Recovering and Running . . .

Unfortunately, Preston came down with the flu last week.  What started as allergies ended with him in bed for two days with a super high fever!  Thankfully, he bounced back pretty quickly, but still isnt' 100% and has a lingering cough that he just can't shake.  After trying to play in a soccer game this past Monday and not being able to run very much, I made the decision to pull him from the rest of soccer practices and games for the week to give his body time to rest and recover.  However, I lost the battle with letting him run in the track meet this weekend. So, this morning he ran the relay medley and 4x100 as well at the meet in Weddington.  It wasn't his best performance, but I think it did his soul good to be part of the team today.  Now we are just praying he can shake this crazy cough soon and be back to all things normal!

Savannah's Spring Break in Hungary

This was a long-awaited adventure for Savannah.  She applied and was accepted to travel with the UNC business school to Budapest for Spring break . . then she applied and was granted some scholarship money to make it a doable adventure (well, I haven't seen her credit card bill, but at least the trip portion was more affordable LOL).  Her flight out was at 9pm Friday with a connection in London, where she just happened to meet up with her life-long bestie Anna Kate, who was traveling back from Spring break in London.  Who would have guessed these two would connect at 5am in the London airport?!?

 The messages and pictures have been VERY lacking, but she says they are busy.  From what I can tell by stalking her on life360 there has been little sleep and lots of activity.  Dave found this on Instagram and it's about the best I have until she returns.  Praying for continued fun, safety, and uneventful flights home.  We are all excited to see her and are praying that we can still go pick her up from the airport.  Preston has been down with the flu all week, so just praying he is not contagious by Saturday so we can go get our girl in the Durham airport!

Catching up on all Things Sports

 Preston has been insanely busy with school track and club soccer.  His body is truly taking a beating . . . but he is loving being part of both teams.  Most days he leaves for school at 6:30am for school, has track practice right after school, and then heads to club practice before coming home to do homework.  

Track meet at Marvin

Soccer in Holly Springs, 2.5 hours away!

So much running and activity means there has to be muscle recovery in the icebath weekly!  I'm just praying we make it to summer with this sports and school schedule!
