Fittest Farmhand 2014

... finally.
One of the absolute best days of the year.. no joke.
On the way home, Desi turned to the rest of us in the truck and said, " I love our Family. "
Can't argue- we have something special... we talk about this every now and then, but after an all day event it becomes even more apparent just how much we have...
I am surrounded by a group of people that support and care for each other, keeping each other honest & accountable, and challenging each other in competition and, even more so, in life.
I am very blessed.

Life has been busy- I am reminded as I write this tonight to make the time for what matters most to you... to make sure you find some peace in the craziness.
Here is a little snapshot from our fun @fittestfarmhand2014  Thank You for the memories friends.

Gameday...Again!!!

Satuday was gameday for Volleyball (they had a tournament).
This is usually the day after the Football game...but due to the weather, many games were postponed to Saturday. After a game is postoned...you pick it up right where you left off...
For WR, that was right at Halftime....
WR 12 - DCE 7
DCE elects to recieve for the 2nd half...
As usuall, the WR Defense is stellar...this time, the WR Offense performs!!!

Final WR 32 / DCE 7!!! Oh what a WIN!!!
Always nice to beat DCE, and getting a WIN makes everything a little brighter!
