False Advertising

Follow up to my last post. Funny now, but maybe not so funny to Anna at the time. I used a pic that NAU Athletics posted featuring Anna advertising the games in Milwaukee that weekend. The next day Anna found out she didn't make the travel squad. She was upset for a bit, but understands that's part of playing Division 1 college soccer. Well if that wasn't a kick in the pants the next day this was posted.  

 It's GAME DAY FOR @agoebel13 and the @nauwomen's soccer team!

Well it wasn't game day for Anna because she wasn't there, but so proud of that girl! She took it like a champ and cheered on her girls that night! NAU Strong!

*In a side note they lost that game to Marquette, but rallied on Sunday with a win over Loyola.

Go Jacks!

That's Anna!  #13 and a forward at NAU! Good luck in Wisconsin Jacks!

Getting Old Sucks!

They say that when you get old the first things to go are the eyes. That explains the stash of dollar store glasses I have everywhere. The next thing has to be the mind. That's the only explanation for why I found myself in the men's restroom at Walmart yesterday. I didn't even realize I was in the men's restroom until I went to wash my hands in the sink that was located right next to the urinals. Crap! Thankfully they were not occupied at the time. I tried to escape without being detected, but I wasn't so lucky. "Daddy why is that lady in the men's room?" I just put my head down and kept walking!

Christmas List

It probably seems like a weird thing for a teenager to put on their Christmas list. But for a girl who asks for a metal detector for her 16th birthday and a charcoal gray mini van for graduation, a Dashboard Jesus isn't really so random. And thanks to Aunt Amy and Amazon Prime....that's pretty much how this whole thing got started.

There are three of us in this cute little family. First there is me, Stacy, aka....Mom who is discovering a new kind of life as a 40ish something single, empty nester.

We are a house divided as both girls play college soccer at rival schools. Anna is #13 at Northern Arizona University (Go Jacks!), who loves to play the guitar and knit sweaters for her turtle, Fat Shelly.

Kayla, plays at Eastern Washington University (Go Eags!), has a healing leg, thinks she's a comedian and is the most random (but fun) person you will ever meet.

This blog is my way of journaling the girls lives because basically I suck at scrapbooking.
Our previous blog thegoebelgirls.blogspot.com, followed A & K as they grew up (way too fast I might add), but we've had a lot of changes in our lives and it was time for a new blog!

Well here's to a new chapter in our lives, a new start for all of us and many new and exciting adventures along the way!!!


*On a side note I do need to point out that the Dashboard Jesus in the picture and on the dashboard of my little red Soul is really DJ #2. Kayla took the original with her to college.
