Journaling Says:
1. THE CONFIDENCE OUR SKATER HAS GAINED
2. WATCHING OUR SKATER DISCOVER HOW MENTALLY STRONG HE TRULY IS.
3. ALL THE FUN MEMORIES MADE ON AND OFF THE ICE
4. ALL THE LAUGHTER
5. THE SCHEDULE CAN BE GRUELING, BUT OUR FAMILY TIME SPENT TRAVELING IS PRICELESS.
6. THE SOUNDS OF SKATES WHEN THE TEAM HITS THE ICE.
7. THE HOT CHOCOLATE
8. SEEING THE GROWTH DESPITE THE TEARS OF WHAT THE SCOREBOARD MAY SHOW.
9. THE SMELL OF HIS HANDS WHEN HE GETS IN THE CAR AFTER A GAME. SURE, ITS NASTY. SMELLS UTTERLY DISGUSTING, BUT WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER IT NEVER FAILED, HE WOULD GET IN THE CAR WAVE HIS HAND(S) IN MY FACE AND SAY HI MOM OR HEY MOM, SMELL THIS.....WITH A BIG OLE GRIN ON HIS FACE AND SPARKLE IN HIS EYE.
10. WHEN YOU CAN STILL SMELL THE HOCKEY BAG IN YOUR CAR TWO DAYS LATER. YEP, THE PUNGENT ODOR MAY BE WEARING OFF AT THAT POINT AND YOUR EYES WATER LESS.....BUT YOU CANT HELP BUT SMILE. THAT IS THE SMELL OF OUR SKATERS HARD WORK, DETERMINATION AND DEDICATION.
(Mom is feeling sentimental with it being the last year of youth hockey. onto JV next year)
Love your page and list Jennifer!!! I love that cluster of photos and title work of your 10 Hockey favorites! I especially love the descriptive references of 9 & 10 as that really reflects how much your Son's playing and accomplishments mean over the years that even though the rememberance of the smell of his hands is not pleasant, it brings fond memories flowing back. Good luck to him as he persues JV next year!!! Love the bg paper and everything about your page including the angled list! Thanks for sharing and playing along with my challenge!
What a fabulous theme for a list! It’s ‘Mom’ sentiments like these that so regularly get missed from our scrapbooking, and yet mean so much. I love the choice of font and the that the list is slightly on the diagonal. The small photos above and ice rink style backing paper are the perfect finishing touches. Love it!
