From his first day in Kindergarten to his first day of Senior year in what felt like the blink of an eye. Time really should slow down. Praying for a great year of learning, growing, and making memories! I guess the countdown to graduation is officially on.
From 1 to 18...One photo. Every birthday. Every year filled with memories I will treasure forever.
No matter how many birthdays come and go, I'll always see the little boy in these pictures and the incredible young man you've become. Watching you grow has been the greatest privilege of my life. Your kindness, strength, humor, and heart make me so proud every single day. Keep following God and living out your dreams!
We love you BIG Colby Chance!! Happy 18th Birthday!!
A few months ago, Brody decided he wanted to run a half marathon. I have to admit I was a little nervous for him to do this, considering he was only a year out from his Lisfranc injury, which kept him completely non weight bearing for several months. If you know Brody, though, you know that wasn't going to stop him. When he sets his mind to something, he goes all in. He created a training schedule and stuck with it. He planned his long runs around work, extreme heat, and other commitments. His hard work and consistency paid off on race day. He met his very strong goal of 1:30, finishing 1:30:53! 2nd in his age group and 5th overall! We are so proud of you Brody!! I love seeing your passion for health and fitness continue to grow and develop, and I can't wait to see what's next for you.
I also love that you ran for Gacky! He loved running and fitness too, and I know he is so proud of you!
I'm not sure I can think of a better award for Colby than the Mental Toughness Award. This kid has had an extremely tough last two seasons of soccer. He had his pacemaker surgery right before sophomore year and got cleared to play halfway through the season. Then, last year, he dealt with pacing issues on and off all season and ended up missing the state tournament due to another pacemaker surgery. Through it all, though, he clung to his faith and stayed strong for himself and for his teammates. We are so proud of you Colby! We can't wait to cheer you on for one more season of soccer!!
