Weekend In Review

It was a busy weekend as we prepared for the first day of school!

On Friday night Clay was volunteering at EdVenture, and after Ben and I dropped him off, we picked up Ron for dinner at Monterrey's. After dinner we headed home, where we tooled around until picking Clay back up at 9:30. We knew Saturday would be a busy one and we all went to bed when we got back home.

Clay had to be at EdVenture at 9:00 on Saturday and after we dropped him off, Ron, Ben and I met my friend from Spartanburg, Wendy, her daughter, Savannah and her mom, Linda at Capital Cafe for a shrimp 'n grits breakfast! It was so great to catch up with Wendy and here all about my old school. After breakfast we still had a couple of hours to kill so we decided to head over towards Russell House to see all of the students moving in. That was a little scary when I realized that I will be moving my oldest baby into a dorm in only 5 years! We had a good time, though. Ron ran into a fraternity brother, and we visited the WWI exhibit at McKissick Museum.


After picking Clay up at noon we hurried home because he was leaving for the lake at 12:30. My friend, Julie (Clay's friend Chase's mom), realized that a friend of hers has a son in the same magnet as Clay. So, Julie put Sharon in touch with me and we talked on Thursday....she invited Clay to join her son, husband, and another friend (the big connection here is that we all go to church together) at Lake Murray. They had a blast and Clay ended up having dinner with the family. While Clay was gone the other three of us went to my school so Ron could put together my multi-media cart and I could make copies. Later, they rested while I completed school plans and paperwork. We finally ate a late lunch at Chic-fil-A so Ben could play before heading home to rest....again!

On Sunday, the boys and I drove Ron downtown (he'd left his car there on Friday night) for a meeting, we had breakfast at McDonald's and the stopped at Wal-Mart for school supplies before heading to the 10:00 SS at church. Ron and I had received a call earlier in the week from Steve, the college minister. Chris, my partner this year, had given him our names about college ministry. Steve invited us to visit and so I did....It was awesome! After a terrific service, the boys and I met Ron for lunch at Shane's Rib Shack, went grocery shopping and the came home to crash! We were all so tired (and busy getting ready for Monday) that we realized about 9:00 we hadn't even had supper!
