Green and Yellow??!!??

As many of you probably know, our house is filled with lots of orange and black. And just a few OSU symbols and pictures of Beavers here and there. Matthew and my mom are gi-normous Beaver fans which means that of course the boys, Kylie, and now Mike and I, also have lots of Beaver gear. There is not much yellow and green in our house. At least not together.

But. Maybe that is going to change? Matthew has been getting a few recruiting brochures and items from U of O over the past year and we keep teasing him about how he may have to change colors. Well, yesterday he got a letter from the Oregon Ducks and this was the opening paragraph:

"The University of Oregon Football Department would like to inform you of our sincere interest in you as a potential student-athlete. You have been recognized by our coaching staff as one of the best football players in the country for the class of 2013."

Oh my word. We are all pretty excited around here. I am just so proud of how far Matthew has come and how well he is doing at this point. But, he has 2 more years of high school football left and if he keeps playing the way he is now, I am excited to see what options he will have to pursue his college career and dream of playing football. Congratulations Matthew, you have earned the recognition!!
