A Nice and Relaxing Weekend

Hahaha Yeah Right!? We don't even know what those words mean anymore! But that's ok ... Staying busy is what keeps us out of trouble (or that's what people keep telling me)!! On Saturday, Brian Holik and I drove to Abilene to watch Sarah run in the regional track meet! To make a day of it, we decided to watch 1A and 2A finals! Since a couple of Mertzon kids were running, Bryan (my Bryan) brought a couple of his boys! We watched 1A together ... and then Bryan took the boys to Buffalo Wild Wings in Abilene for some wings and to watch the draft!

Our First Regional Track Meet Together
(hahahah)
I got this picture just as shot the gun ...
See the smoke!

Run, Sarah, Run

They were ranked 8th by their time coming into the finals ... they placed 8th! But they looked good! They are all juniors or younger ... So, Bring on the Senior Year!!

The Mile Relayers (Is this a word?)

Hilari is saying, "Take it, Sarah"!!

So, there was a girl who got 2nd in the 3200 Meter Run and a guy who won the 1600 Meter Run ... they will be moving onto state! As for Sarah, she got to drink a Dr. Pepper for the first time in months! She said it sure was good!

Me, Sarah and Brian

Brian had a Wall T-shirt ... but instead, he decided to support his new school!

Sarah and Ethan

So some crazy stories from the day:
-During the first lap of the girls 1600 Meter Run, a girl fell down and grabbed her head. We all though that she hit it on the track! She got up and ran another 100 meters, but then stepped off again. Later, we found out that she was actually stepped on TWICE ... IN THE HEAD ... WITH SPIKES!! :/
-There were 3 hurdles left for the boys in the 300 meter hurdles ... 2 of them saw the gold and silver already hanging from their necks, and moving onto state! A split second later they saw the track, face-to-face! The 1st and 2nd place hurdlers went down ... they knew there season was over for this race! You might think that the 3rd and 4th are going to state now after they became 1st and 2nd ... Not quite! At the time of the fall, the 2nd to LAST place guy came back to get 2nd overall! When does this ever happen? Is this quick of a race, you rarely see someone that far behind come up and move on to state! I guess every one was just in a sense of shock after what happened to 1st and 2nd! Moral of the Story: Never Give Up!

A little Add-In:
After Bryan got rained out of a golf tourney at Quick Sand, we decided to go watch a movie we had been dying to see!! Baby Mama is sooo funny! Bryan and I laughed so much! If anybody needs a movie to watch, go see this!
