Visiting with old friends

Catherine had a cross country meet in a "neighboring" community (I use quotes because it is still 30 minutes away...we live close to very little out here).  Andrew had conferences so I left Robert and Thomas here and made the drive myself.  She set a new PR, and we are very pleased that she is no longer walking during the races.  We will take what we can get when it comes to her.

As I pulled into the park where the meet was being held, I was delighted to see some decals from our former community.  I whipped out my cell when I realized some friends would be there and was able to not only locate them, but visit with so many other friendly faces as well.  I was grateful that many of them (who have sons) stayed to watch the girls race as well and Catherine had quite a cheering section when she finished.  Catherine was also very excited to be able to visit with former classmates and they were all genuinely pleased to see her.

I am so grateful for all of the relationships we had in our former community, and I am even more grateful for the opportunity to reconnect!
