I was off work Friday (along with John who had been off all
week) as it was our annual day to go to the Memorial Tournament. Every year, the Friday of the Tournament, we
head to a friend’s parents’ house (right on the 18th green) and sit
all afternoon drinking and eating and hanging out with friends. Last year was a blast as our neighbors went
with us and it was a gorgeous day. This
year? Not so much. It was cold (60 degrees, colder at times) and
rainy. We ate lunch (inside), sat
outside a little, and walked the course for about 20 minutes. We, and our neighbors (who came with us
again), actually left early and headed to a local restaurant for drinks and
appetizers…inside where it was warm!
Friday night, we took Josh over to a birthday party. While he was at the party we went and got
John some new shoes. He has decided that
he is going to run the half marathon in the fall and has started training. He wants to run a marathon before he turns
40. I can’t empathize with any of this
because I despise running, but I’m here to cheer him on! Then we dropped Kylie off at Rachel’s for a
sleepover and picked Josh up from his party.
Saturday morning Josh and John headed off to football
practice while I hung out with Ryan and Colton.
I got my garden weeded and just enjoyed the nice, albeit cool,
weather. Suzie was in town (she was
looking for a place to live when she moves just an hour north of us in 30
days!!!) and she and Jarrett came over for a few hours. Jarrett got roped into helping John finish
his garage attic and then washing Suzie’s and my car. After they left, we all went inside as it was
starting to rain. That night Josh had a
baseball game, and judging by the umbrellas and people wrapped in blankets, one
would have thought it was fall out…it was so cold and rainy! Towards the end of the game, I loaded the
kids up in the car and watched from afar.
Sunday morning we had church and then we rushed over to my
niece’s 5th birthday party.
It was gorgeous out! It was great
to hang out with John’s family, but as usual, we couldn’t stay long because we
had to get all the way over to Hilliard for Josh’s football game. They were playing an undefeated team and were
worried, but we ended up beating them 24-0!
The kids were so excited!
When we got home, we all went outside to play for a
while. The kids rode bikes, drove the
jeep (“beep beep” as Colton calls it), jumped on the trampoline and ate peas
from the garden. It was a beautiful
evening followed by a fabulous steak dinner.
Then it was the last Sunday evening of making sure folders were emptied
out and everything needed for school the next day was in the backpacks
(including Josh’s birthday treat which he decided to take in Monday since he
has a summer birthday). We were all
geared up and ready for Monday morning!
