Day Trip

This Saturday we (Dad, Greg, Ivy and I) had the opportunity to go up to Montreat to see Allie and watch her team in a match against Brenau University. (The picture on that article is of Allie!) The team played so well and we had a blast watching "real volleyball" (As much as I love playing pick-up games with M28 or at picnics, there's just something about watching an official team play. They cover the court so well and the volleys are so exciting to watch).

After the game, we went out to our favorite pizza place up in Montreat, My Father's Pizza. Seriously, if you are ever up that way, check it out. Dad was concerned that Allie might tire of it, since they get pizza there every time they go up, but I'm pretty sure that it's in the Baumgartner genes to LOVE pizza. Allie agreed =)

Speaking of Allie . . . she's been coming down with what she thought was a bad cold for the past week. After seeing her and hearing her difficulty in breathing on Saturday, Dad encouraged her to see the school nurse on Monday. She was originally diagnosed with walking pneumonia and sent to the urgent care center but the doctors there changed the diagnosis to an upper respiratory infection (which is apparently the better of two evils) and put her on a strong antibiotic. If you are able, pray that she would be healed quickly and that the infection would not travel deeper into her respiratory system.

I'm glad Montreat is not far away and it makes a great day trip! I'll be praying that Allie gets better quickly! Hey, can you send me her address, and some things she likes, I'd like to send her a "care package".

Sisters are the best! So glad you are getting to visit Allie as much as you can. Looks like an amazing place to visit too!
