Our friend Kristen lost her dad last week as did our friend Kari. Another friend got some not so good news about testing the docs have been running. Please pray for all of them.
<<<insert good news here>>>>
Natalie, Robby and I were able to attend Edward's football game on Friday night. Was special because his team (McIntosh) was playing against his alma mater (Northgate) Which of course is where Natalie and Nic attend also. Ed's team came out strong and was winning for most of the game, and then.....well....we won't go there AGAIN....let's just say they lost.
Waking up at 4 a.m. on Saturday morning allowed us to leave by 5. We hit the road to Knoxville, to see the ladies tennis team practice that morning and go to the football game. It was the checkerboard game vs. Florida. Wow what a game and fun time....here's the video highlights of our trip:

We left Knoxville early Sunday morning cuz Edward had football meetings that afternoon. Got home, unpacked, repacked and headed to Florida by 3 p.m. Yes.....crazy...I know! Nic, his dad and I headed south to go get Nic's new jeep. After spending well over a month, we finally found THE ONE! When you see the pic below you will understand why we had to travel south of Daytona to get it, not many of them around.
Signed the papers on Monday, a trip to the beach for pictures and we headed north for home. Yes, this is my life! But I wouldn't trade it, Nic was sooooo excited to get his jeep. Was fun to be around to see it and enjoy the ride home in it.
More good news, Jessica and Jeff had their first baby while we were gone. These two new parents having been waiting a long time for a bundle of joy. And they got one, Caleb was born Sunday evening, he is perfection!
Even more good news, Natalie's foot is feeling alot better since starting the band workouts. Her PT guy....Tab was glad with her progress in strength. She celebrated the news by joining some friends for an Atlanta Hawks game last night. Our Daaa Darling sat first row court side. She was right next to the bench with a private waiter. Must be nice, eh?? ooooo and let's not forget a private TV screen to watch as well. Anyway, it was a very special invitation which she made the most of, enjoying friends, food, drinks and of course a free t-shirt. Talk about spoiled!
Today, she and her brother are already out cruising in the jeep. She has talked him into driving her to her workout in Atlanta this afternoon. She is soooo lucky to have two great brothers!
As for me, I hope I don't see the inside of a vehicle till at least Thursday! But the panic has set in that I will be leaving for Vegas in 9 days. Yikes! I need to get planning my suitcase load. I will be celebrating my birthday while there. Will see Zac Brown Band, Jimmy Buffet, Donny & Marie and Brittney Spears. Hoping to get some great hiking in at Red Rocks or the Old Train Tracks path at Hoover. Some cousins will be there from Texas and some friends that live there will help take up some of my 10 days there as well. 10 DAYS....yes 10....was going to go for a week but after thinking about it, if I fly home on Sunday I have a higher chance to get "bumped" and earn another free ticket. Sooooo since I'm going on this trip due to a free ticket and free hotel stays.....I will try for another free ticket. One I can use once Natalie gets back on the court and we begin to travel again.
Well, let me get to planning! Love and Blessings.....Sherry!
