Brad's birthday was on the 3rd and since he didn't have to work I made him breakfast in bed. I am not a big breakfast maker so it was a miracle I didn't burn anything. It was nice to spend the day with him and I am glad to have such a hard working husband!
One thing we are learning about the east is that they love their football! Anything from young kids, high school, to Virginia Tech is great to them. The regulars who I see at the YMCA, while I work, love to talk about the local high school team and talk stats. Brad and I decided to go out one Friday and experience all this hoopla about football. Here below is a picture that I took while sitting in the Salem High Schools football field. It is HUGE! The turf is artificial and the stands you see are the guest side, the home is a lot bigger. I can't tell you exactly how many people were there but I can imagine 2,500 people were there. It is a whole town thing!
This Saturday Brad and I got the chance to help out at a Triathlon that the YMCA put on. It was up at Smith Mountain Lake which is about an hour from where we lived. It was a gorgeous drive and a very pretty state park. We told the participants where to go when they were biking and running, so a lot of pointing and giving directions. Brad and I only got yelled at once for not giving precise directions so I saw we did pretty good!
And lastly I will give you a little preview of my growing bump! I am 32 weeks and doing well! He has the hiccups a ton and I can feel his movements more strong. I don't feel ready for him to come but get excited when I think about it! Brad has been awesome and has been going with me to a birthing class. He is a great support person!
