Back on the Track ~ Summer Series

After finally healing from his ankle sprain, Preston was ready to hit the track again today for the summer track series at Providence Day!  He set a new PR in the 100m and ran the 400m for the first time.  Now he has a new blister :( from hugging the curve so tightly in his track shoes.  UGH!  But he seemed happy with his performance so we'll take that as a win!

 

Celebrating Summer ~ Peace Out Providence

Preston's last day of school (of half day of school) for his sophomore year was today.  It's hard to believe he's half way done with high school!!

 To celebrate summer our neighborhood had a mini block party complete with a free icecream truck on Sunday.  Bring on summer!!!

Track Banquet

Tonight all of the track athletes were honored at the spring banquet.  Although Preston was injured at the end of the season and didn't have a chance to post qualifiying times for conference, he had a fantastic season and really enjoyed being on the team.  Here's to hoping he can stay injury free next year!

Preston with Coach Vaughns

 It was a fun way to end the season, although it was a SUPER long night.

Memorial Day Festivities

To enjoy the long weekend Dave and Savannah decided to go to the UNC baseball game uptown.  Unfortunately they lost, but at least these two had a swell time. :)

On Monday, after getting Preston's car serviced, we all ventured out to play mini golf.  We couldn't decide what we wanted to do and went back and forth about it all day, but it turned out to be perfect weather for outdoor golfing.  It was cloudy and started drizzling a little as we were leaving which really cooled things off.  Dinner was complete with homemade macaroni and cheese, and BBQ that we picked up on the way home.  Now we're officially ready for Preston to wrap up school and be done for the summer!

 

Soccer Semi-Finals

 

Dave and Preston headed back to Wilson this morning for another round of soccer.  Unfortunately, the boys lost in a close, well-fought match, but the bright side is that they were able to make it home for dinner!  It was the last club game Preston will play, so it was a bit bittersweet, but we know it's the right decision for him.  He hasn't always been the biggest fan of his coach this year, but he did progress as a soccer player so we are thankful for that!

Treat to Celebrate

 

As a belated fun treat, Savannahh and I went to TCBY so I could get my mother's day yogurt.  We got back so late from soccer this weekend that I wasn't able to benefit from the free mom's day cup, but at least I had a coupon! :)   So glad to have my girl home for the summer!!

Year 2 Done ~ UNC Move Out Day!!!

We literally rolled stuff across the street from one dorm to the next!

I cannot believe this beauty is finished with her second year at UNC!  Dave and I drove up this afternoon to move her out.  We had reserved a storage unit and planned to move all of her junk there, but at the last minute, her new boss said she could just move everything to the office.  (With the new position, she has her own office where she will have to hold office hours, so there was a nice little storage area sitting empty over the summer.) She loved her new role as an RA and is thrilled to be able to serve as a RAM next year.  The only negative thing is that she has to switch dorms.  We both loved her room in Horton, but next year she is going to be in a much older dorm and have to share a bathroom with 6 other girls . . . still better than a hall-style bathroom, but it will just be different.  She is gung ho about her new position though, so we are rolling with it!

Bye, bye amazing Horton

 All of her stuff crammed into her new office!  The blessing is that everything is already in the correct building for next year, so move in should be a breeze!
