This last week....

Well this last week was a lot to take in. Friday was my last day in the OSU weight-room. For some, that may not seem like much but for me it is an end to something that has been a part of my life for the past 12 or so years. Things haven't gone as I would have liked them to be within the weight-room but it was worth every minute. I have got to do a lot of things that many would love to have done. There was a price to pay but most days it was so much fun. I have gotten to meet I don't even know how many athletes. Be a part of a lot of amazing things within this run. It makes me sad to think that for now I won't be in there anymore.

I could tell more than ever that this was going to be hard when I found myself watching the NFL draft. May not seem like much but it's really cool to see guys you have worked with and got to know make it to the next level. For so many years I really never gave it much thought because I was going to be with the next years group. I have always loved watching college football. Love game day... the sights and sounds.... the players getting ready.... walking out the tunnel on to the field as 50,000 fans go crazy. What a feeling.

There are many days that I wish I could have been like John and to have been able to play at the next level. Then again the grass isn't always greener on the other side, lol. I say that with the utmost respect to John. He was so much fun to play ball with and against growing up.

Maybe somewhere down the road I will get to walk on to that field for game-day again but for now.... time to start the next chapter. For all of you that have been there for me and helped me along the way.... THANK YOU. Been an amazing ride!

On Friday Katrina and I also found out that, for now, we won't be moving to Dallas. We found out that there aren't any routes open down there. Not even a relief driver which is helping out, cover vacations, etc... We are both were very excited about getting down there but it's not in Gods plan just yet. As Mike said, "God isn't through with us here in Stillwater yet". We both are taking it good. Would have been nice to move now but there is still alot of upside to staying here. Katrina and I plan on enjoying some time with each other. Something we couldn't really do before with me working in the weight-room.

First on the dock-it is to go see Mike, Emily and Grayson this tuesday. There are a lot of things we want to do and are looking forward to being able to do them. Will be nice to go down and see John and Celia this summer. We both plan on seeing our friends more. Katrina and I have been married almost a year and really haven't go much "us" time. Super excited about getting to spend time with my beautiful wife. Crazy I know, lol.

Well..... a lot to take in but ready for what God has in store for us. Once again, thanks for everything and please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
