Surviving volleyball season

Now that Shane has survived the first season of volleyball with me I believe he can survive a few more years. Throughout the whole season Shane was there for me to support all the trials and tribulations of being a coach. He and his family attended most home games and as many out of town games as they could. It was wonderful having that kind of support.

Now it is my turn to be supportive as he starts stripping cotton and his days are long with 12-16 hour days. I know it will be hard because he will not get time off to do holidays like I will. So I will have to share the time with my family and his work. I might even have to cook a meal or two. Hope I don't burn down the house. haha.

In the beginning

It all began 2 years ago while each of us were going through a divorce. We traveled each weekend so that we could see each other. We decided that we wanted to spend each and every day together. The weekend were just not enough. We were browsing through a jewelry store in Amarillo and both knew it was meant to be. I found the ring that was perfect for us & me. Once I tried it on, there was not another ring for me.

We didn't waste any time. We married less that 2 months later in March 2008. We have had a wonderful 7 months married. We have had all kinds of experiences in a short amount of time. We have moved in, moved out, built a closet, painted, stored, trashed, left a job, found a new job, selling a house and combined 2 households full of stuff. We have lost a dog and she is now burried in our back yard.

We have killed rattlesnakes on our front porch. Shane has been wonderful through all of this. When I ask why he does what he does or "Thank" him for everything, he says it is "part of the job" or isn't that what I am suppose to do? HE IS WONDERFUL!!!
