The Martinez Family had had a looong, rough week. Personally, I’d barely seen my boys all week between two days at Branson for meetings and three long nights of senior awards, baccalaureate services, school board meetings, and graduation! So on Saturday morning, I woke them up and told them to get dressed because we were […]

And when part of your job is an Athletic Director in charge of two baseball teams and a softball team, that’s not good! I’ve spent most […]
I love Spring: watching new life bloom, feeling the warmer temperatures, and knowing school will soon be out (can I get a woot woot from all my teacher friends)! One thing I don’t look forward to is the dreaded “springing forward” of the clocks! I get why we do it, but man that first week […]
Early one (almost) spring, Sunday morning, I woke up and had an itch to explore someplace new!
