January 1, 2009 marks the beginning of a new era at Iowa Lakes Community College and the northwest Iowa area as we bring college soccer to the area.
But, January 1st always marks a special day for the Farley family as we celebrate the birth of a very special person who has had a very special place in many peoples hearts...my Mother.
Jo Nell ("Jody") Farley was born on the first day of the year in the year....well, she likes to keep that private. But, it is no surprise to me that such a beautiful person was brought into the world on the first day of that year.
I know that my twin brother, both of my sisters, and I, could never put into words what a special person she is and what a tremendous impact she has made on all of our lives. Much of the things that I bring to the student-athletes that I teach come from my Mother somehow and I appreciate who she is as a person. I can never thank her enough for being such a wonderful person.
I look forward to 2009 and will talk about that more in my next blog. But, for now, I would like to say a few days early....Happy Birthday Mom! Thank you for who you are and for teaching me to become the person that I am today. I love you a ton!

Happy Birthday to Coach Farley’s Mom! Your success as a parent is evident in Kevin’s character; the unconditional love of a mom is stronger than any educational experience. And what a joy to hear of your good health, you were continually in my prayers as you battled to become well.
Have a Very Blessed New Year!
