Wow it's been two whole weeks since I sat down and took some time to post. I wish I could honestly say it's been a busy last few weeks but if time allows for you to take a week to fly with your family to Sanfransico I guess I can not complain. We had a great time as a family touring the city sites and places such as Alcatraz and the golden bridge. Jayms and Adison and I went to see the Sharks play at the Shark tank in SanJose and then we went to Fresno for a few days relaxing in the warm 70 degree sun. We got back early Friday morning, like around 2AM and woke up early by 7AM to head off to Oakbank for Jayms to play hockey. Wow! talk about reality in a hurry. Jayms is playing on a real strong team and we greatly appreciated some great hockey. We played two of the top teams in the first three games and went 2 and 1 loosing to Elkhorn 4-0. The host team cruised through the first three games(one game a day) obviously setting themselves up for the finals, winning games like 9-0 stuff. Eastman altemately figured on playing Elkhorn in finals who would have had to play three games that day. Our boys played Elkhorn on sunday for right to play Eastman in finals and so we beat them after a five minute overtime in a shootout. Unreal! I was so proud to watch kids I don't even know, battle like they did. We then got to play Eastman a big and skilled team full of themselves and eager to stick it to us. Did'nt work out so well as we beat them 3-2 and took gold. Jayms has really grown (I wish I could speak of his size), the experience has been awsome. The other Interlake team he could have been playing on got blown out big time. This weekend we are off to Virden looking for another big weekend. On Easter?? Yes that part sucks, but Gaylene and I will have time to reflect on what our Lord did for us.
I have to put in here that life sometimes has its good moments, but not always does life give us what we desire. I am aware of friends and family with difficult times in their lives. Close Family members sick and even dying. I am aware of those who have lost loved ones and I feel for them. I will continue praying for specific needs of people around me. Hang in there!
