The First Texan is Here...

Okay, okay...I know that I have been failing to keep this blog updated very well...but, I will keep trying to get better. It has been a very eventful time this fall with some player already being here and working hard in the classrooms. Many things are beginning to come together. Just in the past week we were able to fill the fitness room up with fitness equipment. Today, I ordered the sound system for the fitness room...so that is really exciting.

The past two weeks has also been very exciting because our first Texas has moved to town and attempting to get him and his family situated by finding a place to live, work, etc. Darrell and his family are off to a great start as they are temporarily renting a lake front house with a beautiful view. I'm sure they wish that they could stay in that place the entire time they are hear...but, it is only temporary until they find something near the Spencer Campus. It is great to have Darrell, Tammy and Alana here in northwest Iowa though.

In other news, the student-athletes that are here will be coaching local youth teams beginning in the next week! It is very exciting to finally have the opportunity to begin giving back to Spencer. Spencer has already welcomed us and made us feel at home...so, it will be nice to give a small example of what it will be like to have soccer in town at Iowa Lakes Community College. There will be much, much more community service in our future!
