Ok, here’s the story on Eric.
My husband coaches high school boys volleyball here in Houston for HVA (and has been doing it for years!) When he and I first started dating nearly 10 1/2 yrs ago his team was well on their way to whoopin’ some serious tail at Nationals the following year (which they did…finishing 3rd in the country!) Anyway, Eric was one of the players on that team.
From the first time I saw Eric I dubbed him “Abercrombie” The hair, his personality, how freakn’ tall he is!……everything just screamed it to me. Well in 2002 he graduated high school, went off to play volleyball out of state and then off to play in the European circuit. Last summer he and my husband played in a couple beach tournaments together (you may recall some pictures I posted of the guys last year on the old blog). Anyway….l told Eric then that I just had to take pictures of him. Unfortunately, last summer came and went and no pictures ever took place, so when he came home this year I wasn’t letting his butt leave the states without victimizing him first!!
It’s no surprise that we waited until the last minute to take these pictures (just 3 days before he leaves for Finland) but I’m just STOKED that we finally got to do it! The hubs and the kiddos got to tag along for the fun. We had a great time!
Eric,
Thank you my love! You were a great sport and these turned out so much better than I could have hoped. I hope you, your momma and your beautiful Maria love ‘em! Best of luck to you with the new team and we can’t wait to see you when you come home for Christmas. Maybe we’ll do some cold weather photos…(in that stunning African shirt and leopard, eh-hem, bottoms of course
)
We love you and are very excited for what Finland has in store for you!
ox,
Andy, Amber & the gremlins
Ladies and gents….meet the newest setter for Finland’s mens professional volleyball team! Eeeeeeric!
