What a weekend!
First, we travel to Athens and take part in a tour of the University of Georgia, one of Benjamin's leading contenders for college next year. This time, we got to listen to one of their young students take us and highlight many of the places that make UGA unique. Benjamin also got to ask lots of questions.
The answers we got were positive, and UGA remains in prime contention. It is the biggest school he is considering, and the farthest away.
Second, Alison and I were fortunate enough to be able to use Doug's season tickets and see Atlanta United perform at Marcedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta. This was Alison's first professional soccer game, and she loved it! Not only did Atlanta win, but we also witnessed an MLS record, with Josef Martinez scoring a hat trick (3 goals in one game) for a record-setting 6th time! No other MLS player has ever that many hat tricks!
Thirdly, we attended the engagement party of Doug and Paige. Remember, faithful readers, we witnessed Doug's proposal on our Ireland trip! We got to meet some of their friends, and Paige's wonderful parents.
That is just a brief summary of a super weekend. I am trying to get back into the hang of writing, as my schedule has been somewhat a jumble, and I'm still trying to get over some of the problems with my most recent post about remembering our time with Jeff & Vijaya, the celebrity couple we spent time almost two decades ago at Pogofest.
I'm starting to hit another snag, in that I'm going to be needing to get around a lot earlier the next month, as I should be starting my workday earlier. Leisurely mornings will be fewer for a while. This will affect the blog some, but fiction writing a whole lot. It's hard to get a good rhythm going.
Have a good day!
