BGSU Visit and Club Volleyball Tournament!

Steve and I really wanted to make sure we saw AJ play club volleyball this year. So when he needed to be in the US the same week as Rachel's longest soccer tournament we made a plan.

I flew into Detroit, where Stefanie surprised me at the airport I was so psyched to exit out of baggage claim and find her there.  We picked up my car and headed to BGSU to collect AJ, then we drove to Hudson for a quick visit with my parents.

We spent the next day running errands, Christmas shopping and just having fun. Then we picked up Steve at the airport and headed back to BGSU. Steve finally got to see Stefanie's dorm room and AJ's apartment too! Of course we had dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings, if you know AJ, you know this is his favorite place!

AJ's tournament was at Michigan State. It was really great fun to watch him play with his team. There were some exciting games. They went 3-1 for the day although we missed the last game.  The tournament was woefully behind schedule and they didn't play their last game until nearly midnight. We do love watching #4 play!

When the game is close, Mom gets nervous...

The next day they won their first two games and then lost in the finals to take second place.  We were so happy that we got to watch him and his team play. Stefanie even served as a coach the second day.

That evening we had a great time spending time with the two of them, going to dinner and just hanging out.  Things people who live close to where their kids go to college get to do all the time. Yes, I'm a little jealous.

The next day Steve had an early flight but I had a late one.  Stef and I shopped while AJ went to class and then it was one last lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings.
