Hello buddies and comfortable Monday! I hope you had a very nice weekend. Ours was a little bit of a whirlwind however numerous 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 children 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 identical time (completely different parks). I bought to go together with Hailey and he or she ended up getting an help by kicking an awesome nook shot! It was HOT however a lot enjoyable to observe 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 occasions an excessive amount of as a result of it meant we have been capable of make a fast street journey to Virginia Tech occur!
My niece is attending VT and so they had an enormous nighttime sport versus Vanderbilt, the place my nephew goes. David’s dad and mom deliberate on going, too, and provided us 4 seats. We’ve been desirous to take the ladies to a school soccer sport, so between the soccer sport occasions, the generously provided 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 bought an awesome strolling tour from Mema and Grandpa earlier than breaking off to satisfy up with a few of our pricey buddies from again in Mooresville that occur to be on the sport, too. We noticed the gamers strolling in, bought an image with The Hokie Chook, high-fived the band gamers, and actually bought to expertise the complete tailgating ambiance on a stupendous afternoon and night.
.
Our seats have been about as excessive up as you might 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 bought rained on as soon as. We lucked out!
I used to be thrilled once we bought to satisfy up with my niece for a bit. Being the primary sport day on the 12 months, I had very low expectations of seeing her, but it surely labored out and I used to be thrilled. She appears to be thriving at VT and says there are such a lot of good individuals on the gorgeous campus. See the individuals you like dwelling their finest lives is just the perfect.

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 wakened 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 observe and grocery buying.
I loved cheering on the Packers to an awesome win whereas I made dinner, then I let the chickens out to free vary for a bit. I’m nonetheless fearful about predators, however suppose it’s so cool how in the event 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 must deal with the rooster scenario in some unspecified time in the future. Sticking my head within the sand is a strong technique, proper?
.
And in the present day we hit the bottom operating. I’m giving Finley an extended morning stroll as a result of in the present day she is 4! Then it’s college work with the children, making a reel for a partnership (which I haven’t completed in endlessly however how does one say no to pimento cheese?!), just a little power coaching, and if there’s time, selecting the remainder of the peppers and cucumbers for the backyard for just a little pickling. Lofty objectives for a Monday, however I’ll see what I can do.
Thanks a lot for stopping by in the present day and I hope you have got a stunning begin to the brand new week. Let’s make it a great one! <3
