Another great season . . .

The Shock finished up their third season on August 25th, with the Arena Cup Championship. Although we lost the Arena Cup, we had an amazing season. We only lost one game all year . . . well, two if you count the championship game. Despite the sad loss, we won our Division Championship. I love this picture I took on the field after the Division Championship game:Back to the Arena Cup . . . it was a sad end to a great season. Hopefully, it only made the fans hungrier. I know I am! Adam had the greatest attitude. If a team can beat us in our own, sold-out stadium with all that crazy noise and pressure- then all the power to them! It was a close, exciting, tense game and Tennessee Valley won by a two-point coversion.
One of the benefits of hosting the Arena Cup, was that we were able to attend a banquet at the landmark Davenport Hotel. It was built in 1914. It's beautiful and has tons of framed, old pictures hanging in the hotel- from the early 1900's. I felt like I was temporarily transported back in time. Anyway, here we are with the other original owners of the team:
The Nelsons and the Enloes are both great friends of ours. We have a blast together attending the games. We've grown close to both families. I feel so blessed to live near such dear, life-long friends.It was a risky decision when Adam gave up his law career to pursue a career involved with sports. But I have no regrets. Heavenly Father has blessed us tremendously. We LOVE our ward, our neighborhood, our community, my in-laws who live ten minutes away, our friends, our home. We are healthy, together, and have the most supportive friends & family. What more could a person ask for? We are blessed.

Congrats on a great season and we are so glad you guys like it here because you are NOT allowed to leave. How can you look so amazing in orange? You look gorgeous, I would look like a citrus fruit gone wrong in that shirt and you look like a super model.

When you first told us Adam was leaving law, we doubted. But man we should have caught that train in the first place. Hutch is SO happy running his own business. I think the stuff you learn in law is a life skill, but working in a firm will make you a divorced alcoholic.

Isn't funny how life leads you down the most unexpected paths?

Congrats on the Shock's great season! It must be the management, right?
