Weekend Recap {Virginia Tech!} – A Wholesome Slice of Life

Hello pals and comfortable Monday! I hope you had a very nice weekend. Ours was a little bit of a whirlwind however loads 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 children like to run round and play, and we lucked out with some very nice climate.

Saturday we had been up and out early. Each women had soccer video games on the identical time (completely different parks). I received to go together with Hailey and she or he ended up getting an help by kicking an amazing 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 had been capable of make a fast highway journey to Virginia Tech occur!

My niece is attending VT and so they 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 occasions, the generously supplied tickets, and reserving a final minute lodge with bank card factors, we made it occur!

It’s a couple of 4 hour drive from Greenville, so after the video games we headed north. We went straight to the lodge for some speedy showers, then onto campus. We had been parked and able to discover by 4:00. Not too shabby!

We received an amazing strolling tour from Mema and Grandpa earlier than breaking off to satisfy up with a few of our pricey pals from again in Mooresville that occur to be on the recreation, too. We noticed the gamers strolling in, received an image with The Hokie Hen, high-fived the band gamers, and actually received to expertise the total tailgating environment on a phenomenal afternoon and night.

.

Our seats had been about as excessive up as you might be which was truly 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 received rained on as soon as. We lucked out!

I used to be thrilled after we received to satisfy up with my niece for a bit. Being the primary recreation 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 folks on the gorgeous campus. See the folks you’re keen on dwelling their finest lives is just the very best.

We ate hotdogs and ice cream, cheered our lungs out, and left late within the 4th quarter when Vandy began their whole domination. All of us slept like logs and I laughed within the morning after 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 procuring.

I loved cheering on the Packers to an amazing win whereas I made dinner, then I let the chickens out to free vary for a bit. I’m nonetheless nervous about predators, however suppose it’s so cool how in case 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 state of affairs in some unspecified time in the future. Sticking my head within the sand is a stable technique, proper?

.

And immediately we hit the bottom operating. I’m giving Finley an extended morning stroll as a result of immediately she is 4! Then it’s faculty 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?!), a bit of power coaching, and if there’s time, choosing the remainder of the peppers and cucumbers for the backyard for a bit of pickling. Lofty objectives for a Monday, however I’ll see what I can do.

Thanks a lot for stopping by immediately and I hope you could have a beautiful begin to the brand new week. Let’s make it one! <3
