Corbett & Cindy {Cupid’s Crush 2020}

I met Cindy when I was pregnant with my oldest son Corbett. 2 weekends ago the two of them competed in their 3rd Cupid’s Crush (an annual in-house co-ed team competition at my Crossfit). I stood on the sidelines helping with the equipment crew and cheering on all my friends.

It was incredibly cool to watch Cindy and Corbett. I was and am well aware of what a special and abnormal thing it is for my friend to compete in any type of competition with my son as her partner. I love that I have had the opportunity to do life and parent alongside the same people for decades. Corbett has grown up surrounded by strong women like Cindy who push him to be his best – while those same women are pushing theirselves to be their best alongside him. Its just so stinking cool for me to watch my kids with my friends!

I want Cindy’s influence in his life…and her husband Brad’s influence…and their kids influences…and all the other adults and families that are a part of our ‘village’. Walking alongside the same people for so long doesn’t just happen. It takes years of being committed to each other, to the relationships, and to being intentional to make time to get together. Goodness is it worth the effort!
