Homecoming

Filed Under: Life in North Dakota Tagged With: prairie life, rural life, small town sports Leave a Comment

With conflicting team calendars, our school decided to move up Homecoming this year. We are celebrating this week instead of later in the fall and I am writing about it in my weekly column, published online here this coming Saturday, September 12 or for those you getting the print version of Agweek, find it in your mailbox. Since it is our son’s senior year, I am trying to get back into blogging those big moments I want to remember. For the past few years I went away from sharing them here for no other reason than time. I wanted to live in the moment and not spend hours documenting the moments of parenting. Plus if you have ever heard me speak you know I have a social media rule: I don’t share a lot about my teenager in social media. 

It’s on purpose. Being a teenager is difficult enough without your mom sharing the highs and the lows. I am grateful my mom didn’t blog my high school years! It would have been an eventful drama production. What you see in social media about Hunter is a highlight reel. Here’s a Homecoming highlight reel of coronation this week.

They know it’s their last year together and I think are taking it all in as seniors. Special moments and memories to remember. 

Friday afternoon is the Homecoming parade before the big game. I’ll hopefully hear the band, grades 7-12 marching and practicing today and will throw open the windows to listen and remember back to five years ago when junior high boy looked up at me from his trumpet.

We can’t go back to that parade so we will cherish this week of small-town homecoming festivities and love the final year of Hunter in high school.

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
