| If you know Preston at all, you'll know what's happening here . . . |
Today was Preston's first official travel game for CSA. We had to go to SC so it was a bit of a haul, but thankfully his first game wasn't until 11:20. It was blazing hot and there was no shade at all (except for the umbrella that I brought) but he played his hardest against boys 2 years older than him. It was a blow out, but never-the-less a good experience as he played his first 9x9 soccer.
Thankfully, after the game we were able to find an air-conditioned mall nearby where we could have lunch and relax before his next game at 2:50pm. Classic kids not wanting to be in the picture!
After a little rest we headed back to the soccer field for game two. It was at least kids his own size this time, but after the first game Preston was spent. He barely had enough energy to kick, much less run up and down the field for an hour with NO subs! Unfortunately, it was another blow out game.

With soccer over, we still had exciting things ahead! We were celebrating Dave's birthday today too!! He chose Red Robin so we stopped there on the way back from soccer and enjoyed a yummy dinner. Then it was Ben & Jerry's ice-cream cake for dessert and of course the best part of the day, Clemson Football!
I just can't say enough wonderful things about Dave . . . he never once complained about having to travel for soccer on his birthday or the heat . . . he just took the day in stride like he always does. He is amazingly patient, kind, loving, generous, and did I say patient?!? A true man of noble character who always gives more than he has and loves us well. I'm so, so thankful for him and all he means to our family!!! We love you daddy-o! Happy Happy Birthday!!
