I ran home from Haven Sunday only to orchestrate a little carb loading and hustling off to the county swim meet!! Both boys qualified with Whit swimming freestyle and John competing in free, back and the medley relay.
It’s worth mentioning that all of the boys individual qualifying times were towards to bottom of the pack. We went into this for FUN and to extend the season a little since they were both so sad after the last meet. Whit finished number 29 in the state – being one of only four 5 year olds that made it!!!
John ended up number 25 in the county for backstroke and number 40 in freestyle. Not too shabby.
And he was delighted that his relay took fourth place overall!! That came with a big ribbon for the ring :-)
It was a fun (and hot and sweaty and crowded) end to our first swim team season!! With that, we are off to the ER for our last round of rabies shots. And we’ve only received $47,000 worth of statements for our first two visits, with half of them filed under an insurance we haven’t had for two years. Should be super straightening all this out :-) Oh, and if I never see the inside of an ER again it will be too soon. xoxo
The Acrylic Tray
My sweet friend P gave me the fabulous HKL Designs acrylic tray that I’d been coveting as a thank you for carrying her chandelier back from Savannah on my last trip. Totally unnecessary, but fabulous of her all the same :-) Now, I absolutely adore the fact that the bottom comes off to quickly and… Read More
Haven Conference {Day 3}
The last day of Haven was just as super fun as the first two!! I spent the bulk of my time visiting and networking with the vendors and stalking meeting some of my favorite bloggers for the first time in real life. Paige had to duck out for a bit to cheer on little bit… Read More
Haven Conference {Day 2}
Day two dawned bright and early with breakfast and and opening by the precious Chip Wade (I would give my left leg…all ankle issues aside…to have him do my master bathroom). Apart from Chip’s fun talk and jaw dropping before and afters, my very favorite session of the day was the hands on workshop with… Read More
Haven Conference {Day 1}
I can hardly believe my first blog conference came and went just like that. I was SOOOO beyond nervous going in and now I sit here three days later exhausted but with a huge grin on my face, a full heart from meeting so many of y’all in real life and a living room full… Read More
On My Bedside {Life After Life}
Life After Life by Kate Atkinson took me a lot longer than usual to get into. It time hops and actually repeats the same chapters over and over again with different outcomes – all of which required more concentration than I generally have available to focus on a book. That being said, I stuck with… Read More
Find Me At…
After quite a hiatus, I’m thrilled to be back at House of Turquoise today sharing John’s bedroom. It’s without a doubt one of my favorite blogs so you must go take a peek if you don’t already follow! While you’re blog hopping, fellow oyster lover Seashells and Magnolias has featured one of my all time favorite oyster… Read More
