Girlfriend Weekend

I got to go on a Girls’ Retreat with some girlfriends I haven’t gotten together with in over 16 years. We used to hang out in Maryland. Boy, was it amazing. Stephanie (the blonde that isn’t me) and I have known each other since we were 2 years old. Lisa (the one with dark hair) lived in our stake. We became acquainted during our teenage years. Then we became closer once we hit college age. Lisa now lives in Kentucky. Lisa and I planned to meet up in “the valley” to surprise Stephanie. Stephanie was performing as the lead in the Hale Theater, Gilbert, AZ, as Ruth in “Dear Ruth”. Lisa and I showed up at her play one, Thursday night. Boy did we surprise her! She couldn’t believe we were there in flesh and blood. It was great! The play was great too and Stephanie was awesome! WOW! We hung out for 4 days together, giddy as school girls. What a cherished memory!

Krazy Kid Quote!

Today, I told Amelia she needed to go with us to the pool and wait for me and Mike while we do water aerobics, as kids aren't allowed. She said, "You didn't give me enough notice." Notice for WHAT??? To rearrange her schedule? We got a good laugh.

Summer Swim Team

Allie and Amelia participated in the Show Low Sharks swim team again this summer. Anna usually does, but she was a little burnt out and opted out. She said going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth is really boring. She did manage to sneak into the pool for a dip, a few times. The girls competed in two swim meets, doing very well for themselves. Not only did they place in the top 3 sometimes, but they beat their own best times, several times. Way to go!
