Hosting....

We've been hosting another soccer coach from the UK for Challenger Sports and it's been another great distraction from the 2 week wait and the not making it through the 2 week wait.

Lukas was our coach this time and as fate would have it....he knew Roisin and Ben (the coaches we hosted 2 weeks ago).

Turns out....Lukas was the source of all the "Dave is SO dangerous..." jokes that Roisin could not stop herself from making every couple of hours.  ; )  It was quite funny having the creator of the jokes staying with us.

Because we wanted to be sure Lukas had a good time, we hosted and organized a few gatherings throughout the week.  And that made me realize something...

I really enjoy hosting.

Not just soccer coaches from the UK....everyone.  I really enjoy being a hostess.

Having people over at our house, making sure they have everything they need, providing a place, company, etc. for people that I care about...it feels wonderful!  Granted...there is sometimes a bit of a mess to clean up after..and sometimes it can be a little stressful.....but it's absolutely worth it.

Here are a few of my favorite snapshots of our time with Coach Lukas...in no particular order...
