For the last two months or so, Aaron has been playing men's league softball on Tuesday nights with Becca's husband Garet.
We have both enjoyed going out there. Aaron gets to play softball and be a competitive boy and I get to visit with my bff and her two precious boys. It really has become one of my favorite nights of the week.
Last week they had their final games. It started at 8 with a semifinal. They were losing by quite a few runs and time was running out. Becca and I weren't too upset as that meant that we would get to go home and get to bed soon. Of course, the boys had other plans. They made a big comeback in their last inning at bat and ended up winning! So then, they got to play at 9 in the championship. Becca and her boys had to go home as they were getting tired. I was left alone to cheer our men on.
Again, things did not look good for them going into the final inning, but they somehow pulled it out and won. Garet even scored the winning run :)
Here is a pic of the championship team!
While I will miss getting to watch Aaron play and be a stud, I will mostly miss hanging out and visiting with Becca....I have sooooo enjoyed her being here in Dallas and getting to hang out. Now we will just have to come up with other reasons to get together. But I will REALLY miss seeing this cute little face and hearing about all of his adventures :)
Love my Carson buddy!
They say the first step to recovery is admittance.
I will admit, I am a worry wart.
Wow, I feel better already :)
I have always been a worrier. But I love that the sermon at church yesterday felt like it was directed straight to me. Funny how God does that.
Lately I have been stressed about lots of things. Personal, professional, important, silly. Just worrying.
We had a guest preacher at church yesterday. He came in to lead a revival that the senior adults are having. His name is Dr. Jimmy Draper. He has more degrees than my whole family combined, I think. He is an old school pastor who just gives it to you straight. Exactly what I needed :)
His main point was - Live for today.
You can't change the past. You can't control the future. Just live today. That's all we are promised.
I can rest assured that God is in control and is going to take care of me. So I don't need to worry about it.
Plain and simple.
A few weekends ago I went to Abilene for a 7 on 7 soccer tournament. Every year the HSU girls team has this tournament as a fundraiser and a chance for the girls to play soccer. That evening after the tournament is over, they have their ring ceremony. Because of course, they win conference every year and get rings :)
Anyways, this year there was an alumni team in the tournament and Becca and I decided to go play. I am sad to admit that we were the oldest girls there. Luckily, we had enough alumni to do 5 minute rotations! I never got too tired, but got to play enough to make the trip worth it. We won our first game, tied the second and lost our last 2 by one goal each. Not too bad for a bunch of out of shape girls!
I had such a good time seeing so many of the girls I used to play with and catching up with them. It's crazy, but most of us live in the Metroplex, yet we have to drive to Abilene to see each other. Oh well, it was a good time. And I even scored a goal in one of our games!
Here is a pic of the alumni team - appropriately named Too Legit To Quit - and a pic of all of the current players with the alumni.
Other than getting to play soccer and seeing old friends, I was so excited to eat and see some family! As crazy as it might sound, I miss Abilene sometimes. I was really looking forward to eating at some of the places we used to eat at all the time. While we weren't able to make it to all of them, we did have Little Panda (chinese food) for lunch after the tournament and La Popular for breakfast burritos on Sunday morning. We also had dinner with my aunt and uncle and cousins who took such good care of us all in college. I was a happy girl :)
And of course, I got to spend the weekend with my bestie and her family. Thats where I met her and her parents. Such good memories! We also got to introduce my favorite little boy, Carson, to some of our favorite things!
Here's until our next trip to Good 'ol Abilene :)
