This is a more personal update versus money related. Please skip and come back tomorrow for my debt update if not interested.
This past weekend was CRAZY! First Princess played in a day long tournament in a city 2.5 hours away on Saturday. We got home about 7:30pm Saturday.
Then Gymnast competed in his last regular season gymnastics meet. States is in two weeks. I was exhausted by the time we got home last night at 11pm.
But I wanted to share some video clips of this latest meet. This is his 6th year competing. His first year with a new team. And he competes as a Level 7 gymnast.

The Cheering Section
This meet was made even more special when four of our extended family members showed up to cheer him on! There were four generations of family there with us. It was awesome!

Wow, very impressive!!
Congrats to Gymnast! I recall the first videos you posted on the website…amazing how much he has grown and how much his talent has developed!
Oh, how lovely to watch him perform. Great job!
And nice to think of the good times, Hope. I know life is rough financially right now, but what wonderful times you are having with the kids. Enjoy what you can. My babies are all grown and I do miss the gymnastics meets and the basketball games and such.
Wow! He’s good. Thanks for sharing!
You definitely need to be thinking of a full-ride college gymnastics scholarship for your son down the line!
