What a great night!! Kevin proposed to Jessika at half-time of the Concord High football game. He has been planning it for weeks, and Jessika had NO idea. He told her that Jeff was getting a big award for his volunteering for football, and that it would be presented at half-time. He told her that he would be presenting it! It worked like a charm, everyone knew except Jessika. I wrapped a fake plaque and asked Jess to go down on the field with Kevin to help. So there she stands and Kevin started in " I would like to present an award to a very special person.... This person has been there for me and makes me a better person... on and on... then they start some romantic music, she started to laugh, I thought she knows now. No she just thought that they were playing the music because he was being all sappy about his dad. Then he motioned to the cheerleader who were on the field and held up this huge sign. (the picture doesn't to it justice, Jessika b/f Lisa made it) He got down on one knee and of course she said YES. It was a great moment. They met at a football game when Kevin was a sophomore and Jess was a freshman. Welcome to the family, you are a great addition!

Home Movies

I was at my mom's and found a box of old 8mm film. It has been years since we have taken out the old projector and seen our family home movies. The last time we tried to hook up the old projector and watch them the film was old and fragile. I was afraid it would break. I found out the Costco transfers 8mm to CD's. I turned them all in, we have film starting in 1951. It takes about 3 weeks I can't wait to get them back.

VIP Soccer

Saturday morning I went to watch some of my students at school play soccer. It was their last game of the season, and it just so happened that both of the students were playing at the same time. The VIP teams (special needs) play teams of able bodied youth teams. They give them opportunities to score and steal the ball. I am sure these teams learn from our kids! Then they are off to their own games and VIP divide up and play each other.

Sean came to watch his classmates and was invited in to the game!

Yes on 8

Please join me in supporting marriage.
