SLIGHT LIFE CHANGING EVENT

Yesterday evening was Mimi's first gymnastic class for the summer. A couple of weeks ago you may remember that I mentioned about her tryouts for the team. Part of me wants her to be on the team because of the challenges it will provide for her on the other hand it is a little scary because we will be charting unfamiliar territory for us.

We did receive a phone call from Debbie (the woman who runs the gymnastic school) and she left a message on our voicemail that she would like to talk with us in regards to her outcome. However last night at the gymnastic class her instructor did spill the beans a little. Mimi did make the team. As of now she does not know about it since I did not tell her as of yet. Although I know that she will be super excited to know that she will be on the team with her friends Emma and Elsie.

I have not written on my facebook about this yet so if you are on facebook too, I am asking that you please not mention anything about this as of yet. Some of my neighborhood friends are on it and even they do not know yet as we have still to discuss the details with Debbie and we live in a very small town where everyone knows everyone. But I was just dying to get this news out of my system so I thought that this would be a safe place to write about it as very few people know about our blog (no one from our town or even state know about Mimi's blog). As of now Debbie is out of town. The team will be having a national competition down in San Jose this weekend and that is where she is getting things set up for the girls. Rhonda says that they will be flying Friday afternoon then Saturday Emma will be in trainning. Then Sunday and Monday Emma will be competing. I found out that this will be a HUGE competition. According to Kelly (another team mom and former neighbor) there are 50+ girls in Jaelyn's event. She said that they are used to competing against 10-12 girls in an event not 50.
