Family Fun at KSU

Football season has arrived!  We headed up to K-State for the first home football game - most of us excitedly, but one, rather reluctantly (Cambry wasn't thrilled with the idea).  Thanks to the Jr. Wildcat Club that Caiden belongs to, we had pretty decent seats for a really great price.  It was warm - very warm!  But that didn't stop Delaney from cheering with her pompoms the ENTIRE game.  Seriously, she only sat down for about 30-45 minutes of the almost 4 hour game.  It was quite something!

Our own little tailgate before heading to the stadium!
Watching the warm-up

For four years, we've been watching Weston Hiebert, our hometown guy, play for the Wildcats.  He went from walking on as a freshman and getting gray-shirted, to suiting up and standing on the sidelines at home games, to making it into a game 2 years ago and starting every game ever since.  Now, in his fifth year, he is one of 6 captains on the team.  Talk about dedication and hard work!  He was featured on the tickets for this game and on the program.  It was so cool to see Goessel, KS printed under his name!  We're definitely going to miss watching him play next year.

Classic stance!

A new high five - the "claw five"

Delaney found a new cheerleading friend!
  All in all, a fun night - with fireworks to top it all off!  Thank you, football season, for arriving!

Surprise!

Well, I sure don't get surprised very often, but Saturday night was a huge surprise to me! I thought I was heading to Hesston for an AGCO Christmas Dinner with Chelan. He told me we needed to drop something off at Ben and Tina's house (my cousin), first. Okay, no big deal! While we were there, Ben said they were about ready to go out for dinner, did we want to come along? Surprisingly, Chelan thought about it and wanted to do it (clue #1 that something was up). I kept saying that we couldn't skip out on his dinner, but Chelan insisted that going to Wichita for dinner would be much more fun. I even said, "This seems like something you had planned!" However, I'm always up for dinner in Wichita, so I agreed, reluctantly!! We enjoyed a meal at Hangar 1 Steakhouse and I thought that was the end of it. But, on the way home, Chelan asked if we could go by the new arena since the inaugural concert was there that night -- Brad Paisley! I thought it would be f...

Spring Art

While Mrs. Schmidt was away on maternity leave during the spring, Mr. Novak (from Hesston) filled in for her. Since Cambry has her first 3 class periods in the art room, she got to know him very well and he mentioned several times how he appreciated Cambry's artistic style and way of thinking. He even let her paint a little bit on his own pieces! Cambry took several pieces to the WSL art festival in April. She came home with a first place finish in the graphic design category and an honorable mention in the computer design category. We are so thankful for the instruction she has received over the last 4 years in Goessel. Now, on to Hesston College with Professor Cross!

Choosing Trust Over Fear

I have struggled with writing about the shooting in Hesston - in fact, I wasn't going to post anything about it.  However, for the sake of memories, I decided I should at least touch on it.  It does deserve a place. It just hit so close to home - particularly since Doug was directly involved.  Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty for struggling with this tragedy.  I wasn't there, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and, although I know a few people who work there, I didn't know any of the victims.  And I get to move on with my life with little disruption.  I feel like I am on the outside looking in.   But I guess that's okay.  I didn't have to be directly involved for this to touch me.  My heart is sad for the families of those who died, for those who were injured, for those who witnessed it, for my brother-in-law who will probably replay images over and over, for my sister and my niece and nephew who might sometimes wonder "what if?", for th...
