Warrior Season Opener

Last weekend I left sunny, 70 degree Florida for 10 degree Pennsylvania. That could only mean one thing...Lyco's season opener!!

Maxwell had been cleared to play the week before (mono) but was a little unsure about his play time. He was having a hard time figuring out where he was going to fit into the game plan. Not having played at all during preseason left him feeling a little disconnected.

That lasted about 2 minutes into the game though. For the second year in a row Moose had the season opening goal for the Warriors!!

I had a great weekend with him. More than ever, he seemed like his happy, confident self. He's never going to not worry and he's never going to cut himself slack, but he has an ease about him again. I miss him like crazy and am already counting the days until we're all up there again. Hopefully, it's warmed up a bit by then!
Don't let the blue skies and shorts fool you...

I told Maxwell that if I hadn't been at the game in person, and had seen this
happen on the live stream, I would've been on the first plane into Williamsport.
I was already losing sleep because of his mono...this would've put me over the edge!
Thankfully it was just a contusion though.

Florida Farewell

Image
Our last sunset in Florida didn't disappoint.  Honestly, it wasn't an emotional farewell though.  I always felt like our time in Florida was fleeting. As a family, we transitioned the kids in and out of the house over summers, and in and out again. In two short years we transitioned through different schools and jobs and friends. These last two years especially, I felt like a transient. Never quite settled.  Now, it's time to settle. I'd like to plant some roots, even if they aren't deep and forever at our next assignment. Like us, they just need to be strong for the season.  Eglin AFB, Florida  1 June 2023

AmeriCorps and the real world called.   The day after we got back home from Colorado, Maxwell was off. It should've been two days after we got home, but we missed our original flight and...anyhow.  On that Tuesday morning, Matt and Henry went to work, and Maxwell, Viv and I loaded up the U-Haul and headed to Knoxville. Viv was so excited to be a part of this moving crew...she was always in school when he left for Lyco so this was her first official move-in. There was a lot of driving, a lot of sweat, and (as always) some tears, but the three of us got it done!  Go answer that call, Moose. Go out and do great things!! Tennessee River Line Project  Day 1!
