Here's a shout out to my BFF Britt and Dad Beck on their marathon in Napa Valley today!!
We finally made it to Texas and I'm FINALLY getting a break from the chaos of school! Actually, I just threw myself into a different type of craziness such is Jarod Palmer's life (last night, I took Christmas decorations down), but that's OK with me. We had a semi-relaxing trip to Texas... Sammy semi-behaved himself.
We were the first to board, so we got to watch everyone else get on the plane, and I see tons of guys in suits. One of them sits next to me, and I ask "Are you all going to a convention or something?" Of course they aren't. haha. Turns out, they were the Syracuse Crunch, the team that Jarod was going to be playing that Friday. Lucky us. The trip turned out to be super awk.
Not only did Sammy continually rub the poor man's leg with his foot, he was watching a movie on his iPad, and Sam wanted to watch too. He spent two hours leaned over trying to watch the movie with him (successfully) and tried to talk to him. Of course the jerk continued to ignore the poor 5 month old. What does Sam do? Get louder...and louder...and louder. He got so upset, he started to cry. The only toy I brought on the plane was his butterfly, so I kept flapping it around, and Sam loved it, until it was his turn. The poor butterfly went for quite a ride. Sam sure did let him fly...right into the guy next to us. That's what he gets for ignoring my baby!
Along this trip, Sam of course takes the opportunity to take biggest dump of his life. Not one of the quiet ones either, he had a bit of a struggle and let everyone know what he was doing. And of course he waited until 25 minutes til landing, meaning, we couldn't get out of our seats. I honestly don't even know where you can change a baby on a plane. Is that possible? He thankfully made it OK, and he was soo excited to see his Dad.
I'm so happy be here and I've decided this is quite a nice family I have. Sam is a pretty good baby, although he has his kinks. Jarod is the best ever. Only he could understand when I say "I'm going to drink this glass of wine and pass out. You have to put Sam to sleep" and just say "Wow, that's a big cup...but you deserve it."
It's been a sweet trip so far, Sam lights up every time he sees his dad. I take this as a good sign. Only a few more years until Jarod starts embarrassing Sam on the reg!
Did you know? The name "marathon" comes from the Greek city Marathon where war messenger ran (without stopping) 26.2 miles to deliver a message saying the Persians had been defeated... then collapsed and died.
