Hello mates and pleased Monday! I hope you had a very nice weekend. Ours was a little bit of a whirlwind however plenty of enjoyable. We kicked issues off on Friday with a neighborhood hangout. It’s a standing set gathering for whoever could make it on the primary Friday of each month. It’s very nice to get an opportunity to meet up with neighbors I won’t see as typically, the youngsters like to run round and play, and we lucked out with some very nice climate.
Saturday we have been up and out early. Each women had soccer video games on the similar time (totally different parks). I acquired to go together with Hailey and she or he ended up getting an help by kicking an important nook shot! It was HOT however a lot enjoyable to look at her on the market.
As a lot as I don’t love having to divide and conquer with sports activities, I didn’t thoughts the sport instances an excessive amount of as a result of it meant we have been in a position to make a fast street journey to Virginia Tech occur!
My niece is attending VT they usually had an enormous nighttime recreation versus Vanderbilt, the place my nephew goes. David’s dad and mom deliberate on going, too, and supplied us 4 seats. We’ve been eager to take the ladies to a school soccer recreation, so between the soccer recreation instances, the generously supplied tickets, and reserving a final minute resort with bank card factors, we made it occur!
It’s a few 4 hour drive from Greenville, so after the video games we headed north. We went straight to the resort for some speedy showers, then onto campus. We have been parked and able to discover by 4:00. Not too shabby!
We acquired an important strolling tour from Mema and Grandpa earlier than breaking off to fulfill up with a few of our expensive mates from again in Mooresville that occur to be on the recreation, too. We noticed the gamers strolling in, acquired an image with The Hokie Hen, high-fived the band gamers, and actually acquired to expertise the total tailgating environment on an attractive afternoon and night.

Our seats have been about as excessive up as you could be which was really fairly superior. It made the flyover extra dramatic, gave us loads of room to unfold out, and ended up offering an epic view of the sundown. Rain threatened us on and off all afternoon and night however we by no means acquired rained on as soon as. We lucked out!
I used to be thrilled once we acquired to fulfill up with my niece for a bit. Being the primary recreation day on the 12 months, I had very low expectations of seeing her, however it labored out and I used to be thrilled. She appears to be thriving at VT and says there are such a lot of good folks on the gorgeous campus. See the folks you’re keen on residing their finest lives is solely one of the best.

We ate hotdogs and ice cream, cheered our lungs out, and left late within the 4th quarter when Vandy began their complete domination. All of us slept like logs and I laughed within the morning once we awoke at how nobody’s sheets had appeared to wrinkle a bit; like all of us simply laid down in our spots and didn’t transfer till morning.
We had a very nice breakfast with Mema and Grandpa then headed again south in time for soccer apply and grocery buying.
I loved cheering on the Packers to an important win whereas I made dinner, then I let the chickens out to free vary for a bit. I’m nonetheless apprehensive about predators, however assume it’s so cool how should you allow them to out an hour earlier than sundown, they’ll naturally return to homebase and put themselves to mattress within the coop because it will get darkish out. Nature is so cool. And I’m nonetheless 90% in denial that I’ll should deal with the rooster scenario in some unspecified time in the future. Sticking my head within the sand is a stable technique, proper?

And right this moment we hit the bottom working. I’m giving Finley an extended morning stroll as a result of right this moment she is 4! Then it’s college work with the youngsters, making a reel for a partnership (which I haven’t carried out in ceaselessly however how does one say no to pimento cheese?!), somewhat power coaching, and if there’s time, selecting the remainder of the peppers and cucumbers for the backyard for somewhat pickling. Lofty objectives for a Monday, however I’ll see what I can do.
Thanks a lot for stopping by right this moment and I hope you might have a stunning begin to the brand new week. Let’s make it a superb one!
