Priorities....

So, today was the BIG game....Arkansas v. Alabama!  The spot to be at 2:30 this afternoon was in front of the television!!!  We, however, were on the soccer fields!  Autumn had soccer games today...yep...games, today was her double-header!  Her first game was 2:20 and her second game was at 3:15.  For a couple weeks we knew this was coming.  We made all of the preparations....got the DVR ready, wore our Hogs attire to the game, informed people NOT to call us, refused to check FB, or any site that would give us info.

Today at 2:20 we were on the soccer fields along with quite a few other Hog fans.  When the game started, I never even thought about the Hogs (okay...that isn't true, I thought about them occasionally, but usually only when someone tried to talk about the game).  Autumn scored 2 goals today.  I was such a proud mom!  They tied both of their games.  Their first game the final score was 3-3.  Their second game was scoreless.  It was awesome because my mom even got to see Autumn score her goals!!  Mark and I both agreed we LOVED being out at the fields today.

The truth is, I LOVE being out on the soccer fields.  I LOVE watching my girls play.  I am always so proud of them!  I LOVE being with my friends.  We are lucky enough to have some of the BEST kids on our team and some of their moms are some of my favorite people.  The weather was PERFECT today.  It was a GREAT afternoon!  Now, when we did get home, we watched the Hogs lose from start to finish, and were proud to cheer for the Hogs (when they gave us something to cheer about).  But, the highlight of my day occurred on the soccer fields....with my family and friends.  It was a GREAT day!

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
