WI Dells & Soccer Try Outs!

Weekdays:
  • Monday - I worked from home and had a super productive morning with no meetings before heading to my annual dermatologist apt.  Thankfully my skin still looks clear, no scary moles!  I headed home for a few meetings and then a chill evening with the family.
  • Tuesday - I went into the office for the only time this week. I had my final in person interview for the Rx Pharmacy SVP of HR role.  I had quite a few meetings thought out the day and was able to do a walk and talk catch up with some colleagues mid day.  I then hustled home to get Maci from her "for fun" final Academy 2 practice!  We then started packing for the WI Dells trip!
  • Wednesday - 1st day of PTO! Connor had his basketball training in the morning so we left from there with the car packed at 930a.  We got to the Wilderness around 130p and wandered around the resort before our room was ready at 330p.  We did some swimming at the pool near our room, then we headed downtown for mexican dinner and some shopping.  Once back to the room, we changed and the kids did the wave pool until close at 10p.

  • Thursday - We slept in until 9a and then got around to hit up the breakfast buffet at the resort.  Afterward, we went swimming at our other favorite outdoor pool.  In the afternoon, we decided to hit up the outlets and do some back to school clothes shopping.  We had some really great luck at Nike.  I also got a phone call that they are putting together an offer for me for the job!!!  Wahoo!  We then grabbed some dinner and headed out to putt putt.  Clint got 2 hole in ones and Maci got one.  Connor and I had 0 but lots of fun! We got some ice cream and headed back to the room for cards and beers.  We stayed up until 11p just laughing and having a grand time!








Friday
  • Final day but we made the most of it!
  • We packed up and I had to take a quick call.
  • Then we went to Pancake House for breakfast.
  • We hustled back to check out of the room in time.
  • The kids then wanted to do the zip line so Clint and I watched them do this around the resort.
  • Afterward we swam for a bit, mainly Clint and I sipping beers by the pool and the kids jumping in the wave pool.
  • We then headed to the WI Duck Boats for our annual trip.  Dang we love that tradition!
  • Afterward, we hit up the Grateful Shed for an early 4p dinner and some Olympic watching.
  • We were on the road shortly thereafter and home by 8p for showers, unpacking and early bed time.

After lunch in the heat and he did it!
Saturday
  • Up and at 'em for Day 1 of Try Outs for Maci.  She was not only going out for Fusion but this coming year is the first year she can try for Tonka Fusion Elite (TFE).  This is a top tier team that plays teams nationwide in the GA league and she would move to 11 v 11.  We weren't sure how this would go but let's give it a shot.  Maci thought she did a 8 out of 10 performance after the 800-930a session.
  • We came home and let her rest while I got stuff done around the house.
  • Clint, Connor and Maci then went to see the movie Twister at 1230p.
  • I continued doing things around the house and then started watching Olympics.
  • Maci had to go to Fusion's try outs at 445p and while she was there, Clint, Connor and I met up with some families at Medina ballroom for beers.
  • We picked up the girls and Maci told us all about how her and Violet got to whoop up on some other girls in a 4v4 drill.
  • We chilled out and got another good night sleep.
New Jacket for the sports!
Sunday
  • Day 2 of TFE try outs and this time Maci gave herself a 9-10 for performance.  We left with smiles and wishing all good luck.
  • Once home, I got some stuff done around the house before hitting up a 11a nail apt.
  • I got home and was ordering Connor some gym shoes when something pinged on my phone, HOLY SHIT - Maci had an invite to join the TFE team!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • I ran and got her, she was so excited, we then ran and got Clint to stop the lawn mower and he was pumped.  We quickly found out her pal Charley, Mikah (keeper) and Aanya all made it - Wahooo!!! Throughout the day we would watch who else accepted the invites.  Maci was so proud of herself and Clint and I were so pumped for her!!!!!!!!!
  • Then at 430p she went back for Day 2 of Fusion try outs b/c they didnt tell us otherwise.  However, they had the girls that already made TFE sit together and play games while they assessed the other girls.  A bit awkward but it gave them time to be excited together!  All the girls will have lots of feels as they see us moving in different directions with this year's shakeup.
  • While Clint was picking up Maci and then meeting us, I was at Connor's final night of 3v3 basketball.  They played so great!  They won game 1 20-8 and game 2 was more of a fight with a 26-22 W.  Love watching him enjoy the sport and giggle with his friends!  We even got to run into Gena and Vinney because Emmitt was there with his team.  Gena lifted and spun Maci around after hearing she made the top team!!!  We love our friends turned family :)
  • We let the kids get ice cream after an awesome day for both of them and then ate pizza at home.
  • Now we are getting ready to be back to a full work week ahead, learning more about our new soccer plans and hearing the details of my offer - we are blessed!!
The email that causes so much excitement

Lots of Love,
