Off to FCC

June 10, 2022

Last weekend Samantha, Maxwell, and I drove to Greenville, SC to take Maxwell to camp! The whole family was supposed to go but Spencer ended up having a baseball game so he and Robert had to stay home. This was my first time doing the drive on my own but it wasn’t bad at all – especially with Maxwell as my navigation assistant! The other  hitch? I got a nail in my tire right before leaving! Uh oh!! Thankfully GJ’s car was still in Birmingham so we loaded that up and hit the road. We stopped for gas and somehow I got talked into these…

Why not?!

We hit the town that night with friends and tried a pizza place that was really good called Barley’s. There was also a sports bar next door with a huge arcade room for the kids so it was a win all around! It’s so pretty in downtown Greenville on the river walk.

That night I shared a bed with Samantha in the hotel and let’s just say it was not a quality night’s sleep! I was a little concerned about driving 5 hours the next day! But, we got up and going in time to make a Starbucks and McDonald’s stop on the way to Tuxedo, NC for drop off!

It was a quick drop off. No nerves from Maxwell at all and the only goodbye wave I got was from the counselor! ha!

I know he’s going to have the very best 3 weeks!

I’m with the band

June 3, 2022

Two weekends ago I flew to Cincinnati for 24 hours to meet up with Lyndsay and Katie and get full VIP treatment at the Bandwagon concert thanks to Lyndsay’s friend, Leslie.

There’s not much to do in Cincinnati so we ended up at the casino that afternoon. Why not?!

That night we had full backstage access to the show and I got to hang all night with Little Big Town and Miranda Lambert. Pretty dang cool!! I did the opening prayer and chant with the band, hung out on their bus after the show, chit-chatted with Miranda for 30 minutes about her “hot cop” husband…it was insane!! Truly one of the most fun nights with some of the most fun people!!

Only downside was Leslie ended the night with a severely sprained ankle. Thankfully it wasn’t broken but it was interesting watching all of us try to get her into the car and into the wheelchair! ha!

Rogers Rabid Raiders

June 2, 2022

Maxwell’s class came up with their own idea and decided to be a sort of rabid football team – Rogers’ Rabid Raiders! They all dressed up as football players, cheerleaders, or referees and Miss Rogers was the coach. They even had a lion mascot!

Maxwell’s class met in GJ’s yard to get ready. I had plenty of Krispy Kremes for them too!

All of these kids had a super fun day and I’m so grateful they all had fantastic teachers that went all out with them! Miss Rogers was an especially good sport!
