Coupeville Sports

The Christensen clan, radiating pure awesomeness.

Best wishes for a fast recovery to former Coupeville High School cheerleader, Miriam’s Espresso barista and one of the nicest people in the world, Shawn (Evrard) Christensen, who emerged from an operating room mere hours ago.

The irrepressible one, wife to CHS grad Billy Christensen and mom to two adorable daughters, had her biceps tendon detached and reattached, a honkin’ bone spur removed and much general cleanup. All hope that this eases what apparently has been the cause of much pain.

In one of those weird coincidences, I sent Shawn a message on Facebook yesterday. It was the birthday of her sister-in-law, Jodi (Christensen) Crimmins, a former Wolf hoops star, Miriam’s barista and one of Shawn’s few rivals for Most Awesome Person in the Universe.

I had a few minutes to kill, the idea suddenly hit me and I sent Shawn a message reminding her of how awesome she was. Little did I know she would be in surgery less than 24 hours later, or I might have said something more profound.

And now, here I am using my sparkling new web site to say what could be said in a Facebook message. And why not? It’s my site and I’ll do whatever the heck I feel like around here.

So, to the whole Christensen/Crimmins clan, one big group “You’re awesome!” and to Shawn, “Glad to hear you’re OK.”
