The journey back home(From KC)

I wish I had some pictures from the trip back to Seattle, but I cannot access them at this point.

I was challenged and inspired by the Dragon team the whole week. I got so much more out of it this year because I am better conditioned. Toward the end of the week a little inconvenience presented itself. I realized that I had phlebitis on Thursday so I had to cut the week short. This means that I had an inflamed vein in my leg that was irritated from a bruise I got a long time ago in my shin. I went to the urgent care center on Wednesday and the doctor mis-diagnosed it as an infection and gave me an antibiotic that I was sensitive to. I went back on Thursday to get a new antibiotic but the same doctor wasn't there and the doctor that checked me said it wasn't an infection and I needed to rest it and take a different medicine. So that was the little inconvience that kept me from staying through Friday. After I told Coach Fong how grateful I was for his kindness, Aimee and I hit the road Friday morning.
On the way back Aimee was busy driving and I was sleeping most of the way. We stopped in Colorado Springs area on the way back to visit Aimee's friend Lindsey Largent from SLO. We slept on her couch and she showed us around her little town called Monument.
We had a layover day in Superior(Louisville), CO at the Cevaal's. Papa knew Mr. Cevaal at the School of Mines in Golden where they both went to school. Mr. and Mrs. Cevaal weren't there so we hung out with the kids. After going to church with them we played board games, cards, and chatted until late.
Aimee and I left early Sunday morning and headed north to Bozeman once again. Chris couldn't be there but he left us his key. By Monday we were very anxious to get home and hit the road early for the last 10 hr stretch. We got home just in time for me to make it to gym practice:P
We were both really pooped(Aimee more than me:).
I was a little sad that it all ended so fast. It's so nice when you get away from your normal daily routine and have some fun. I love traveling and learning new things. I'm so grateful everything worked out. One thing I need to remember is to enjoy every minute and never take anything for granted.
Aimee and Acacia are troopers. I love you guys.
Thank you to the Rundles.
Thank you Chris Robinson.
Thank you Papa.
Thank you little mini van for hangin' in there.
Thank you Al Fong and Dragon Gymnastics.
Thank you Lord.

Sorry for the delay. I realized I've had this saved in my list of posts for quite a while:)
ciao
