Way to Go Daddy-O

Recently I congratulated Chris on finishing his Master's Degree, and I shared about his promotion to a position that took him out of the classroom for half a day in order to serve as his school's behavior specialist. Well, that has all changed! After a series of nerve racking interviews and some mid-year changes, Chris was promoted again and is now the principal intern at his school. His district requires every principal to complete at least one year of interning before moving on to an assistant principal position. He now works full time as an administrator on his campus along with two other principals. This new position required him to leave the classroom completely just this week. It was a fast and furious transition for him, full of highs and lows and a fair amount of bitter-sweet stress, but we are so excited about this new career path and are thankful he was chosen for the position.

I have to say, I am a little sad, because as a principal, Chris will probably never coach again if we stay in Texas. And I know he's my husband, but I have to say he was a really good coach. He connected with his players, made it fun, and provided encouragement and motivation to his teams. His players looked up to him, and he was a positive role model for all the young men he coached. But then again, all of those characteristics will also be what makes him a great principal too. The Lord has blessed our family so much, and I thank HIM for all that he does for us.
