I'm a coach's wife, telling a story the best I know how. It's important and I want to get it right! Jump on the train quick for the Temple Wildcats are gathering steam! Their destination is unknown but their desire is for greatness. Prayerfully join us as God unfolds a new chapter. They've all been good but I won't be surprised if He's saved the best for last!

Temple Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet

IMG_4675IMG_4676IMG_4681



Last night Coach and I attended the 2012 Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet. Dr. Robin Battershell invited us to sit at the TISD table along with Steve Prentiss, Chuck and Julie Haag. We visited over a lovely dinner discussing the realignment of the district and a variety of other topics. Mayborn center is a great facility and black drapes and ballroom lighting created an attractive and dramatic backdrop for the inspirational speaker which Coach and I enjoyed! Many awards were given to acknowledge outstanding community members.

I wish you could have seen Coach’s face when he received one as well! How nice of the Temple Chamber of Commerce…..and I must say how deserving. In all of my life, I have never known a more kind hearted, positive, invested, humble, hard working, well intentional, determined, down-right good man! He quietly inspires those around him. Setting the pace to excellence

After living here for one year I am pleased to report that Coach and I have never lived anywhere that we liked more than Temple, Texas. Thank you all for the warm embrace. We feel so at home.
