Meeting a Legend

We all have that list of dreams and goals that will leave a mark on our life. I know that for my hubby Luke there have been a few moments like these. The day he met me of course is at the top (lol) also the days we welcomed our two boys into our family. But this wonderful man has worked his fingers to the bone to provide for us while I stay home with the boys. It hasn't been easy and I know it takes a lot out of him, but the one thing I can say to you is he has never given up.

 

He has always had a dream to race, it is in his blood. The past four years he has been working, going to school, and building a sprint car, all the while being a great husband and father. Last year marked another one of his moment, he completed his first season in his sprint car and took tenth in points.

 

I could stop there but we recently watched as another moment was playing out in his life.

 

This particular moment was very exciting for our family for one reason alone. This was a generational moment for all the Lucero men. Racing is a passion for the Lucero men, they love everything about it. This particular moment was the Steve Kinser Farwell Tour and my husband had the honor of meeting a legend and driving in this race.

 

 About seven years ago I had no idea who Steve Kinser was or even what a sprint car was. So for those of you who are lost like  I once was I will introduce you.  

 

 

 

Reader this is Steve Kinser (in the black shirt, the handsome man in red is my hubby Luke). Steve Kinser these are the blog readers.

 

Luke has been a fan of this man and sport for his whole life. As his wife it was amazing to watch him visit with this legend while they stood next to the car he has poured himself into. I was watching one of his life moments, normally I have been right in the middle them with him. This different perspective was eye opening to me. Not only am I so thankful for Luke and all he does for us, I now thank him for being my teacher.

 

That evening I learned that you only get to these bucket list moments through working hard and pushing past the opinions of others that say you can't. Keep pushing for your dreams because its in these moments that you see a life being lived to its fullest.

 

 

The racing that weekend was not the best but the memories of dreams come true will never be lost.

Oh and just so you know Luke made sure that Steve was given the ultimate fan treatment, he sent him away with an autographed hero card and a blow pop.
