Well, Eric is playing football again! He hasn't played on the field since the Tofa Warriors Semi-Pro team back in 2003, except maybe one or two times with the ward and last Friday night, he had his first game on this new team. He plays on it with a few guys from our ward and was so excited to start again. Mataias and I went with him and Mataias was looking forward to watching his daddy play, so proud. It was funny because he actually got mad at me when I was cheering for someone else and not just for Eric. I told him that we can cheer for the whole team and he said he only wanted to cheer for his dad!
Well, the first game didn't go as well as we hoped, the quarterback had his heart set on only throwing long passes and well, couldn't complete any of them. Before the first half came to an end, the team was supposed to be in a Zone defense but someone else missed their area and there was a guy wide open for the opposing team, so Eric decided he would cover him. Too bad the guy had a 20 yard head start and Eric was just trying to beat the pass there...and SNAP....there went his hamstring!!! Now we are on the road to recovery and giving it a little rest for a couple weeks. Out for 2 games, and then he can try it again, with his #1 fan right there to cheer him on!!!
