Just when you think that you have things figured out, life throws you a curve ball. About three weeks ago Tre called me and told me that his head coach at the U wanted to talk to him. He went in for the meeting and coach told Tre that even though they had promised him a scholarship, things had changed and they no longer had one. He also told Tre that they had recruited 8 new players and the amount of time Tre would play was unknown.
Even though Tre has worked his butt off for the last three years, and every time they put him in the game he does the best, they still are taking him for granted. His coach told him "Sometimes you have to be selfish" and so he took their advice and left the Runnin' Utes.
A school in Missouri has been looking at Tre for quite some time and now they are getting their wish. He went on a recruiting trip on Thursday and signed the papers on Friday. He is officially a Southwest Baptist University Bearcat.
He leaves for a summer camp for the month of July and then he will be able to come back for three weeks and then he moves there at the end of August.
I have been dating Tre for the last 6.5 years and we spend a large majority of our time together and so it is going to be a very large adjustment for me to have him that far away.
When Tre first told me that he was considering transferring schools, I cried and cried for three days straight. I'm slowly coming to terms with it, but some days it is still really hard. I am going to miss him so much! When we are together we have so much fun; he dances, sings and teases. He is a kid and makes me one too.
When I tell people that Tre is moving, everyone says, "So what does that mean for your relationship?" Honestly, I don't know. So many things could happen in that amount of time. But what I do know is that if we are supposed to be together, the Lord will provide the way. That fact is what helps me through the tough days.
I just wanted Tre to know that I love him and that I know he is going to be great out there. The Utes are gonna be regretting this decision.

I feel and understand what you where felling, even though I don't see Tre everyday he is my little brother and I still haven't came to terms with it. I cried the first night he called and asked my opinon, and now everytime he calls it comes up in our conversation. Then when I spoke with him on Friday and told me that it was definite it upset me more. Then I realized this is the best thing for him as far a career move. I love you Tre and I can't wait to see you play in Missouri...... Love the blog Rachel and see you guys soon..... Love Y'all!!!!!
For sure, the Utes are going to be sorry that he's leaving. Tre's spirit radiates goodness. He seems like a very hard worker to me.
I'll miss seeing him with you at church. He's been a good example to me of feasting on the word...his eyes light up with interest as the gospel is taught. I think it's easy to lose perspective sometimes and forget how sweet the word is.
Good Luck Tre!!!
