New Coach and Old

Last Saturday I was hired as the new head football coach of Calvin Christian. I am super excited and nervous about it, but I can't wait to get started. This will be our 3rd year overall. We are getting lights this summer and the community is really excited. I love to coach and be involved with the players. I am truly blessed to be 24 and the head coach of 2 sports.

We are currently in the semi finals for CIF in girls basketball. We travel to vincent memorial n tuesday which is 2 hours east to the desert. Playoffs are a great time and we are pumped to make another run at the CIF title. I will keep you posted on how we end up or go to the North county Times to keep up with the team!

Catch Up Time

Well as you can see we have not been on here in a long time...sorry I guess we are really boring or super busy. I will say both. I have been coaching the girls and our regular season in winding down. We have 3 games left and then its on to playoffs. We are 14-6 right now (actually the same record we had last year at this point). So I have been busy with that and school and all the good stuff. Jayne helps me by taking the book every game so that is why there are no pictures ...sorry we will try to get some.

Jayne is working and helping brother Kurt by typing documentaries. This has been her evenings and early mornings as of late. She is becoming quite the typist. Soccer starts for her, but was canceled this week due to crazy California winters, which mean some rain:)

It has been really nice here as of late. 75-80. We had a great but quick visit from mom and dad, which consisted of fly in on thursday night, watch 2 games (unfortunately both loses) on friday and saturday a then back off to Denver on sunday. It was great to have them here even if it was for a little bit. We love having people out here, and it will soon start up again with lots of visitors, so if you are wanting a break from the cold, feel free to get in touch with us. although it has gotten down to 60 a couple of times...

Ps. we did not buy the house. Just in case you were wondering

A Christmas Card

Tis the season... so we decided to follow in the footsteps of our smart sister in law Sarah (whom is our financial advsor as well) to save money and use our blog to let everyone "see" how we are doing out here in Escondido. So enjoy....


Since we did not do a letter last year I will try to update our lives over the past 2 years as quick as I can. We got married almost 1 1/2 ago in Mi then took the trek out through Co and then out to sunny San Diego. We live in Escondido which is about 25 minutes N of Down Town. We are about a 15 minute drive from the beach and is a place we love to go to and relax, try to surf and Jayne loves to take in the sun while reading her inTouch magazines.



Jayne continues to work at Superior Ready Mix, which is a concrete company that is owned by a family of the school I work at. She is involved with HR and Paralegal work, mainly she sues people so watch out :) She has been pursuing her love for interior design by taking classes online at a local community college. Through this she remembered her "love" for school by taking quizzes, doing homework and writing research papers. yuck. But she is doing well in them and learning more about a career that she can hopefully get into someday. She also has helped decorate a friends living room and helped design the conference room at out school, both look very good as they reflect her eye for design. If anyone needs help you know where to go! Jayne continues to be active by walking 3 times a week in the morning and playing soccer on a team from our church and community. It is an indoor league that is outdoors, yes only in California. She is quite good and it is fun to see her get aggressive and mad sometimes.
She loves the weather here and enjoys the fact the 60 degrees is now cold, and can't imagine snow being a part of winter again. In her "spare" time she has been making t shirt quilts so her home ec class skills are coming in handy. She is a wonderful support and rock for me as I am very busy with coaching and teaching. She listens to all of my complaining and deals with all of my planning and prep time. She has been a true coaches wife and has become a fan of all the players and teams I am a part of.


I am in the second year of teaching at Calvin Christian School where I teach 2nd -12th grade PE. It is a blast and I know people give me grief but I love being able to play all day for my Job. It is busy changing from class to class mainly my demeanor from being nice and pleasant voiced "Mr J" with the second graders to an 8th grade boys Pe teacher, you can imagine how I am with them:) I love my job and am blessed to be in a great place where I can teach and be a part of students lives and have an impact on them. I continue to coach football and girls basketball. Coaching is my true passion. Football I am the Varsity D coordinator and JV head coach. We just finished our second year every in football with a 9-2 record and a round 1 playoff win~ we then lost to the #1 seed 76-3 they were good, but it was a great year and a huge difference from last year. The boys are great to be around and see them become football players. I am the varsity girls basketball coach and just started my second year. Last year was a great time as we won the CIF in division 5 and then went on to state and got to the southern conference championship game (semis in the state of Ca) It was so fun and is rewarding to be a part of building a successful program. We are 3-1 thus far and just won our Fastbreak Invitational Tourney that we host. I love the weather here as well and have gotten into surfing. I would love to do it all the time, but being busy with school and all it gets hard to go out. I am still a Broncos fan and love being in first place over the Chargers. I am not a fan of them and think I dislike them even more now that we live is San Diego...My students and I have great conversations and bets about the games :)


Jayne and I are also the HS youth group leaders at our church and enjoy being able to be involved with the lives of the students. We have been blessed to be by brother Kurt who lives in LA and we get to see him often. It is great for Jayne to have family close and a place to go to get away from Escondido. The past year has been full of visitors that we love having at our house. We are also in the process of maybe buying a house! We will keep you all posted on that and would love visitors if you are able.

We have been truly blessed over the last year and thank the Lord that he is in control of all and we are not. He has blessed us with good health, great families, awesome friends new and old, jobs and so much more. We pray that you and your families have a great Christmas and holiday season. We hope that it is a time to relax, reflect, eat good food make memories and laugh and praise the Lord for the birth of His Son.

Happy Holidays from warm California!

Love Jayne and Brad

Our Puppy.....for a day :)

So Jayne and I have been thinking and talking about a puppy and well we had one for a day. A family from our school was looking to get rid of one of their last puppies and their third grade daughter whom I teach in PE was very persistent with her "Mr. J do want a puppy, it was 2000 now its free" so my dutchness took over and we went and saw him. A JAX we called him jax came home with us. We loved him but....Gave him back a day later bc he would just be in his cage all the time. So we gave him back. I guess its good to do now seeing that we could give him back.
Jax was a Bergamasco Sheep Dog see what he would GROW up to be not so cute:) and a breif video of jax stay with us.
