Wasn't sure where to post all of this but thought you all might enjoy it. thanks to all of you who have prayed for us 
Hello Everyone - much is happening here so I thought I would update you all.
1st - Austin has signed a contract to play in Windsor wit the OHL Windsor Spitfires. He will be paid a small amount, billet (live with) a family in Windsor, attend St. Annes there, and play hockey. If he is still there during college it will be paid by the OHL and he will continue to playing Windsor. It is very exciting and will be a challenge to him while helping him to develop for the next level. You will find the links needed following to read about the signing and see the photos.
Here is the Windsor Star link:

Now here is the link for the Spitfires website - on the left hand side you will see the link to Watson signs....and Austin Watson press conference photos. You just click on them.

We will be close to Austin, our family, and our friends. We are very happy and so is Austin - of course:)

Oh my goodness!!! Windsor is our hometown! I met and married dh there (he was born and raised there) and we lived there for 9 years, most of our dc were born there. Sadly we had to move to Alberta (Oil Patch) to find work. Windsor/Detroit have been seriously affected by the economy and the problems with the Big 3.
Is it St Anne's in Windsor/Walkerville or St Anne's in Tecumseh?
Thanks for the memories, sometimes we get so homesick, we visit with the Windsor Star, and see some sights.
P.S. Dh still wears a Windsor Spitfires hat to work.

Mary--are you going to Lourdes? May I ask you to take some prayers for me, too?
If you say no, that's fine--I *do* understand...

Rebecca - I believe St. Annes in Tecumseh. His billet family is in Tecumseh and all the boys on the team go to St. Annes. I guess it is brand new ( the building) - only a year old. He is very excited.

Wow St Anne's is only a year old or the Windsor Arena??? St Anne's is a historical site. So I wonder if they built a new church and where? FYI Gilligan's is a wonderful restaurant in Tecumseh, and there's also one in Walkerville (Windsor).
We are so out of touch. It is a very safe city. We lived in the West end for 7 years and never had any issues. We miss it.

Rebecca - I must be wrong and it is St. Anne's in Windsor because the school building was just built a year ago.
they are also building a new arena that will be done in November. It will hold 6500 people - it is very nice!
