Life is getting into a pretty good routine. Soccer for Jordan, nothing for me, skating with friends for Devan. It's almost like we are in Oregon. Except, oh yeah, I'm unemployed. My recruiter at Robert Half is working very hard to find me a job. She totally likes me which is a huge plus.
As much as we like it here, Jordan is having a hard time making friends. I expected this but she and I were both hoping that soccer would give her an in and some friendships. It hasn't really happened. The soccer team doesn't hang out together much. She is having fun on the team and she is improving but she is disappointed in how it has turned out. Her coach doesn't pay much attention to the JV players and although her coach is fun and really nice, she doesn't have good control over the team and the girls like her but don't respect her. The amount of talent on this team should make them unbeatable. Jordan would like to see more reward for working hard at practice as well as in the game. If you don't work hard in practice, you shouldn't see unlimited playing time and if you aren't working hard all throughout the game, you should be taken out. There are a few players who will decide they are tired and will basically give up but yet they stay on the field. This frustrates Jordan! The coach doesn't want to get the girls mad at her so the girls end up doing whatever they want knowing there isn't going to be any punishment. With how important soccer is to Jordan, and if school doesn't improve by the end of the year, we are considering moving to another district here in Franklin. The school is bigger but is still an amazing school. Devan is okay with this idea because many of his friends from middle school will be going there next year. It's a wait and see sort of situation.
Well, whatever we do for a home, we want to make sure we get something with a fence to keep the cats in and safe. If no fence, we'll get a cat door. I know Einstein will have lots of fun chasing the critters - grasshoppers, cicadas, squirrels, possibly even the rabbits.
