Yesterday a box arrived in the mail from The Farmhouse. Rachael always sends such fabulous gifts and this time was no different. I received an assortment of fun notecards, some of which were from an adorable company called Hoote + Annie. The timing on the package was perfect because I had actually just been thinking about my friends in Atlanta.
This past week--the week in which I did not post a single blog because it had come down to a nightly critical choice between three good hours of sleep or a post for y'all--we spent nearly every night in a hotel. Early in the week, we took a 36 hour trip to our state capitol in Sacramento, spending 14 hours of that time in a school van with our robotics team. We had a day to repack and spent the rest of the week at the Los Angeles Regional FIRST Robotics Competition where our robotics team won the most prestigious award given to a team at a regional event, The Chairman's Award.
Other than a big blue banner, two giant trophies, and medals for the whole team, the award granted our team a place at the Championship event in Atlanta, Georgia this April. I'm feeling a craving for some chicken and waffles, some grits, and some sweet tea.
go Eagles! Couldn't take the school vans on a side trip to the Bay Area?

Let me know when you and Will want to go get some pasta with us!
Also, let me know when the competition starts. The Marching Abominables are performing. (I know some of them, and they're HIGH-larious!)
