Jenni's Seasons

Wow, this month is flying! We've had our first couple of really chilly mornings and dreary days (including today). . .boo.  But, last weekend in Chattanooga we had   perfect weather for Robert's CrossFit competition. Linking up with Erika and Andrea this week for Friday Favorites Robert invited us down for his gym's competition, that started at 8:30 a.m. (it's about a 90-min drive) and a couple of his friends came too.  I can't believe that I didn't get a picture of his friends together. . .we all went to lunch afterwards and I must have put my camera away by then.  Here was Robert's partner in the competition: The top 5 teams advanced to the finals. . .they were 1 point away from 5th place.  They said the last event was brutal so they were "ok" with not making it (this time).  Robert's other roommate, Ryan, did come in 2nd place in another division -- we've known him for years and were so happy for that achievement for him.

  Here we are, the first weekend in October.  I can't hardly believe it -- September just flew .  Not much has been going on around here but trying to keep up the discipline of checking in and creating memories in the small things :) Although I don't know that this day would have been considered "small". . .did you catch my post on Monday ?  Still a favorite from last weekend. . .the Volunteers have a week off this week so we can relax  and enjoy football without a horse in the race :) I'm linking up with other bloggers at the party Erika and Andrea host each week.   After scrolling through my list, click on one of their blog links and see what their favorites are from this week.  Spoiler alert - I already read them and Andrea shared some great fall finds (with links!) and Erika shared a candle line that is new-to-me. My first favorite is a blog post I read this week - Shay's Ways - 21 Keys to Elevating the Everyday .  Please  click on the link and read th

  Look at where we got to go and what we got to do this weekend!!!  TN vs SC -- it was a rematch all Volunteers were looking forward to and our players did not disappoint :) Not the best picture - it was after 11 p.m. (WAY past Tom's bedtime - ha!) and the lighting wasn't great, but this picture captures so much happiness. I'm linking up with Sarah and Holly this morning for Hello Monday. Always great to link up with others to see how they rounded out September 2023 :) Saturday morning I had a tennis match and got to play with this partner again -  She and I met years ago on a mixed team when we were lower-ranked players and have continued to play on some teams throughout the years as well as just "fun play" when schedules line up.  She has a wicked  slice serve that I always tell people, "I knew I was a more confident player when I stopped being nervous when she was serving to me".  the 4.0 we played against this weekend hadn't ever experienced her
