Why go to Yakima?

We spent the weekend in Yakima cheering on Rob's little sister Stephanie and her team at the State Dance & Drill Competition...in which they placed 2nd!!

Rob and Marc weren't too into it, but they managed to stick it out.

One of my favorite performances was a school that had a whole Wicked themed dance...it was really good! At the end they turned out the lights for a big glow in the dark parade. Rob's Mom and I were sporting glow sticks around our necks...it felt quite rave-like.

Yes, it was loads of fun, but after being surrounded by all those teens for the weekend, I now know why my Dad didn't like driving my girlfriends and I to the mall. Apparently all teen girls do is shriek and giggle. ☺

I feel undeserving

A few days ago I received a loving shout out from my friend (way back from high school!), Amy and it just so happens that she *hearts* my blog (as I do hers!!).

She gave me this award and I now get to present it to seven other blogs that I love. These seven bloggers will then post the award, thank the person who gave it to them and then choose seven other blogs they would like to pass the award onto.

This was a tough choice...I read SO MANY blogs! My Google Reader is tracking ~60 blogs right now and I never get caught up with it. :) So, after much careful deliberation, I have chosen to pass this award onto
