They had an okay season.

I don't remember the year end stats..I think? they lost more than won?

Trent wants to be a professional Soccer player...not sure how viable that plan is..but if he does..what a story that would be!!!

Then there was a wedding

Darica & Major tied the knot on Aug 23 and we were lucky enough to attend!

Each table had to sing a song with Love in the title to get in line for their dinner. We payed Trent to sing for our table..."We love Jesus ..Yes we do...We love Jesus..how about you??"
