After seven weeks of being in a shoulder sling and now three weeks of rehab. I think I'm ready to start writing the blog again. Having a shoulder replaced was a good thing, but it takes a lot out of you. I spent a lot of time by myself, and not being able to do anything for yourself makes life not a lot of fun. Coach was wonderful. He did everything he could to help around the house. And still kept working with the football team and summer school. We have some exciting news! He was made Head Coach at the end of this past school year. I'm sure there are a few of you out there who know what that means. Endless texting, phone calls, paperwork, planning and all that comes with being a Head Coach. And now I'm the head coaches wife which comes with it's own responsibilities.
We've already gone through football camp. That was held up at Camp Tontozona which is where ASU has in the past and is going to hold their camp again this year. The coaches and players love it up there. It's cool and not 105 like in the valley and from what we have heard the players really enjoyed themselves this year.
Yesterday was their Golf Tournament, which was held at Apache Creek Golf course in Apache Junction. The rain held out until everyone was off the course, feed and on their way home. It was overcast and very humid, but everyone seemed to have had a great time and the football program raised some money for things they'll need during this upcoming year. The tournament was run by Coach Reid and his wife Becky, things went off without a hitch.
So starting tomorrow Coach is back to work. Getting ready for his students and of course running plays and before you know it the whistle will blow and the crowds will be on their feet. Hoping for a good season.
I'm back to work also. That has been a bit rough for me. Due to the fact that I can't lift anything yet, I'm not able to do my job. Which makes me a bit angry at times. So between rehab a bit of pain and just trying to not take things out on anyone. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing with Me. I really can't wait to get started with the crafting and sewing again, which reminds me; the sewing machine has to get a tune up ASAP. I thought, ha ha that I would be able to do a few projects while I was home. When your right arm is in a sling, it makes it hard to turn a page of a book much less any kind of craft project I thought I could do. Not a happy camper :( The arm is working now, so I've been doing some cross stitching. My grandsons birthdays are in September and it's going to be Cars themed. So I have some ideas for decorations. Marion who's going to be two, loves the Disney movie Cars. We gave him a place setting with the Cars theme. He was so excited he didn't know what to do. And Mase our little guy ( he'll be one ) got the Toy Story set. He was very happy too. Though he's still not sure why. But if big brothers happy so is he. They are bundles of joy for us. They are just so darn cute! We can't wait to take them to Disney Land, so they can both ride the rides at the Cars Theme Park there.
Oh we did get to go a trip to Minnesota. Coaches parents and sister Amy and brother-in-law Peter live there. It's the first time that I was able to see more of the Twin Cities. We had a wonderful time! The weather was great while we were there. I posted a few pictures on Instagram (rossiaz). I was still in my sling, but we made the best of it. My in laws are great! We ate so much, I can't believe that I didn't pile on the weight. We made a list of all the places we had heard of or seen on Diners Drives and Dives. We even went to the Cupcake Wars Champion winner's store. Wow he can make some great cupcakes. It was a little rainy that day, so it was perfect for a cupcake and coffee.
Well we need to get something together for dinner. I'll continue with the list of places we ate at while on vacation. So hope the rest of your Sunday evening is a great one. I'll stop back by tommorrow.
