    Poopsie got a scholarship!

    I could post this on viewfinder, but this is where it all started for me and my core group of PR friends hang out. Hope it's ok to post here.

    Just wanted to update you all. Brendan got an athletic scholarship to play football. He signed his LOI a couple of weeks ago. I'm so dang proud of this kid and I just wanted to share that with my sports buddies.

    This pic is of Tyler, Matt & Brendan. All 3 were 3 year starters on the o-line and heavily recruited. They are 3 of 6 kids out of our school district to get scholarships and the only football players.

    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Thats great news! It has to make a parent proud as well as validate all the hard work these kids put into their sport. Congrats!

    lol, glad it's your food bill and not mine! These two dogs eat enough and it would take a lot to feed someone able to squat 500#'s....

    I'm willing to lay a lot of money down that says you eat just as much as him.

    What did you have for dinner tonight? ;)

    Re: Poopsie got a scholarship!

    I'm a bit late on this one but pass a great big congrats to your son for me. It's just outstanding, I know your proud. Maybe he'll be able to get you on the sidelines. That would be cool.
