Our soccer team usually only travels out of town once a season at the end of the season. This season, our coach signed us up to play in a tournament in Kennesaw, Georgia in August. Coach John's job is with Xara, a soccer company and Xara was sponsoring this tournament, so since he had to be there anyway, he thought he'd bring his team and support their tournament.
Due to conflicts in the family schedule, I took Christian to Georgia and Matthew stayed home with the girls. We decided to leave on Saturday morning so we could save a little money and only stay in the hotel one night. Good thing, considering our routine oil changed turned into $600 worth of repairs on Friday!!!
Our boys played extremely well and won the tournament. We were just thrilled. You never know how you're going to do in a tournament, especially out of town when you've never played these teams before. It was a fun weekend and a great start to a new soccer season.

Our team - the White House 98 Boys Revolution!
One of the fields we played at was about 30 minutes from my college friend Kim's house. So she and her oldest daughter, Lauren (who is a competitive soccer player also) came to watch Christian play and visit with me. It was great to see them and Christian even scored a goal they got to see. Thanks Kim & Lauren for fighting the traffic to come see us!
