Feels like Fall





Back in Raleigh.

I did have a fabulous weekend though. On Thursday, my brother and his wife had their second child, a little girl. They named her Grace, which I really like. Justin and I decided to leave early on Friday so we could get into town before the hospital quit allowing visitors. She was so teeny! We hung out with them in the hospital for awhile and then left and did a few errands. Then we headed downtown because everyone wanted to meet up at TOTS. Then Allie arrived in town and the evening really began! We had such a great time Friday night. It was Allie and I and then a crew of boys--Justin, Mark, Joe, Dave, Ryan, Scott and Zach. They were wild. I chose to be DD which I am really glad I did. We ended not staying out all that late because of the long day to come.

Saturday we got up too early for my body (7:00 and like 40 degrees). Headed to the tailgate by 9. Justin and I decorated the tailgate with It's a Girl and pink for my brother (he came but obviously Becky and Grace didn't make it). Headed into the game and they had a Stealth bomber fly over. It was insane. Allie was so excited to get to go to her first real football game (she went to Washington and Lee). Then after the game the fun began. We stayed at our tailgate spot until 7 that night. Everyone else cleared out and there were about 2+ cases of beer left and a handle of cheer three olives vodka (yuck) left. So the boys were not allowing that to go to waste, so the field day/beer olympics began. Lots of foot races, relay races and beer chugging later.... (I only got to drink and referree because of the knee) and then the crew of us headed down town. Allie was QUITE intoxicated at this point (she didn't train since she was 18 for days like these) and so we got food and then it was determined that it was time for Allie to head home. So we were home by like 9PM. I was okay with that, I was EXHAUSTED.

Yesterday was lowkey, hung out with the little baby, justin headed home to Falls Church and Mom and I got my rental car. Headed down to Raleigh this morning and have been working at USPS all day. I am only here until Thursday though. woohoo! And this weekend is free. No travel. I am SO excited. I do have a doctor's appointment Friday morning though. My knee is getting worse and quickly. It feels to me about the same as it did before surgery. I am worried. For so many reasons. I know it can't support me (it keeps slipping out) but I am worried my doctor will just say oh well, that's what you get. I am okay if I can never compete again...i can handle that. But just the idea I cannot ever run/jog if I had to upsets me and then the thought that when we have kids that I would never be able to play around with them really bothers me. I am terrified of surgery again but I am even more scared of thinking I could never play/move around like normal again.
