5 Years, 19 Weeks.
No, I'm not talking about the holidays, although it comes a close second.
I'm talking about…football season!
 |
| So excited. So. Excited! |
But it hasn't been all peaches and roses. This is a totally different team from the one we have gotten used to over the past 3 years. Brand new leadership with new head coach Gary Kubiak and new coordinators on both offense and defense. The offense looks very shaky with Kubiak's game scheme, while the defense is outstanding and tough this year. Peyton has started out the year struggling, showing his age and some weakness in his throws.
And yet, amid all of the struggles and doubt with this new Broncos team, we have already played 2 brutally tough games in a span of 5 days and emerged winners in both nail biters. Starting the season 2-0 with how we've been playing is a miracle and I'll take it! But as Papa Dave told me, we want them to be peaking come playoffs, and not the other way around. As long as Manning is at the helm, I'm sure everything will be okay.

Quotes:
- Sabbath morning, I was checking the forecast on the Weather Channel app on my phone:
Maddy: "Daddy, what are you doing?"
Me: "Looking at the weather."
Maddy: "Well…" [opening up the blinds in our bedroom]
"You can just look outside and see the weather!"
Good point!
- Kohlden and Braelyn were talking about her homework on states:
Brae: "Tomorrow I'm going to learn about New Hampshire."
Kohl: "I know what that is."
Brae: "No you don't."
Kohl: "Yeah, it's a hamster."
Um…
- Braelyn was showing me some pictures from one of her flyers from school:
Kohl: "Who's that?"
Brae: "That? That's God."
Kohl: "Scott? Like Scott McKenzie?" (Local radio personality
that had recently passed away)
Brae: "No…God."
Kohl: "Oh…you mean Jesus."
