Today I had my first official high school swim practice. I was not prepared because I have not swam since about mid July. But I will eventually get back in swimming shape.

Today was my grandfathers funeral and I spoke in front of the congregation to talk about his life. It was extremely hard to finish because I could not stop tearing up as I spoke. But I held strong as I pushed through the speech.

Last night...

Last night we had our Friday night football high school home game against Shelby. We were winning by one touchdown at the beginning and then it started storming so we went out to get some food to pass the time. It started back and it was a tied game 21 to 21 we threw an interception and they scored in the last 3 minutes of the 4th quarter. Shelby is a good team and we played a great game.
