Seven Days Can Change Everything

For real…

Last Saturday we lost a tournament…badly.

This weekend, we won handily. 

And I learned…

:: Leaving earlier than seven pm on a Friday to the beach is dumb.

:: Bad traffic is easier to deal with when you have fun people in the car.

:: Chick fil-A for the win!

:: Staying up till midnight all week doesn't make me a good front seat passenger.

:: Sleeping cold keeps people happy.

:: Having a first round bye is amazing.

:: Summer weather is gorgeous.

:: I can be our teams best girl bunter if I concentrate.

:: My body still performs when it needs too.

:: Our team is resilient. 

:: Winning is fun and so much better than losing. 

:: We win every time we go to VA Beach!!

Smallbackstory: I try to keep it light and happy here, but also keep it real. Last week was a pretty crazy one because there was some turmoil on the team due to all the losing. It got pretty crazy, but there was a 'come to Jesus' moment and hopefully this win will be the first step in the right direction.  Obviously, it's just kickball but when something that's such a big part of your life keeps going wrong, because of stupid choices, it gets to be a bit much. I'm so happy things turned out so well, because there was a huge possibility it was all about to end. 

:: Driving home Saturday night is a long drive but my bed is the best.

:: Sunday mornings come too quickly with early church service.

:: I love our morning grocery dates.

:: Brunch prep is fun and extremely helpful to the family.

:: Homemade brunch trumps going out for Father's day.

:: Our Daddy is bomb dot com.

:: Getting six people to agree on vacation plans is not bomb dot com.

:: Organizing is tricky too.

:: Shopping for trips is super fun.

:: Cereal for dinner on tournament weekends is my favorite. 

:: Husbands like to take naps on the couch.

:: I like to stay up and watch the World Cup.

:: World Cup is better than CWS.

:: Early bedtimes make the weekend wonderful.

:: How was your weekend?

Of course, this post wouldn't be complete without a shout out to Daddy B. I thought I'd share what I posted on FB, since I don't think I could say it any better! He's just the best!

Happy Father's day to my wonderful Daddy! Thanks for always being Mr. Fix-it, Mr. Tech, Mr. Shoulder to Cry On, Mr. Coach, Mr. Sideline Supporter and Mr. I'll Help You with Anything. We've shared some amazing memories, but walking down the aisle and dancing with you at my wedding are two of my favorites! Thank you for being so amazing…and for dancing to N*SYNC in front of everyone. I  you! xoxo, Pookie Bear!
