About Me

Dear friends, We began this blog in the summer of 2012 when our family was called to step "out" of our "normal" life as we lived it in Carrollton Texas and serve for 3 months at Housesofhope.org orphanage in Zacapa, Guatemala. A simple blog for our friends and family to stay in touch during our short journey. Since that season we have decided we will use this as a means to continue to log our journey, share our stories and create a platform to champion what inspires us. We hope you enjoy and pray that you are encouraged into action and deeper reflection on family and faith.

Davids Hockey Decade

 Hello, friends, family, and readers of our blog!!

     I am David the 3rd child. I am here to talk to y'all about my hockey career so far.
 I am 14 years old and I play 14u bantam major AA hockey, the name of my team is the Dallas Junior Hockey Association Penguins

  I started off my hockey career with 1 year of learn to skate classes. After that I moved to 1 year of mini mites and I played 3 years of mites. When I was old enough, I tried out for my first select team, the Dallas junior stars. I played 2 years of A level squirts for them. I moved up onto a better team for my PeeWee years and played for the Dallas penguins A & AA level. I played for the Dallas Stars Elite AAA for my bantam minor year and now I am back on the penguins AA for bantam major. If you have not been counting that brings us to a grand total of ten years playing the wonderful sport of hockey. Two years ago, i had a set back in my development, it was my second year of playing for the penguins just 1 month after practices started and we hadn't even had our first game when I contracted bacterial meningitis. I had to spend a week in the childrens medical center of Dallas getting treatment. it took over a month to recover and I ended up loosing 15lbs and missed Sep through December which is alot of the season. But now I am doing great and I am healthy as ever. This year will be interesting,  I am going to a public-charter school this year called ischool high with 7 other of my friends and we will all be freshmen in high school this year. We are going to go to our classes from 8:00 to 12:45 then we will leave straight from there to a hockey academy where we will play hockey from 1:30 to 4:00 we will do this 4 days a week and on top of that we will have team practices and games. I will also play highschool JV for the Denton County Spartans with my little brother James.  It will be the  first time ever that me and James will play on a hockey team together so me and him are super excited. I hope you enjoyed my story of my first decade of my favorite thing...hockey!
