How Do We Always Get Behind?

Well, we wanted to leave in less than 6 hours, and here I am blogging. I had to let everyone know that our softball team won tonight with a big score of 25-10. Sarah pitched another whole game and got a triple her last at bat. Woohoo! Jeff stepped in and played 2nd base and is our switch hitter. Matthew isn't happy with his performance, but he had good hits, the other team just caught them. Our team is very cohesive and play well together. I couldn't be more proud of them. Our shortstop will be managing/coaching the game next week in our absence. Sarah avoided any injury tonight, but one of our players got hit in the head by an overthrow to first base. knocked his glasses clean off! He seems to be ok, will have a bruise for sure. Mom knows to watch for any signs of head injury.

I have had a sore throat and headache for nearly 48 hours. Needless to say, I didn't feel much like packing. I feel a better tonight after the game. Jeff always says that exercise is good for you! I even ran the bases for myself tonight.

Mary spent most of her day getting all her Miss Danish papers in order. Her salute page, that will go in the program is being sponsored by a couple from our church! She is close to reaching her goal for the Children's Miracle Network. She was very happy that her friend Brandon got home tonight and came over to spend time together before we leave in the morning. I am sure that there will be plenty of texts going from OK and TX back to MI!

Well, I have my clothes packed, the goodies for the car packed and the DVD player and movies packed. Just need to organize my purse and papers and then get a shower and rest for tomorrow, wait today!

Sarah is taking her laptop, so I will be able to blog on the road! Next stop St. Louis!
