No, I do not mean the TV show. The sun has set and the air is
ALIVE. The excitement can be felt even if you close your eyes and ears. The drums beat and the people scream. You can almost feel transported back in time, back to a time when the most important thing was who was seeing who and where everyone was going on Saturday night. The time when youth was everlasting and old was 30. Where you are
INVINCIBLE. It is High School Football. I love going to these games. Don't get me wrong, I love going to Auburn games too but there is something about the lights and pulse of a hometown high school game. The energy of the crowd and parents, the carelessness of the students, the little boys throwing footballs in the grass, and the little girls (like mine) idolizing the cheerleaders. We have a cousin playing out his
senior year and we are so proud of him. I have to admit it brings several tears to my eyes watching him play. It is bittersweet knowing he will move on to college next year, taking that next step. For now though, his youth is everlasting.
I have been terrible about writing and I won't waste time on excuses. We have been busy with cheering and fall fun. One of the more significant things we have seen take place is my little brother heading off to Thailand for the next few months. I am a little jealous of his travel though I would not trade things here for anything. He has decided to learn to teach scuba diving and is starting an instructors course. There is no telling where he will go after that. We did enjoy a brief stint with him before he took off and the kids loved having the chance to get to know him better. He even took them for cupcakes for their birthdays. We will certainly miss him at home but live vicariously through him with pictures and skype. Isn't technology wonderful? How did people get by without being able to talk to each other without paying $50 a minute?!
