Tomorrow is Friday... and we're off to Nashville! I've been looking forward to this weekend for a while now. First, it's a weekend away. Second, it's Nashville and I love Nashville. Third, and the most important reason, I get to meet some blogging friends in real life! We'll be having lunch with Rachel and Troy, Carey and Norman, Carrie and Michael and Adrienne, Jim and the infamous Owen! We're hoping Brandy and Coby will be able to join us also. They just returned from meeting their little boy.
On Saturday morning we'll be going to our agency's office for a seminar. I'm not too sure what it's about, but I'm sure it will be good. There are quite a few of us going, so it should be fun regardless. It will be nice to be able to talk to people from the agency face to face and maybe even get some answers to some questions we have.
Of course, prior to heading to Nashville we have an exciting night of FOOTBALL! I know that's a shocker! I find myself really getting into this football thing. Alex had a JV game tonight and instead of wincing every time Alex is on the field and saying a silent prayer, I'm yelling things like "HIT HIM", "GET HIM, ALEX", "AWESOME! NICE HIT!". Alex had an awesome tackle tonight - 2 of our guys were trying to bring down the ball carrier and Alex came out of nowhere and mowed all three of them over. Ahhhh... to be a proud step-mom. (Note to all: I really am a caring, kind person. I just happen to love contact sports.)
Here are some action shots of Alex (#16). He typically plays safety and every once in a while plays QB.
Isn't he just a cutie?? I told Keith tonight that each time I see him on the field I feel like he has grown even more! He's becoming more and more adult (and more and more like a teenager). His mom would be so happy of the man he's becoming. As much as she drove me crazy from time to time, I miss her and it breaks my heart knowing how much of Alex's life she will miss. I can only hope that she's up there somewhere working some magic in Alex's life.
Anyhow, I need to call it a night. Fighting the flu and I CANNOT be sick this weekend. Oh, and for those of you that care, I've packed all neutral colors for this weekend. I want to be sure I match everyone in the picture, unlike when we met Melissa and Nathan for the first time. :-)

You are too funny. I hope that heaven forbid you aren't going to wear any stripes or bold patterns either! :0 Too funny! I look forward to those pictures. Have a blast. Wish we could be there. Sending our love and greetings along with you...
Hahaha, you are NUT! Neutral colors! You were in the same color FAMILY as the rest of us...that counts!
BTW, why did I have it in my head that y'all were getting together the weekend of Oct 20? I had gotten excited, thinking I might get to come (sans Nathan) - and then I read that it is this weekend! Bah! :)
Seriously, y'all have fun - I can't wait to read how it goes...and how you blend so nicely with everyone else in the pictures! :)
enjoy your trip. the action shots are great.
Have a great weekend. It's nice that you actually get to meet other bloggers. And I can't wait to hear about the agency news...it has to be good! Take care
PS...awesome pictures of Alex
I know you'll have so much fun this weekend -
Your son is adorable. Watch out girls!!!
Loved the football pictures, and yes he is a cutie pie. If I had a daughter his age, I would send her that way. What am I saying....I will have a daughter that age some day and no way is she dating. No sir. Family night every night until she is 30. Then, we'll talk about dating.
I can't wait to see you tomorrow!! Yeah. I look forward to it. So, neutral. I guess I'll have to look at what I can wear tomorrow. I hadn't thought about it. Fixed hair and dressed to impress. Ha.
I ordered the books. I can't wait to get them although the one won't be delivered until after Nov. 1st. Thanks for the heads up.
Love the pictures of Alex--great shots!!!
We are excited about meeting you tomorrow. I can't believe it's almost here! I haven't even begun to think about what I might wear. Hmmm...neutrals? I don't have many neutrals... Maybe we can all make a rainbow instead? :O)
Have a great time...that will be so fun (I'm just a little jealous). You will all have a blast.
