WARNING: lots of pictures!!!!
Every year WE YA'LL go to the most adorable town of Wheaton, Illinois for FAMILY weekend at Wheaton College to watch my brother Rock play football, celebrate his birthday and go to downtown Chicago.
First thing is chapel held every friday evening before the big game on saturday. this is a time for parents, friends, students and football players to have fellowship, praise God and to pray that He favors the wheaton thunder team (well i made that part up)VB. each chapel a senior must "share" his testimony about how wheaton football has changed their life and a little bit about themselves. We have been waiting 4 years for this and it was worth the wait!!
so this year and this chapel was Rock's turn and we had our custom shirts on to kick off the weekend!!
GO #34
rock did a great job and even had a few laughs in the crowd when he mentioned his parent's rented a house across the street from him last season. YES this is true!!
if you look very closely my parents are down on the track near the middle for senior parent appreciation. i don't know any parent that attended almost every game for the past 4 years. what will they do now that football is over????????????
we lucked out with beautiful weather this game... compared to the past few years we froze our little you know what's off!!!
we got some football action..makes me excited to think that one day my boys will play football and i will be at every one of their games too!!

number 34....you will be deeply missed from all your family fans. we enjoyed listening to your games on the web radio, watching you thru the blurry wheaton website and hearing the updates from your #1 die hard fans, mom and dad. you have accomplished so much not only as football player but as a man.
thank you helmet for protecting my brothers precious head, i know his long hair added extra padding but you helmet kept it together.
my nephews practicing their football skills
