Ladies and gentlemen, he did it! He scored a goal! James played soccer the best that I’ve seen him play tonight. He was more aggressive, and really went for the ball tonight, and in the course of doing that, he scored his first goal.
I may need to add a little background to this story. There’s a boy on James’s team named Jake, and he is the “star” player on James’s team. He’s the best 7-year-old player I’ve probably ever seen, and allegedly he’s the national wrestling champion for kids his age. Anyway, this whole season, I’m not sure that any other person on their team has scored, other than Jake. So tonight, while the coach had Jake pulled out for a rest, James took control of the ball and took it down field, and kicked in a goal. It was awesome! He was pretty dang pumped.
That was the bright spot on what has been a somewhat difficult week. The kids are trying to adjust to their new schedule, so they are cranky; I’m adjusting to my new schedule, so I’m just tired; Julie is adjusting to her new calling (sorry, it’s not officially done yet, so you’ll just have to wait); and my step-mom’s sister died tragically in a turn of events that apparently took everyone by surprise. So, seeing James succeed tonight, and seeing how excited he was really made my day.

Way to go James. You are really doing well up there in that fresh air. How is first grade in Wyoming?
We've got the next David Beckham in OUR family. Way to go James!!!
Let us know if you need help with any of your new callings, etc.
Great job James!!!
don't forget we still get the hook up at the Al's sales and anything you guys need we probably can get it for pretty cheap, especially now that you guys are living in the country the discount will be more useful. instead of just for sunglasses!
