Dedicated

Jenna has been working hard to prepare for high school swimming and to be competitive to make State Qualifying times .... and hopefully a scholarship!

The accident put her behind physically.  Three months in a wheelchair, 4 surgeries (2 on each foot), and walking boots for most of the summer made getting into shape a very long process.

She is currently getting up at 4:15 a.m. to go swim for an hour.  She gets to school by 6:30 for early morning seminary.  She is at school from 7:50-2:55.  When she gets home I head out with her to "coach her" for yet another 2 1/2 hour swim workout.

Jenna swims 8,000 yds in the afternoon.  That is 4.5 miles!

She's dedicated.

The family is very supportive while I am helping Jenna.

I thought musical season was busy.  This takes the cake :)

Fortune interpretation

Kendall's Fortune:  You should be able to undertake and complete anything you desire.

Now when I tell Kendall that he can't do something (like eat ice cream for breakfast), he reminds me that his fortune says that "I can do anything I want".

I need to point out the word "should" to him and request to the fortune cookie manufacturers to add ... "if Mom says so".

First

Woke up the first snow fall of the season and the sound of the heater running.  I love it here!

Ask me again in a month when I can't get out of our crazy driveway because of the snow :)
