Being Bored

Lincoln and Reagan are experiencing just how long the days are without school I think Reagan has done more to occupy herself than Lincoln but both are already finding the days long without school…oh to be bored!

Football is back, almost!

Training camp started this week at Dove Valley and finally there is something to actually talk about and I find myself sat here listening to a Mile High podcast discussing the pressers I watched live earlier. Sean Payton is so refreshing to listen to and just seems to have it all together taking no shit […]

So many things

We lost tonight at pool 9 1 you have to take a loss like that no point in crying Jamie Achieving her Acreditation was momentus but tempered by the fact that her job for the last 18 months sort of required it, so even though she has super excelled, she felt a bit of a […]

Accredited, finally

Jamie got the call tonight that she has worked so hard for over the last year or so and I am so FUCKING proud of her.
