The start of my long month

Weather in the 30's today with sun.

Monday is a terrible day for me. It is the start of the work week and all in all, just sucks.

Yesterday, Jess played in a volleyball tournament and they did well. I think they got 3rd or 4th overall and lost to a 18 year old team. The tournament was for 18 and 17 year olds. Our team is a 17 year old team so I guess if we had to loose it would be to an older group.

The woman who runs the club, not the coach but the actual lady that runs the whole program for all age groups, was the head coach at Drake and played for the university of Oklahoma as an all-american.

Anyway, she told me yesterday, "we need to talk". She said Jess is really a good player and if she was still coaching at Drake she would want her to come play for her. She also said she has a lot of contacts around the country that coach at the University level. She said she has a friend at UTEP that would take Jess right now.

So she wants to have us video tape the next match and then sit down with us to see where she would be interested in playing. She said she would make calls and send the video and a bio for us. She also asked if Jess would be interested in playing at Iowa.

I guess we will wait and see but it was kind of cool.

Friday, the high school had the "Sweetheart Dance". Jess had fun. I have posted some pictures.

Drew has been lifting weights after school and Friday he was a little soar. He stayed overnight at a friends house Friday and just hung out at the house the rest of the weekend.

He doesn't like going to the volleyball matches so he stays home. It is nice he is old enough to stay home alone. It kind of sucked for him to have to go to all of these things. He really got bored.

Ok, off to start.
