finish strong friday

Friday's Birthday Season's gifts included a favorite of ours...Final Day of School!!!! We celebrated lunch out at a local pizza place and then ran a few errands. The boys had been given some gift certificates for finishing their books in Awana, so we went to 5 Below and found some treasures. I found a $5 t-shirt that I love...it's in a pic below. After shopping, the boys needed haircuts. It just so happens that the boys' favorite place for haircuts is right next door to The Mix, a local froyo place. Yes, we celebrated again...well, I stopped at Dunkin and bought myself a coconut decaf, the boys had froyo.

After arriving home, it was time to get in my workout for the day. Friday is leg day in P90X. I love leg day. It is actually Legs & Back and Ab Ripper X day. It works up a great sweat and is a whole lot more fun than cardio. {smile}

Before long, it was time to take off for Alex's baseball game. He was the clean up batter (4th in the rotation). The team has been playing so well lately. This game was more of the same. The game was a real barn burner The lead went back and forth until the other team tied us in the top of the ninth. Our boys had to dig in and make something happen with their bats...and they did! Base hits and stolen bases brought about the winning run. It was so amazing to watch! For the night Alex was 1 for 3...striking out twice, but at his third at bat getting a solid 2 RBI base hit. I ♥ my ball player!

home of the Braves

As a metro Atlanta resident, it seems almost a requirement to go to a Braves game to continue living here. I grew up watching baseball and loving the game...and have been to a few games in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit...and of course, Atlanta. The problem for me going to a Braves game is purely mental...having been a Mets and Cardinals fan for years, I just haven't the love necessary for the Braves to call me a fan. However, as with many things in life that I haven't particularly enjoyed over the years, my boys make it so worth my time and heart. I go watch the Braves because I love my boys...and my boys and I love baseball. Well, they love what they know of the game...still in training, but getting the hang of the lingo and SOP's of a baseball fan rather well. There are a few things that remain the same from stadium to stadium..."the wave" (Braves' attendees do not always get into this, which is very di...

Wednesday's Walk...Janis Lynn

In searching for a photo from my senior year in college, I was bombarded with sweet, sweet memories of one of my closest college friends....Janis Lynn MacLeish. I met Janis in the fall of 1993 when she came to Taylor University Fort Wayne. She was in my wing of Lexington Hall. Although, I was her RA, Janis taught me so much about life and living in a very short time that I often felt she did a better job leading than I ever could. Life was never the same for me after she and I became friends. It was oh, so much better! The room brightened when Janis finally awoke and entered through the door of one. She befriended the likes of anyone and made no enemies...except for the girls who were jealous of her for one reason or another. Her laughter echoed throughout the halls everyday. One knew when Janis was away for the weekend for it was creepily quiet on campus. Janis ...
