Legend..wait for it..dary.

Some weekends pass right on by as nothing special and some weekends are quite simply the bomb... This past weekend was one of the great ones.

It started with a doubleheader GNO Friday. My friend Kendall and I went to the traveling Broadway production of Annie. As a side note I cried twice during the show.. What is it about being a mom that makes you unable to process the thought that any child is an orphan?? I am an emotional mess!

After Annie we met up with a group of girls to go see the 11:00 showing of 17 again. We are a bunch of cradle-robbers - but after you see that movie I think you might understand why. I mean COME ON the car scene? The whole time I was begging Zac Efron NOT to turn back into Matthew Perry. Think I can talk Trent into a leather bomber jacket and aviators?

I signed up for a soccer team and Saturday morning was our first game. It was my first outdoor, regulation-field full-out game in 5 years! And it was incredible. I was running around the field and I teared up because it was a Saturday morning and I had just laced up my cleats. It sounds ridiculous but I feel like typing what a blessing, because that is what it was. We lost, but I feel it was a moral victory because I played 80 minutes of soccer without passing out or dropping dead. I really appreciate Trent for supporting me when I feel like I need to do these things. He was so great to bring Lucy and break out the camping chair and watch me play. I had my own personal cheering section and it was perfect.

Later that day we hit up one of the many fantastic parks in Columbus to have a BBQ with some friends. What is it about the spring weather that suddenly turns me into such a cheese ball that loves every minute of life? Its supposed to rain tomorrow so I know it can't last. That Vitamin D is some strong stuff. If Trent is smart we will apply for residency programs somewhere warm - think of the possibilities if I could be this nice year round.

P.S. The nursery countdown IS ON! Only 1 more week until Lucy is legal!
P.P.S. If you don't understand the heading on this post. Do yourself a huge favor and rent How I Met your Mother on DVD. What I'm about to say may shock you - its funnier than the Office.

Playing catch..
Lucy and pals

totally agree...it is funnier then the Office!!!! I was laughing at your heading. I agree the warm weather brings out the best side of me also. This snow here was about to be the death of me (or of Jeff depending on how I felt that day:)!

Way to go Jamie! I can identify with the lacing of the cleats. Of course it is ski boots for me. Its amazing to hit one of those moments, where all of a sudden you are just yourself again. That doesn't sound like it makes sense but it does. Can't wait to see you.

Your stories are so funny. I love to read them. I can't believe how big your little Lucy is getting. I know what you mean when you say- how did this happen so fast- it is crazy how fast they grow up! I need to go see that movie!
