I didn't miss a single Avs game on TV this entire season. (although many were an hour or two behind because I am unwilling to sacrifice my time with Keira in the evening because a game is on) Even though missing the playoffs by a single win or two is a bummer, Hockey has helped to keep me sane while my wife is away saving the world. I couldn't be prouder of Crystal but it leaves me with a lot of time to myself in the evenings. Watching the Avs play several nights a week has helped get me out of my head as I spend night after night alone after Keira goes to bed. (Shout out to my buddy Cameron Wells who came over for a bunch of games just so I wasn't always alone. He is the definition of a great friend.) I think this is similar with life. I truly try my best every single day both at work and at home to be the best person/employee/daddy I can be. I may not score a goal every day but I will be damned if I am not trying my best to get on that scoreboard. I am not the type of person who expects nothing less than a championship to be a successful season. It's more about improving. Am I a better team today than I was at the end of last season? If my answer is yes, than it has been a successful season. "Operation: Single Dad" has a little less than 2 months left and I definitely think our team (Keira and I) are prepared to finish the season strong. Keira has been a warrior as unbelievably tough throughout the last 4 months. She is our teams MVP and the whenever the next season starts and Mommy's duty calls, I know now that we are a force to be reckoned with. Thank you friends for all your support. It truly means more than I can express.
Very cool blog post babe
