Mark's Soccer Season

 

Mark just finishd his 2011 soccer season. They had a great year, he was captain of the team, got named all pac west player of the week and scored three goals. His first two goals where on the mainland trip and I was pretty sad I didnt get to see them but his third one is a really cool story (we think they might make a movie out of it one day ;) So anyways it was the last game of the season and senior night, so just all around a special day for Mark. He was playing amazing and all game kept getting very close to scoring. Then with seven seconds left he ran down the field and scored a goal. Everyone went nuts his whole team was running around the field behind him and, this is my favorite part, he ran to the sideline and gave me a big kiss before going to celebrate with the team. This was so special because it was quite literally his last touch on the ball in his soccer career as a player. If you know my husband then you know how passionate he  is about the things that he loves and soccer is one of those things. Mark spent hours upon hours practicing and dreaming and he truly got to live out his dreams this season. Well as you can tell I am one proud wifey so bare with me as you look at all the pictures of my cute husband playing in his last season.



 



This is the cute wives club. We all became really great friends throughout the season and it was fun to have other women around to watch the games with.





Oh and  P.S. a little peice of good news, Mark graduates in April yeah, and he got offered the position of assistant coach to the mens soccer team next season. He also works as head over athletic marketing and got asked to continue that job.  So we will not be saying goodbye to this beautiful island just yet!
