Blessed

Most of you who read my blog know Jamey and I both coach at Alabama Christian Academy in Montgomery. Our track season was special to both of us this year because of the kids and how well we did. Our girls won the sectional meet an placed 4th at state and our boys placed second at the sectional meet.

What makes it even more special is what they gave us after the junior high and high school banquets. Normally the kids go in and get the coach a gift ($50 to some resteraunt) that is very nice. Here is what our kids got us:

$520 in gift cards that can be used on anything
$55 to Applebee's
$50 to Bonefish Grill
$20 to the Rave

Total that up: More than we would have ever expected. I have never even heard of anything like this much less experienced it.

Even without the gifts we loved the season, but it is neat that when Jamey and I are wanting to be able to afford to go out to eat for a date and are looking into planning a family vacation we will be able to go now!!! Thanks ACA families you have touched our lives this year and made us realize this is where we belong.

Very nice. You know, it's unlikely they would do that for just any coach. They obviously think very highly of you. That says a lot about you guys. Congratulations.

Wow...that's a really nice surprise to top off a great season! I know that I "secretly" appreciate a lot of people but never seem to get around to telling them. Your surprise shows me just how much it means to someone when they are made aware of how much they're appreciated...

Good job, guys.

Woo-hoo! That is very generous. It is easier to be generous to folks who are humble and thankful. Have some fun dates! Be sure to blog so us po' folks know how Bonefish Grill is. Hey, just for being who I am, I got a discount on my coffee at Hardee's this morning. Of course, all old folks get it, but still.
