Tuesday- A VERY long day...Cody was up and out of the out at 7:30 this morning. His dad picked him up and took him to Sloan for his treatments and check up. All went well. I had a good day too and started some actual teaching which felt weird the first time, for sure! But I will be ok once I am on my own which is tomorrow.

Cody got home and changed into his jeans and we headed to the high school for a party with the soccer team and then for the long awards ceremony. The party/dinner was great with the coach giving out some silly awards. It was cute. Then into the auditorium for the awards ceremony. I was surprised. Cody was called up with all the athletes for the athletic scholars pins for a high grade point average. The coaches went up and again , I was surprised that Cody got the coaches award with Carcone saying, "he is my inspiration and I know he is yours". That was awesome. He then announced that Cody will be getting the Suffolk County Courage Award from a military guy. Here is the info about it. Capt. Fyfe will be there to give out the award. Cody sat with his coach and he told him about it. Cody immediately got in the car and called Casey to tell him about it. This dinner is on Monday. It will be nice. It was a great night but I am beat!!

The Suffolk County Soccer Coaches Association recently named their "Courage" Awards

after Cpt. Alex Fyfe. Alex Fyfe graduated from Rocky Point High School and the U.S.
Military Academy at West Point. While in High School Alex played three varsity season
collected All-County honors in his junior and senior years. He received All-State honors in
1995. His efforts to bring peace in Iraq through soccer equipment and supplies was a
complete success. Soccer people from Suffolk County and around the world sent soccer
supplies that Alex handed out to the children of northern Iraq.
