My cool weekend
Hey, yall, I haven't posted anything for a little while, so I figured I would take a small break from my solitaire addiction to give you a small look into my shallow hindsight. For those of you not in the "know", Mom and Dad had a busy weekend planned. Sam's 8th grade team made it to the championships. Yay!!! The plan was, or at least as far as my parents knew, that we would show up to the 8:00 game about 30 minutes early, nothing out of the ordinary. My Uncle Bob, being that it was right after Mom and Dad's 20th Anniversary, and the fact that Sam had conveniently stayed at their house Friday, offered to take us out with them and Grandma to a dinner at a relatively fancy place. This was planned to happen at about 7, so we would just go straight from there to the game. It was going to be pushing it, but the dinner was going to be good, so we were cool with that. Uncle Bob and Grandma showed up at the house at about 6:30 to meet us and then we would follow them to dinner. I have to say, Uncle Bob was pretty slick with this, but he happened to get a call from a "realtor" who had happened to "leave his briefcase" at the old Bolink building and, since it was on the way, we were going to stop there on the way to the restaurant to give it to him real fast, but, since he had plans, we were not waiting on him. Well, we get in the car and head out. I spent the entire ride there trying to not bust out laughing as both my parents realized that rain was coming and were trying to figure out how to get raincoats so they wouldn't get wet. Sure enough, we pulled into the Bolink parking lot and all the big garage unloading doors were open, the parking lot was full, and there were people all hanging out of the open doors waving us in. "Surprise!" We had been planning a party for them since October, and we had them good. Well, the party was great, a little over 70 people showed up, and we never made it to the game. But, Sam's sacrifice for our wonderful parents paid off because they won (!) and will be playing in the junior peach bowl, so Sam still gets to cheer one more time. And by the way, I expect to see all of yall there! With such a great start to my week, and yes, my weeks start on Saturday, the rest of my week has been great. I turned in my football stuff Monday, :'(, and started Wrestling Tuesday, :). I'm out of shape, but it's been great gettin back into the Wrestling way of things. Last week was the official week in which I am the youngest kid around. Thank goodness I still have guy Alex (I have to say the guy being that him and chick Alex are now together) because he'll be 16 with me till 5 days before me. But Nathan, Brennen, girl Alex, and Celia all turned 17 in a span of 4 days. It sure is a good thing I don't have to wrestle this weekend because Tuesday I went to Celia's and ate cake and did all the Birthday stuff. Next week looks promising, starting with the UGA-GT hockey game Saturday night. GT is totally going to win and I'm in pretty good hopes that Celia won't freak out about all the family we're going with. I figure it would be best to meet some of that gang (Uncle Charlie) a little at a time, so Saturday night will be a good start. Well, the Tech football game is on, so I'm gonna run, but I figured I'd post something nice and... um... fluffy (?), and I ant to end by thanking all those that showed up last Saturday and I'll see yall when I can. Thanks for readin' this and I hope the best for all of yall.
