I promised a few people I'd blog especially Allie so here I go! A lot of exciting stuff has been going on since arriving Monday. Let's start off with Monday, I had a nice family going away breakfast, while celebrating my little brothers 14th birthday, it was really cool I enjoyed everyones company who was there and was sad/excited to leave on my little brothers birthday for obvious reasons. Anyways if you everrrrrrrrrrrrrr have the option of driving alone or with someone for more than 2 hours choose with someone, on my 4 1/2 hour drive from Miami to Jacksonville it was extremely boring I literally entertained myself by singing along to all the different types of music I had on my iPod. I gotta admit I'm gonna be trying out for American Idol when it comes around, haa.
So upon my arrival to Jacksonville, I got ready for my first training session with the team we are still missing something like 4-6 players I think, but the majority of the group is here and at first glance we have a pretty solid team that I'm excited to be apart of. I think the most exciting part of being with the Jax Destroyers is the community and how they are so involved with getting our name out there, and getting us support. This community up here seems like it just filled with such great spirited, positive, heart warming people. It's really a pleasure to be apart of this team, and it's got the feeling of maybe something special being able to come out of this season despite being a new team in PDL. I don't really know the level of competition in PDL so I can't really speak much of where our team would rank or anything. I really do love the professionalism that this club has from its board members, coaches, trainers, and training sessions. Coach Eric Dutt and his staff seem to be doing a wonderful job, and I'm really liking how things are shaping out through two days. A little premature, but at least were off on the right foot.
I have been immensely blessed with my living arrangement!! It's really crazy to me, how one of the women on the board Susan Pitman accepted to take me into her home, and live with her and her family. It is her, her husband, their two sons of age 15, and 17 and a dog and a cat. They have given me my own room, have allowed me to eat their food, use their bathrooms, TVs, everything whatever I need. It's crazy they basically took a stranger and allowed them to live with them. As we got to know each other over the past two days, I have learned they are Christians, and are fully devoted. I mean seriously, do you reallyyyyyyyyyyy think that's a coincidence? I sure don't, I know God does things His way for His reason, I can already feel my faith being strengthened by just being around them. Such a great and positive family, they have been more than gracious with me and I can't thank God enough.
I'm gonna cut this blog off here, but things have just been going awesome all around, I really can't complain. God has blessed me with favor, grace, and just continues to bless me with great situations! I'm looking forward to season filled with Gods glory! I'm off to an interview with Web.com to try and hopefully get a summer job which will be exciting :) We travel tomorrow to Mississippi to play the defending southeastern region champs, it ain't no thang though, we got a good team , and I look forward to pulling out a good result! Also if your on facebook go like the "Jax Destroyers" page and show support, thanks guys! This wasn't proofread so bear with me!
God Bless!
