Drizzy

It’s so great to see D-man loving his club waterskiing team so much. He got his jersey for the team and Marshall learned that the rapper Drake is called drizzy Drake so there is where the nickname comes from. 

He also placed 7th in jump for the B team at regionals! And Miami of Ohio’s B team placed 2nd in the jump category  What an improvement! 

 

3-1

The MOHI ultimate team is off to a great start this season with another victory tonight against Lakewood. T-man had a great game and it brings me so much joy watching him something he loves. The neighbor’s even came to see him at which was so nice.

Pretty!

FTW! 

Regionals

College is all about trying new things. Club waterskiing has certainly been that experience for D-man. He’s been at competitions the last three weekends and he landed his jump on the last attempt at regionals this past weekend. Yippee! 

WeWork

My team had a scheduled day to go in to “the office” today at the WeWork building in uptown. I took the bus in and then walked all the way from Union Station to the WeWork space. The space was actually in the “cash register” building where Marshall had a filing job right after we got married. 

I held 1:1s for the first time in person in 2.5 years and went out to lunch with coworkers. It was wonderful to have the team together to collaborate and just spend time together. We wrapped up the day with happy hour and I enjoyed strolling back to the bus station before getting home around 7:30. 

It was fun to be downtown, but wow, I am thankful for working from home.

Pender Trip

Not a lot of pictures, but a busy trip with work, volleyball, watching football and volleyball and seeing friends along with family. 

After stopping work around 4:00 on Friday and taking a walk with Mom, we headed out to Steve’s for happy hour. Georgia was also there and we enjoyed the nice weather for drinks on the deck. We came home for chili, played a game of pitch with mom and dad and then hit the hot tub at Jaima’s. 

After a trip to Allen for JV volleyball on Saturday morning, I got in a walk before watching the Cougs on TV. We also enjoyed drinks on the patio and dinner from Valentino’s thanks to Jaima’s trip to Fremont. 

We took a ride in Jaima’s new vehicle and then Jaima and I went over to Felber’s to watch a a little volleyball and catch up with the Roth’s and others. 

We wrapped up the night watching the Husker volleyball team win in 5 sets (whew)! 

Sunday morning was a lazy morning on the porch and having breakfast before catching my 12:15 flight from SUX tot DEN. 

Drinks at Steve’s 

Milat wine! 

Watching the Cougs - sigh. Planned to watch Miami, but it was the Purdue game showing in Pender 

Gorgeous sunset on our walk

Pendragon Volleyball

I was so happy to be able to watch my nieces play volleyball while back in Pender. Five volleyball games in two days - bang for my Buck for sure. It was also fun to sit and cheer with my family (and get the crowd going in the wave a couple of times).

Sunday Funday

Relaxing. Hiking. Snarfs. Pizza. Chocolate. 

Coming together.,… 

Fun little hike in the nice weather 

Enjoying hand crafted chocolates I got as a thank you gift from a former coworker who I provided a connection intro to and she got the job! 

Under the Big Top

T-man and his friend made casual (last minute) plans to go to homecoming this year. They both wanted to go and it’s great they had each other. There definitely is less drama and organizing when there are only two kids involved. 

We took a few pictures before hand and then took them to Mod Pizza for dinner. They got to the dance around 8:15 and there were already a lot of kids there (yay). The dance was outside again (under the big top theme) after the success of last year’s outside dance (the silver linings of COVID). 

We picked up one kiddo at 10:30 after the dance, but T-man was off with ultimate frisbee kiddos. They both sounded like the had a nice time - you just need your bud to go with. And T-man and I talked about how D-man didn’t get a homecoming his junior year and how you regret the things you didn’t do more than the things you do. I’m glad he has that perspective.  

They clean up nicely 

Good buds

MOHI Nation

It was a lovely night for a homecoming football game and tailgate. We were able to catch up with lots of friends and it was nice to see so many people out at the game. 

The student section was packed, the band is back (after a multi-year hiatus due to a conflict with the old coach) and the Coyotes won 44-0 (their best win yet). 

It was definitely a community event and I’m so thankful we have such a great little town. 

Sophomore White Out

The final day of homecoming week was dress in your class color. Sophomores = white. Tans did a great job! 

Club Water Skiing

I love how we can stay in touch with what is happening in D-man’s world so much easier than when we were in college. D-man sent us his the water skiing newsletter - he’s even in it! The kids tent and grill for the weekend at the lake. He luckily talked his way into a tent and had a blanket and pillow - better than nothing I guess! 

And yes, I now follow the team on Instagram. 

Zucca’s

My happy hour for work was canceled last minute so that meant Marshall and I were able to sneak away for a happy hour in downtown Louisville. Gotta get out when I’m wearing a dress! 

Zucca is a favorite for their good food and choices for drinks.
