Last night Tony and I went with an Iowa group of 6 others to the Iowa vs Purdue game. We stayed overnight last night in Lafayette and came home tonight. We had a great time eating, laughing lots and sleeping in today. I'm not even going to comment on the game. I'll just say that this same group has gone to one away game a season for about 15 years now and we think we've seen them win 4 times on the road. I guess we are bad luck charms!
On the good news side of things... Madison's Flames team played two tournament games today and won them both!!! They play in the championship game tomorrow at the Invader's field in South Bend at 3pm. It was so hard to be away and missing 3 soccer games today (one was Quinn's). I guess they played so much better than last weekend and they even beat the #1 team in overtime, 2-1. Michelle said, "I don't know how you do this all the time... it's so stressful!" ha! Yes, it surely can be stressful. That's why I like to win big and sit back and relax! Madison was quite excited when I talked to her on the phone... "thrilled" would be the word I would use to describe her voice. I'm so glad we'll get to see the championship game tomorrow!
OK... speaking of knocking off a #1 team, Quinn's Flames team lost this afternoon, 0-3!! He called me to say they lost and I was waiting for him to start laughing and tease me... only he didn't and his voice sounded sad. I guess it was 0-0 until the last 10 minutes of the game and then things fell a part. We were shocked because they've had such a good season! We were fully planning on going to his championship game tomorrow (instead of Madison's). He sounded soooo disappointed. : ( He got a nice big trophy for winning the league play during the regular season and has it sitting out for us to see.
We got home at 9:15 tonight and they both are sound asleep in bed. I guess Madison melted into bed around 8:45 or so and fell fast asleep... tired from playing 2 soccer games without coming out for a break I guess. A special thanks to B&P and Michelle for keeping our kids last night and running them all over today. We bought these away game tickets in MAY... we've decided we'll have to choose a November game next year so we don't miss this big tournament weekend.
Hopefully I'll have good news to report tomorrow after Madison's game!
