I’ve got this...

We we hit a major accomplishment in week 2 this year. For the first time in 5 years, I went to a regular season away game and stayed the entire time...even through the rain. This has only happened one other time and it was playoffs! I love watching my sweet babes run into their daddy’s arms after a big game (ps we won!) 

Last football season I learned that I am able to go and do things without my husband. Before last season I would hit a breaking point about half way through because I felt like if I went and did things with the kids while he was working, he would miss out on so much. He has never wanted me to just sit at home and wait around. I also felt like I could never go on “adventures” without him there to help. However, last year I up and decided one random Sunday that I was taking the kids to the zoo by myself. I think Tyler was slightly worried, not because he didn’t think I could do it, but because I never did things like that. That was a day that I realized I could go do fun things and it has kinda turned into tradition. Now, several sundays through football season, I load the kids up and we go to the zoo. It’s always so fun!

While we miss dad on each adventure we take, it’s nice knowing that we can go do stuff while he does what he loves! 

That’s all for now ❤️

Are you ready, momma?

Are you ready, momma? 

That is the question I get 100+ times in the weeks leading to football season. I feel like it’s such a loaded question. Am I ready for football games, cheering, being nervous in the 4th quarter, feeding the coaches, and feeding a bunch of big high school boys? Heck yes I’m ready. I love that part. Watching my husband do something he is passionate about and was clearly made to do. It makes heart so happy to see and I will always be his biggest supporter!

On the flip side- am I ready to see him less, for the kids to mention that they miss their daddy, to attend every social event alone? Never, but I know we can do it and we do it so well. I am fully capable of doing the dinners, and baths, and soccer practice, and whatever else we decide to do, on my own. That doesn’t mean I like it. I love having my husband by my side, to make things a little easier (we are a pretty good team) but each season, I figure this mom thing out a little more. We are able to get in a good rhythm and we are able to thrive, not just survive. 

So yes, football season is here and this momma is SO ready!
