Friday morning was regions polo. I played well (I even started throwing elbows--Dad was excited!), but as a team we struggled and didn't make it past the first round of the regional tournament.
Friday afternoon we set up for RFL and I was really excited! Everything was going as planned (minus the fact that the head guy of volunteering for the entire event didn't show up until 5 hours after he was supposed to), and I was stoked. Opening ceremony was awesome, and seeing the Hettiger family there was special. Luminaria Ceremony was moving- I should've known when they opened with "Amazing Grace" that I had no hope of staying tear-free. I bawled. Luckily, so did a lot of people. Getting surprised with the biggest ice-cream bowl ever was exciting. Things were going great until about midnight, then went downhill VERY quickly and the remaining 6 hours was a struggle to stay positive about.
Saturday morning I got home from RFL and went straight to bed. Sleep is always good! I woke up and went to dinner with Dad and Kole, and went back to bed in a hurry. Saturday night redeemed itself from the first 6 hours of Saturday.
This morning I woke up bright and early and headed off to Cho for the day. As always, simply amazing. I knew leaving today that I definitely needed that time to re-energize, refocus, and motivate me to finish out the year. When I got home before I even got to say hi to my Grandpa (dad's dad) who is in town, I was confronted with bad news. Grandma Jen (mom's mom) is in the hospital. Spent some time trying to navigate through the hospital phone system in order to talk to her and hear her voice.
I really want this up and down, loopdy-loop, crazy insane roller coaster to turn into a baby roller coaster with only minor bumps every once in a while, rather than huge mountains around every corner!!!
