2018 High School

2022 Bachelors Degree Sports Therapy

2024 Master of Science Sports Therapy, Certified Athletic Trainer

It’s Been A Family Affair!

It’s been a busy week-end. Thursday we drove five and a half hours to watch the youngest grand daughter (far right) compete in the final track meet of her college and athletic career. There will be more about that next week. Friday morning we left the youngest grand daughters college and drove to the middle grand daughter’s university to watch her receive her masters degree in sports therapy. She has passed her exam and is a certified athletic trainer. Next week she will begin her career as a trainer in the Chicago Cubs minor league system. This is a dream come true for our most recent graduate. She has wanted to be a trainer since high school and the Cubs are her favorite team!

We have been more than blessed watch all of our grand kids grow up and I have spent the past twenty-eight years behind the camera recording precious memories. You can see the two great grandsons in this last picture, but they live three hours away, so my capturing of life moments will be limited going forward, but as long as I can hold a camera and focus the lens, I will record what I can.

Monday’s Music Moves Me

I am going to stray from the assigned theme this week and give a little love to our recent graduate. I started to post a top song from each of her degree years, then I thought, she loves vinyls and a vast array of music genres that go back decades and decades, so I will just post some of the music she loves. Here we go.

There are five women in my life, my wife, our daughter and the three grand daughters. Each one is a perfect fit in my life.

Recently I picked up this classic vinyl and my grand daughter is in love with the music. Needless to say the title fits all of the women in my life. Each of them resides in a special place in my heart and I will love them forever.

To say that the middle grand daughter is an “Old Soul” is not an exaggeration. She told me some of her friends think she’s a little eccentric because she owns an Ella Fitzgerald vinyl. I just smiled and said, a few of my friends might think the same thing of someone her age, but they’re gonna love you for it.

Who doesn’t like The Eagles? NOBODY!!! That’s who. Our girl has had a dream for 10 years. and hard work, perseverance, along with the support of family, friends and teachers has allowed her to live her dream and take it to the limit! Have a blessed week.

Aww…some Monday

Spring Has Sprung

Monday’s Music Moves Me

This week the theme at 4M is “Whatever Moves You”, The other evening I was working on the computer and my wife came in the office with her phone and said, “Listen to this.” I was moved. The artist is Kacey Musgraves and the song, “The Architect”. Kacey’s latest album, Deeper Well, dropped Thursday night and I have already ordered my copy. I checked her latest tour schedule and Dallas is the closest she will come to our town. There are a couple of other groups that will be on the tour and worth a listen. Here ya go!
