Best of 2008

People Magazine does the Best of 2008, so I figured it would only be appropriate for me to do so as well. These are in no particular order... just as they uploaded!

Please also note that the background music is Best of 2008 as well... for one reason or another.

This is me speaking at my last event as Head Coach for Kirkwood. I will miss those girls like crazy... This is also when I received an award as Coach of the Year. 

An amazing night for me for many reasons.
