This Monday doesn't seem so bad...What gives?

The weekend kind of flew by. The weather is still good. I am not sure what the deal is but it has been really nice lately. I keep thinking the other shoe is about to drop.

We visited Iowa State on Friday. It was an eye opening experience. They have really nice facilities and are building a new outdoor track stadium and it should be up and running in a couple years.

The coach was really nice and provided us with a lot of information. He said they want Jess to run track at Iowa State and wants her to come up for an "official" visit in early fall and then they will offer a scholarship.

They have an academic center devoted to student athletes and she would have a world of resources at her fingertips. The one thing he said that I liked. He said "If you come to Iowa State, I can guarantee you two things. You will get a degree and you will get faster."

We will be able to take 5 official visits this fall.

Jess played in a basketball tournament in Creston Saturday. They won 2 and lost 1. She lead the team in scoring all games. She scored 20, 16 and 12 points. The last game they lost to a team that really was throwing elbows and fouling hard. Jess got a fat lip and a sore jaw. One of the girls on the team got elbowed in the throat and in the back of the neck. I am not sure I have seen a game with more girls crying in it. We ended up losing 31-20. Jess scored 12 of the 20.

Drew hung out at home this weekend. He has been practicing football, basketball and lifting weights. He kind of hung out around the house Saturday playing playstation and then Sunday was out and about with his friends most of the day.

I am not sure what the week ahead will bring but I am sure whatever it is, I could not have predicted it.

I need to call and get an appointment for Molly at the vet. It is time for her shots.

Ok, off to start the week.
