Sandies for Life


A while back I had asked for prayer for our family as me made some major decisions. The life of a coach is always interesting. In December, our head coach at Amarillo High became the district Athletic Director. Eric was hired by Coach Thiessen for his first job as a coach and followed Thiessen here. Along with all of the coaching families on staff, we were concerned about what this would mean for our future with a new head coach coming in. Every time this happens, there are many possible outcomes, some which are great and some that can be devastating. We fell some where in between for several weeks. At the end of this whole hiring process, we are proud and thankful to let everyone know what we are Sandies for life. Eric will be keeping his job at Amarillo High and we plan on staying here indefinitely. I'm trusting God and that He sees the future and that Amarillo is where our girls will flourish. I'm very thankful that I don't have to keep the house picked up and spotless in order to sell it and thankful that we will remain right across the street from Mali's elementary school that she will attend.
