WOW

What a crazy Wednesday - started early in the morning and ended late at night - which is normal for me - however - big events this day!!!!

Region Swim Meet - Parker finished the swim season strong and blonde! The 5:15 a.m. practices are now a distant memory (whew)! Saturday mornings are once again wide open! The chlorine smell will gradually disappear (his sheets and farts both smelled like chlorine the past 5 months). He only whined a couple of times and made some great friends. That's one thing about the swim team, you do have a good support system. It is not a glory sport and takes a ton of self motivation and dedication. But it is a great sport that builds muscle, confidence and a workout that you can do your entire life!!!!


NEXT......the papers were supposed to come for Sister Wood! We got home from the swim meet - checked the mail box - THERE IT WAS!!! Bluegrass was playing on the radio and Evan thought - Tennessee! I got a wierd feeling in my stomach - hoping NOT Africa! Texted MK, PJW and PSW the news. Meranda had work (softball practice) from 4:00 - 7:00 - hoped to be able to leave early - didn't work out. She left Logan at 7:15 - arrived in WVC at 8:45 - opened the envelope at 8:47! She was so overwhelmed - excited - that she had a hard time reading the letter - but did get out "PARAGUAY"! Wow.....what a surprise. We had all made our guesses - none of which was Paraguay. Meranda is so excited. She already has a great "Mexican" accent!

She can't wait to serve the Lord. She starts traveling next week with the softball team. The semester should fly by and she will graduate in May from USU. Then we can start the shopping!


Life never gets boring at our house!
