The team stayed in Lexington, KY last night, went to church this morning then drove to Louisville to hang out for the day. Their coach was very kind in allowing them a "free day." So, Olivia called me and I went and got her and she came and hung out for the day. Nathan and I are going to see her play in Pikeville tomorrow but it was good just to get to hang out for a few hours.
The soccer team was in downtown Louisville which is where I had to go to get her. That is totally cool EXCEPT the Iron Man Triathlon was taking place and the UK vs. UofL game was being played - both in downtown Louisville. So, what would normally be a 20 minute trip took over an hour. Yeah, it was a little frustrating at first but we made it home with the help of Nathan and Google Maps! =)
I went to Olivia's high school graduation in May but that is the only time I have seen her since she was a bridesmaid in my wedding in April. She had not seen the wedding pictures yet so she had a good time looking at those.
In the last blog I mentioned that my cat, Eli, is very social. Well, he is unless he is aggravated to the point of being annoyed. When Olivia walked in the door, Eli greeted her, sniffed her feet and considered her a welcome guest...UNTIL she started pestering him. Then, he hid the rest of the time she was there. This is Eli hiding in the bathroom at the end of the hall. This is where he sits when he wants to see what's going on but he doesn't want to come out and play.
One of mine and Olivia's favorite games is Phase Ten (a card game). She and I both are a little competitive so it's never the most peaceful game ever - no worries, it's all in fun. We talked Nathan into playing. He is such a good sport!! =)
You can tell by this picture who DOMINATED the game! Yeah, me! =)
Olivia, we had fun this afternoon and we look forward to your soccer game tomorrow!
Love you!
Meg
