More Softball Pictures......

Here are a few more picutres of Madi playing softball. (I have finally figured this picture thing out!) Enjoy!!!!

Six Flags

We had an AWESOME time!!!! Madi was so excited when she found out that we were going to Six Flags and was even more excited when she saw Meaghan pulling up at the Chevron. Of course they wanted to ride together so they crawled up into Kevin and Michelle's Expedition and we took off. We got there around 9:30 GA time, went to the Hotel, got the parking passes and then walked to the park. After shooting a few pictures at the front gate with the characters the guys & Madi went to ride their first roller coaster for the day, the Georgia Scorcher, while Meaghan, Michelle and myself went to get the FLASH PASH! The Scorcher was Madi's very first roller coaster and she loved it! We couldn't get her to stop! The only ride that she didn't ride with us was the Acrophobia, but I couldn't say that I blamed her, that was a tough ride. We walked around and rode as many rides as we could thanks to "Scaredy Cat" Michelle. Since she didn't want to ride most of the rides, she opted to scan the flash pass for us and we rode more rides in one day than I ever thought was possible. I think the favorite ride for everyone was the Goliath! The biggest roller coaster and the best. I would say that it is the Cadillac of coasters, WOW!!!! We really had a good time and can't wait to do it again!

And They All Came Tumbling Down!!

Well! Yesterday was not a pleasant day at all. While Madi and I were walking out the back door to leave for the morning I, being graceful and all that, fell down my steps. The steps were slick from a thin sheet of ice and I busted it big time!!! Honest to God, I thought I had broken my ankle clean in to. All I know is that my foot went numb and I was about to pass out. Thankfully my precious child was there and she dialed 911. Paramedics got there helped me into the house and since there were no obvious breaks and I wasn't dieing, there was no way I was taking a ride to the emergency room in an ambulance. NO WAY!!! So, Madi called Mom and she came and took me to the doctor for x-rays. Thank God above it was just a sprang.

The dilemma is I have a Six Flags trip planned for Saturday and I am NOT going to miss it. So instead of staying home again today, I got up and came in to work. I doing good and feeling fine. This foot ache will be worked out in no time!!!!

Second Game

Whew! We had our second game tonight and the girls WON! The final score was 14-4. They did so good and I sure am a proud momma tonight!

I will be posting again on Monday with more pictures as my work computer is faster at downloading them. Plus, she plays again tomorrow at noon!

Deposit Made!

WELL!!!!!!! Our trip has officially been scheduled. Instead of going during October we have decided to go the week of Thanksgiving! This is because of Madi's school. If she has four unexcused absenses they will fail her, so in order for us to go this year Thanksgiving will be the only time we have available. Here she is Ladies and Gentleman, the Sovereign of the Seas!

Madi's First Softball Game

Well guys, we had our first softball game last night. Wow was it fun! I love it! Madi did so good and we are all so proud of her. She got to "try" and bat twice. Man that girl pitching against them was too fast! Madi played left field and did an excellent job with getting the back in to the infield. They ALL have a lot of work to do! They ended up losing the game 8 to 3, but man was it exciting. For the first game, all the girls did really good .

It is so funny to know how it feels now to be sitting on the bleachers watching my child play, as my mom and dad did me! Wow it's intense!!!!

Now I know that many of you would like to see pictures, but the truth is I didn't take any last night. I was in such a hurry that I totally forgot my camera. But I will try and remember to get it for Friday night.

BTW - Madi's next game is Friday night at 6pm in Corner. If you would like to come and don't know how to get there just let me know and I'll provide you with directions. This is only a pre-season tournament so there will be many more to be played.

Last First Week of School!

Well this is the start of my final term as an undergraduate of Troy University! Please keep me in your prayers that I will do well in each class and grow with understanding in what I am studying. This term is Cybercrime, Senior Seminar for Criminal Justice and Speech! I really hope I don't have a problem in speech, I have dreaded this class from day one and purposely saved it for last....... Let's just hope it doesn't bite me in rear for doing so.........

I've looked over the agenda for all three classes and they seem to be fairly easy (I hope!). The one I really have to excel in is the Senior Seminar class. This is the dot of the I for all seniors and can be a headache if you are in the wrong class. In all worlds teachers and their style of teaching are everything. In fact, I was going to take this class last term but when I looked at the syllabus I saw that I was going to have to write a 20 to 25 page paper! Oh my word.....I have problems writing a five page paper let alone 20! So, I decided to wait until my final term. As I was registering I saw that there was another prof teaching the course this term and I jumped on that with both feet. This guy only wants a five page paper! If that wasn't God, I don't know what is. God knows how I am when it comes to writing and I know He felt sorry for me.

Anyway, I will keep everyone posted on the progress!
