Flying(literally) by the Seat of Our Pants

As most of you know, both Hays and I graduated from Delta State University. We try to be diligent alumni and continue to keep up with what is going on around campus. We try to make at least 2 trips back a year to attend baseball and football games. What can I say, we LOVE our school and miss being there.

The Delta State baseball team were in the Division II playoffs this year. They made it to the Championship game by the skin of their teeth by winning a game that was played last Friday at 10am. At about 1pm Friday Hays and I decided we would make the trip to North Carolina to see them play in the Championship. This was way out of the box for me. I am a BIG planner and usually would never decide on the spur of the moment to take a trip like this.  BUT we have a close friend, Jay that is a commercial pilot that can get us cheap plane tickets. So we talked Jay and Rebecca into going with us and were on our way within 16 hours of making the decision.

Even with a 3 month in tow and 2 very long days in the airport we had a fantastic time. Delta State ended up losing 9 to 0 (I know, it was bad, really bad). That's okay, they put up a big fight to get there and we will be back next year. Go Fighting Okra!



Ford's first DSU baseball game. Who would have thought it would be in North Carolina (gotta be sure to record this in the baby book).

Aunt Rebecca and Uncle Jay

. Not sure what we would do without great friends that will agree to do crazy, spur of the moment things with us. Love them.

Coach Boo Ferriss, Hays and Ford

Boo played with the Red Sox and also coached the DSU baseball team. Hays LOVES! him and was pumped about getting a picture with him and Ford. Sweet moment.
