On Thursday Bethany called me to tell me that she was taking me to gym early and that she had some errands to run. The so-called errand was "going to the airport to ask about baggage restrictions because Aimee had to take some things to Acacia" when she flies see her at the end of April. I thought that was funny that we had to drive all the way to the Airport for that while the rules were perfectly accessible online. But I ate it up though a little part of my brain was suspecting something funny going on.
So we drove in circles a few times around the Airport while Aimee "checked the baggage restrictions" and about the fourth time around we picked Aimee up on the curb. And there was someone else with her---MOM! Yes it took me a couple seconds for my brain to make the connection, but once it did I jumped out of the car. HE HE.
I was absolutely clueless.
Anyway that was the big surprise, Mom flew all the way from Tulsa Oklahoma to watch me compete this weekend. Yayy.
The meet was ok. I qualified for Regionals by the skin of my teeth, which wasn't really my idea of qualifying, but I did. I have a few IFs, though I won't dare make excuses and just look at the bright side of it all.
Floor: 8.1
Vault: 8.575
Bars: 8.95
Beam: 8.475
AA: 34.1(34 being the required score for Regional qualification)
I have definitely got say that my routines have gotten much much cleaner when I think about it. I know what I'm capable of and while being disappointed, I'm excited that I'm able to show better. I will stop talking about it though and get to working on my competitive attitude.
OH guess what! Papa and Mom contributed half and half to have a professional photographer take action shots of me! So I have action pictures to post! I'm so excited that everyone will be able to see me flying!
And another thing! I am proud to announce that our level 9 team got third in the team competition!
