whew....time to breathe a bit

We've been stretched pretty thin. Monday-Wednesday we had volleyball tryouts. We had about 48 kids tryout, which was a blessing and a curse. We haven't had so many kids interested in volleyball out here for a long time. The A.D. said it's the most he's seen while he's been there. I took it as a huge compliment. It was a curse because we had to break some hearts. We cut about 13 kids, which was very hard.

I have 9 players on Varsity which is great, really manageable...for now =). 4 seniors, 1 junior and 4 sophomores. It will be a fun year!

It was pretty difficult for me leaving Evie so much. I left for the day seeing her asleep and coming home when she was asleep for the night. Jay was great and took her when we had a break from 5-6 but it feels like that wasn't enough. She smiles when she sees me, but I'm not always the one she looks to now, that breaks my heart, but I understand she's around her dad and grandparents throughout the day. Who could ask for a better day care!

I booked my plane ticket to come out to Fresno Sept 13-15. It's a very fast trip, but I'm excited to be there for Kelly's induction to the hall of fame! She is so deserving of it and I'm so proud to have said I've played with her since 7th grade! Evie and I will be making the trip, since I don't get to spend much time with her now.

Jay is hard at work with Evie day care and school and whatever else his passions are! We sold our escape, we have a 2001 nissan altima that was a great deal for us to get almost $14,000 out of debt, thank you Dave Ramsey for giving us the idea!

So that's about it, school is in full swing and volleyball is getting into stride and the Andersons are trying to keep up. There is a great article about our little team in the Daily Record if you are interested.

My goal is to work on Evie's uniforms for the games =) I'll try to post pictures when we are finished.
