MAKE IT HAPPEN

I just wanted to send a shout out to my awesome husband who led his men's league in goals this year. This is really fun for him as he has spent his whole life as a stopper/sweeper on the defensive end of the field, but as an adult he has had the opportunity to use his speed, skill, and wicked shooting ability in a more offensive position. I mean, let's face it-we aren't getting any younger, and the years and opportunities are moving on with time.

While it is never the goal as soccer player to elevate yourself over others in such an individualistic way (after all, it is a team sport- what is best for the team always trumps individual desires), it is a lot of fun to have a moment of accomplishment. Dave has had a ton of ups and downs with injuries as well, and he also has had some melancholy (as have I) playing in Memphis. We very much miss our New Orleans teams. So, congrats, Dave, on a nice season.

AHEM...AHEM

But, and I just had to throw this out to Dave tonight. There was this one season...back in 2003-2004...prior to my knee injury where I actually accumulated more points in co-ed than Dave. I'm just sayin'....

Now, Dave said he "must not have played much that season." That sounds like a lame excuse to me, and I am going to file this one away for our kids to see one day :)
