Team Tuohy

There has been a serious lack in the updates on lacrosse... it has consumed our lives and you would honestly think I had a child on the team and drive a mini-van for how much our life already revolves around it. Luckily for me I grew up in a family where this was to be the norm and so as my life continues in this pattern I am happy to follow along. With the season about half way behind us now I am a proud wife to say the team is 7-0 undefeated! They are simply rock stars!

I won't lie, this last Friday was a bit of a nail bitter and Michael has informed me he aged a good five years in those last seconds as the score game down to a single point difference. All that matters though, they had a great time out there and they still were able to hold down a very good team and push through to win! It was a great learning experience for these boys who seem to be used to 10-2 scores, it set them on fire and pushed them to drive with their hearts to success. Their coaches however, were clenching their hearts-good thing they all are healthy!

I continue to be so proud and amazed by the work Michael is doing with these boys. Each game they look better with their skills and teamwork. It will be unbelievable what they will be able to do by high school at this rate. The families could not be sweeter and there are a few moms who just make me feel right at home in those stands every week cheering them on! It truly has continued to be such a wonderful experience for our family, and we look forward to all that is yet to come! What a great way to start our spring season =)

GO PANTHERS!

Wonderful Coaches! I particularly like the one in the middle ;)

Love Friday Night Games!

Mike in his Element!

My husband loves lacrosse. When I say love, I mean looooooove. There is this sense of joy when he cradles the ball back and forth, or strings his stick. A sense of belonging and comfort when he is out on that field, it just works for him. I use to find that peace, comfort and joy when snuggled up at my grandparents house getting spoiled and loved on, but for him it is all in being on the field. When we moved back over to the states I was hopeful that this love would continue with us, although a bit nervous when Dallas became our home! To our blessing not even a month after arriving though he had a coaching position lined up for the upcomming season and was roaring to go! The day of his first practice, I will never forget the glowing I had in my heart watching him coach these boys... he has a magical way when it comes to teaching kids and every now and then when I get a glimpse of him in action, my heart melts and I remember how I fell in love with  him all over again. See, we met at a camp full of  kids and it was that mutual ground that started this very relationship! So once again my heart was beaming and I knew he had found his nitch here in our new home. I am sure the rest of the season will be documented on here as well as it starts to consume our life more and more! In the mean time here is a glimpse of practice one...


Gooo Panthers!
