spend 2 or 3 days forced to hang out and slow down. Can't go anywhere, Can't add new papers to grade.... just slow down! No such luck down here in Austin, although we did get one delay day. I also know I will be glad in February and April when we don't have to make up the days, but still right now I wouldn't have minded the break at all!!!!

This year has been a whirlwind as new jobs and new cities can be. I have a new job, with all but a couple of players with almost no varsity experience. While I am not sure I have ever lost this many games before Christmas before, I can also say I have never seen a team improve this much in such a short period of time. They are good kids, good athletes and becoming better basketball player every day. I have a really supportive boss and my classes are filled with pretty good kids!

The best part is life has slowed down. I get to see Peyton every day.... no more asking if mommy has to go on the airplane. And have got to spend some time with really good friends! Peyton has a great preschool and we couldn't ask for a better district to raise her in.

I would be lying if I said I didn't miss the intensity of college basketball. I do and I miss coaching that super elite player that I did in the Big 12. However the trade offs are worth it. I feel like we are in a good place and that we have found a great niche for our family!

GO CHAPS!
