London Day One (sort of)

Not in London just yet but it still counts as day one of the experience. Mandy and I had a breeze getting through the ticket line and then through security. (We wont mention Mandy's left sandal and the need for it to go through security in it's own container). We ate at a Blue Mesa here at the airport. Mandy did not want to go into the Admiral's Club even though I had a pass. She said we were under-dressed and under other things. :)

We are on cloud nine after attending our son Zander's soccer game. It was hot and only 4 kids showed up for the game. The other team had 9 players. Our kids fell behind 2 to 0 early but then scored and gained some confidence. When it was all over an hour later, our Gunter Tiger team won 5 to 3. My son scored 3 goals and even more important, he never gave up hustling. From the starting to the final whistle, he ran hard, passed smart, and gave it his all under tough odds. We are so proud of him. The parents and coach of the other teams were full of congratulations at our victory and could not believe the fight our 4 kids put up for the entire game. They said they deserved to lose to our team.. with all the extra hustle our kids put forth. (I think the Sherman team always believed we would wear out and they would end up winning. Just didn't happen!)

Mandy is getting excited and is looking forward to trying to sleep on the plane. I hope we can get "some" rest in our two seats. I pray God blesses this trip. For IFL and for Mandy. I am so thankful God allowed us to combine work and our 10 year anniversary. God is good! Look out Queen, here comes the Turners.
