After Christmas, we celebrated Jeremy and Cassie's wedding. Nick, Gracie and I headed to Indianola on Friday to help with all the decorating and preparation. We had the rehearsal and dinner that night. There was a lot of work that went into it all and it was a beautiful wedding. Friday was a really nice day with temps around 60 degrees. It was amazing. However, everything froze that night and we had ice and freezing rain on Saturday morning. Unfortunately a lot of people couldn't get to the wedding.
It was a very busy weekend, but so much fun to see everyone and my sister and Chad were also able to make it up for the wedding. They both helped out with kids while Nick and I performed our duties in the wedding. Gracie was so cooperative and pleasant throughout the weekend. I can't believe how well she does. (although she was a bit unhappy last night for awhile.) Jeremy and Cassie's flight to Hawaii was also cancelled due to weather, but they managed to get out of Omaha and are now probably in very nice weather in Hawaii.
Annie and I got to go wedding dress shopping on Sunday for awhile. That was so fun. We took Gracie with, too. I wish I could post some of those pictures, but that wouldn't be appropriate. She tried on some beautiful dresses. We looked for bridesmaid dresses, too. After that we met up with Chad and Nick to say good bye. It was a very busy weekend, but at the same time, not long enough! Again, I'm so glad we got to see everyone and it was a great time!

Dreams and Goals Realized

  I have to start with this.  I have been hoping and waiting to post this for so long, and it is finally a reality for Gracie!  I'm sure that November 12 will be a day remembered for a very, very long time.  This fall has been such a roller coaster of emotions for all of us, revolving around Gracie's recruiting opportunities opening with D1 schools.  September 1 began the time of uncertainty, and navigating the past couple months has been challenging to say the least.  She has always known where she wants to be, but not sure if that goal would be her reality.  She has done everything she can to put herself in that place, and she finally got the call from Coach Anderson asking if she wanted to "officially be a tiger." I have never felt more impatient than the past 2 months, and we were told to enjoy the recruiting process...ugh. NO.  I know God has a plan, but sometimes it's so hard to be patient and wait for it to unfold.  Anticipation vs Anx...

Fall Fun

Homecoming 2024! Owen is looking pretty good all dressed up And Gracie is beautiful again. Look!  We match! Chase came over to "officially" ask her to homecoming the week before the dance. She was surprised and it was a success. Homecoming parade Owen looks a little bored. But Gracie is definitely having fun The whole weekend was beautiful, sunny, and warm.   Much better than last year during the parade. Chase picked Gracie up to go to Hartsburg for pics Owen wasn't quite ready yet. I love this pic of Gracie and Kate. This is a good one, too. Kind of crazy, 3rd homecoming together. With softball friends Chase, Gracie, Kate, and Pryce Lainie and Gracie More pics with Nova The junior class met down at the Katy Trail in Hartsburg again this year for pictures.  There were a lot of kids down there.  I thought that I got a pic of Brook in there, but I can't find it.  Then Chase and Gracie went out to eat at Chick Fil-A, of all places.  Then to the dance....

Gym Season!!!

Image
It is officially the season of sitting in gyms.  Basketball and wrestling are in full force, and we have 2 high school schedules going on.  Both kids have had their team pics taken and have each competed a handful of times.  Owen has had 2 tournaments and 2 duals and is wrestling varsity at 165 pounds.  It's not the weight that he expected to be at, but so far, he is doing ok.  He weighs in at just over 160 on a good day, so we are not having to worry about cutting/maintining weight at all.  At least not yet.  So, this is great!  The downside of this is that he is a freshman in a higher weight class, which means that he will most likely see a lot of juniors and seniors in his brackets. So far he is holding his own and getting better every day. Versailles tournament Last Saturday was spent in Versailles.  This was the most recent competition.  Owen did pretty well and placed 5th going 4-1 on the day.  I think there were 19 or 20 kids...
