No major events from the weekend to share. We were busy, though. The weekend was all about preparing to be social then actually being social around the pool.
Saturday night we had L’s basketball team over for a final get together to celebrate the season. Eight of the nine girls came and most of the parents hung out. The girls had a good time and enjoyed their final night together as a single team.
Sunday afternoon we repeated the gathering, this time with our three closest neighbors. It was the first time we have had these families over together despite the newest of them living by us for two years now. That’s what happens when you have big lots and aren’t right next to each other, I guess.
Anyway it was a fun evening. That newest family moved here from Kansas City, and a few of my readers even know them. The husband of that couple went to Missouri for law school while the wife went to KU for two years before transferring elsewhere to graduate. We don’t know the couple that lives between our houses nearly as well, as they are almost never outside to say hello to. But we did know that the wife of the couple is originally from Kansas and moved to Indiana to go to Purdue. So I was both shocked and thrilled when, after getting their baby up from his nap, he came over wearing a onesie with a big, beautiful Jayhawk on it. Apparently momma did not lose her love for KU when she became a Boilermaker.
So in our little three-house line in Indianapolis we have one full Jayhawk, one partial Jayhawk, and one Jayhawk lover. Even the MU guy told M, when she mentioned how we visited Lawrence last year, “Oh, you would have 100% gone to KU if your dad had taken you to a basketball game.”
The only other big moment of the weekend was M getting her move-in time at UC. Our 15 minute window to access the drop-off area is at 10:00 AM, August 12. Fortunately since she is rushing she gets into the early window, three days before general move-in begins. I’m sure it will still be busy. And either 98° or pouring rain.
