She's a Champ!!

Silver (100 back), Bronze (200 back), and Gold (400 IM relay)
Aubrey had a "coming out" I guess you'd say at this Junior Olympics. Her goal was to make sectional times ( 3 times before Olympic trial times; jr. nationals, NCAA, and then Olympic trials). She made 2 and almost 4 ( 3 seconds away from junior nationals). The reason she wanted this so bad now is so she can begin training with the national group when school starts. She set this goal a year ago and it seemed so far off and really hard to do. The coach said last night people were starting to take notice of her at the meet. Whatever, I'm just really proud of her. It takes sacrifice for all of us but she's the one who gets to all those workouts even really really early in the summer and on Christmas break. She knows this is a high and there will be lows but if she just sticks with it all she has quite a career ahead of her in swimming. She did take the time to Praise the Lord and give Him honor in her success. She is learning that it is important to look to Him in the good and the hard times.

Next up......starting high school.....iyaiayaiyaya

Michelle, for some reason your blog came up on a Google search I just did for national puppy day. :) Looks like you haven't been here in awhile, but just wanted to say hi. Your kids have all grown so much and your family is beautiful!
