COLD WEEK-END

Jessica and I left Friday with Mom and Dad. It was a beautiful day in Valdosta and we were heading for Dublin and the soceer tournament. By the time we got out of the car in Douglas for a potty break-the temp had begun to drop! And by the time we got it Dublin-it was down right COLD! I had checked out the forecast on the computer, so I was fairly prepared, but some of our fans had on shorts at the game Friday night!!!! It was cool but we were in the football stadium so the wind was blocked some. On Saturday morning at 9:30, we were on the soceer field and there was nothing to block the wind-it was 45 and breezy!!!! The sun was NOT out but at least it didn't rain on us. After that game, we went to Cracker Barrel and got a cup of soup and tried to warm up. The last game was back in the stadium so it was not as bad as the early game!!! We lost 2 and won 1. They really played pretty good-at least I thought they did...I don't know much about soceer and Mary Jo is not here anymore to explain it to me! :)

Kenny came up Saturday afternoon and he and I left and went to Atlanta. Jess went home with Mom and Dad. Let me just say, our week-end weather did not get any better. It started raining on us and it was then RAINY and COLD!!! It rained all night Sat. and most of Sunday. I don't think the temp ever got about about 48! After speaking Sun. Morning at Thomas Crossroads, we met Toni and Chris and had lunch and got to hang out with them the rest of the afternoon. Then we headed to So. Cobb to speak Sunday night. As soon as we could get out of the building we headed south and thankfully the temp began going up...even at night. It was warmer went we got the at 11:15 than it had been all day!

We did have a nice week-end though, even with the cold and rain! Thanks to Mom and Dad for letting Jess spend the night with them and to Samantha for bringing her home and then getting her in bed!!! What am I going to do when she goes to Faulkner in the fall???? We really enjoyed getting to visit with Toni and Chris and are hoping that they will be able to be building soon down here!
