October is almost over!!

WOW. Time has really flown by this fall. It was just yesterday that we were starting volleyball 2-a-days. We are finished with the first round of district and ended on a GREAT note the other day with a win over Friona. That win should carry us into the last round. Right now it is a fight to get a spot in the playoffs. We need to win 2 of our last 3 games. No matter what, I will be very proud of these girls this year. They have overcome some adversity and won games that we were down and have hung in there with me during long practices and travel that took the whole day to get there it seemed. We are a well-traveled group of girls. Our last 3 games are on the road. Tulia, Dimmitt and end with Friona on the 24th.

Through it all Shane and his parents have been there for me and have attended every game possible. I could not do all this without their support. I also appreciate the middle of the week meals that my mother-in-law would have prepared for us. It usually was on a day that I was totally exhausted and I appreciated it even more.

And a BIG thank you to me biggest fan ever AMANDA. She is right there along with them and never failed to attend a home game. She even helped during our tournament when she had bigger and more important things she could have been doing. I am so blessed to have such people in my life.

After volleyball season I will have a few weeks to gather my thoughts before I think about "Little Spiker" in January and Softball begins.



Then during this week a special surprise came to our family early. Jenna Leigh Harbert was brought into this world 7 weeks early due to a cyst on Momma's ovary. Jenna weighing 5lbs on Oct 12 is doing GREAT and so is mom. That makes 6 nieces and nephews on my side of the family. I guess since I will not be having any of my own I can spoil each and every one of them.
