Tough guys heartbreak

Today was the Superbowl game for my sons Varsity Youth Football team. We were 6-1 for the season, and we had to face the only team to beat us this year for the title. Unfortunately we were defeated! :-) These boys put so much of their heart and soul into this game, and it wsa so heartbreaking to see them lose. They are 11 and 12 yr olds, and for 1o of our 8th graders, it was their last game EVER with the team. Emotions were so high, and these tough "not-so-little-anymore-boys" have been through a lot the last two weeks. My son usually plays the whole game, and last week was injured and not able to play football until the game today, to give his knee some rest. Our Quarterback broke his arm last week in that same playoff game, and didn't tell his coach (his dad) that it hurt until they won the game, because my son was out for the game with an injury, and he didn't want to disappoint the other team members by losing, so he stayed IN the game to win it. What a tough guy!
Here are our playoff game winners, our Varsity Oakwood Comets! My son is sitting in the front, with an injured leg. QB with broken arm is #12

Here they are winning 2nd place today.Andrew is #27.

Pictured above, their coaches tell them: "There is no smiling in Football!" They never said anything about crying. And believe me..they were crying today. I felt so bad for them, I just wanted to hug them all!! For their efforts today and all their hard work all year!
Football is over for the year..now basketball starts on Monday!

I am starting to get more excited!

I'm going on a cruise, I'm going on a cruise...LOL
Some of the members in the scrapbooking newsgroup I belong to are going on a Carnival Cruise in March '09, and I am planning on going with the group ! This will be a big trip for me. It will be my first cruise, my first time ever on any kind of a boat on the ocean, and my first time visiting another country. How cool is that?! And, I get to go with my friend Barb from work. It should be lots of fun. She is a lot of fun and a nut, and loves to scrapbook, but she is afraid of the water!! I really had to talk her into going and convince her that we weren't sailing on the Titanic!
I am also glad she will finally get to meet some of my RCS friends that I talk about at work. I have met some of the gals in person a couple of years ago at a scrapbook retreat- Lynne, Amy, Sandy, April, Tammy, Amanda, Katrina, M-C ,Deb and Amy, to name a few. I will get to see some of them again, and get to finally meet a few more on the cruise! I gotta give a shout out to M-C, our group administrator and trip organizer. She's such a great person and probably one of the most busy but organized people I have ever known..LOL
Our first deposits are paid, and this trip is really starting to be "real", not just a dream!
The Carnival Inspiration is the name of our ship. Check it out!
