Soccer Signing Ceremony

As a mom when your kids are unhappy, you are unhappy and your heart hurts.
When your kids are happy, you are happy...maybe even more so than they are!
Can I get an "Amen" here moms?
So when your child's life long dream comes true...
Well, you are just over the moon!
Friday, my first born celebrated her dream coming true with a signing ceremony at her high school.
Since she was 4 and playing church soccer with her shin guards outside of her socks..hehehehe,
she has dreamed of playing college soccer, Division 1 college soccer.
The official signing day for  her National Letter of Intent was actually Feb 3rd.
That was done at the kitchen table and faxed to the coach.
But thats no fun!

So each athlete/high school pick a date to have their ceremony and celebration.
What a day it was.




Surrounded by family, friends, teammates, coaches and teachers Julia signed her next 4 years to
Presbyterian College where she will be a BlueHose!
 All our PC gear was pulled out for her biggest fan club!
 Her basketball coach and Sam's principal, who's husband and daughters are PC grads.

 Her audience!



 Her Augusta Prep school teammates...back to back State Champs!
 Her club (Arsenal )teammates -6 of them signed to D1 schools!

Countless hours of practice, hard work, early mornings, long drives, bumps, bruises, sprains, concussions, heartache, victories and sacrifices paid off for this amazing daughter of mine.
