WOW, WHAT A FANTASTIC TRIP! WE HAD SUCH A WONDERUL TIME. WE WERE DRESSED IN THE TEAM COLORS SO YOU COULD TELL WHO WE WERE WITH ... WE ARE NOW THE UNOFFICIAL "MOM & DAD" OF THEIR SIFE TEAM! 1st OFF, WE THOUGHT IT WAS 480-500 MILES ... WELL,WE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT WAS ROUND TRIP ESTIMATES SO, IT ONLY TOOK US 3 HOURS TO GET THERE. WE WERE REALLY TIRED WHEN WE ARRIVED SO WE GOT A ROOM FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS TO NAP ... OH MY GOSH ... THEY HAD THOSE "HEAVENLY" BEDS THAT ARE SO PUFFY & SOFT ON TOP ... WE WERE ASLEEP IN NO TIME. NATALIE BROUGHT US OUR PASSES & SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL IN HER OUTFIT - THE TEAM HAD MATCHING OUTFITS, OF COURSE. WE SAT IN ON OTHER COLLEGE'S PRESENTATIONS. THEN, WE GOT TO WATCH NAT'S SIFE GROUP &, WITH A MOM'S PRIDE, THEY WERE FANTASTIC. THE DRAMA COACH AT BLUE RIDGE CC HAD WORKED WITH THEM & YOU COULD REALLY TELL IT. THEY MET ALL 6 CRITERIA & THEIR VIDEO PRESENTATION WAS VERY EXCITING INSTEAD OF JUST DRY STATISTICS. ALL THE HARD WORK PAID OFF BECAUSE THEY SWEPT ALL 6 CRITERIA COMPETITIONS & WON THE OVERALL COMPETITION IN THEIR LEAGUE, WHICH MEANS THEY ARE GOING TO THE NATIONAL COMPETITION IN MAY IN KANSAS CITY, MO WITH THE "BIG BOYS". ONLY 2 COLLEGES SWEPT THEIR LEAGUE, ST PAUL'S & BLUE RIDGE. THE AMAZING THING IS THAT BLUE RIDGE IS ONE OF ONLY 2, 2-YEAR COLLEGES COMPETING. ALL OTHER COLLEGES ARE 4-YEAR COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES. SO, "THE LITTLE ENGINE WHO COULD" CAME THROUGH WITH FLYING COLORS! BUT, MS REBECCA (THEIR ADVISOR) WARNED THEM THAT THIS COMPETITION WAS A "CAKE WALK" IN COMPARISON TO THE NATIONALS ... VERY, VERY COMPETITIVE THERE SO THEY HAVE A TON OF PAPERWORK & A LOT MORE PRACTICES TO DO IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO. I WAS PLEASED WITH MY EATING CHOICES ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T GET ALL MY FLUIDS IN. WE TOOK OUR POWER CRUNCH PROTEIN BARS TO FILL IN INSTEAD OF EATING OUT ALL THE TIME & I ATE THE CHICKEN PART OF THE LUNCH SALAD DISH. THEY SERVED A GORGEOUS APPLE PASTRY BUT AFTER NICK TOOK 2 BITES & PRONOUNCED HOW DELICIOUS (& SUGARY) IT WAS, I COMPLETELY PASSED ON DESSERT. I HAD A COUPLE BITES OF CATFISH AT CRACKER BARREL FOR DINNER & WHEN WE CAME HOME, NICK WANTED TO GET A SNACK SINCE WE ATE DINNER EARLY BUT, I WASN'T HUNGRY SO I JUST HAD COFFEE. EVEN THOUGH MY HANDS & FEET ARE SWOLLEN FROM TRAVELING (I'VE ALWAYS DONE THIS), I DIDN'T GAIN ANY WEIGHT SO I'M PLEASED! YEAH WLS!!!! GOD BLESS Y'ALL DAWN & NICK
