I'm Still Kickin'!

Good morning! First of all, I want to thank all of you so much for the prayers you sent up on my behalf regarding the back pain I've been experiencing. You can't imagine how much that means to me. I did fine all weekend long, with the exception of one "episode" I had on Saturday afternoon. I was lying down on the floor on my right side watching TV with Brittany when, out of nowhere, it hit me like a ton of bricks! It was, without a doubt, the worst pain I've experienced yet. I somehow managed to get myself up and on my feet, but I couldn't stand up straight because the pain was intense. It lasted for a good 5 mins., then it went away and I haven't had one problem since. I'm anxious to see the urologist on Wednesday and hear what he has to say. I'll be sure to update when I know something myself.

Well, Brittany had her time trials on Saturday. She was pretty nervous about it. There were about 35 girls running, so it was a decent turnout. I am thrilled to report that she finished in FIRST PLACE...WOO HOO! The #2 girl was her best friend, Alicia, who was about 25 secs. behind her. From what I saw, I think the girls' and boys' team have an excellent chance of placing in the top 10 at STATE in November, if everything continues to go well. How exciting that would be!

Here they are at the start of the time trials...

Following the time trials, the boys' coach had a party for all the seniors and their families. We had so much fun!

The girls started back to school today...it sure it quite around here. I miss them! I'll post about how everything went tomorrow. Have a good one!
