This one extends a few days into the next week to accommodate a special event.
With Football season over for our Pioneers, it was time for Lara to exit the Football Locker Room and head over to the warm and smelly wrestling room. After a day of cleaning and putting away football, wrestling, in all it's glory, was in full swing. Thursday night Lara was off to Southmoore for the first away dual of the season!
But, as usual, there is no rest for the weary! Friday morning the crew was up bright and early for a little end of semester family vacay and basketball tournament in San Antonio, Texas! We were excited for the trip, because the weather was forecast to be really bad in Stillwater, and we didn't want any part of that. Joke was on us for Friday, though. Our 7 hour drive stretched well beyond ten when we were caught in torrential downpours, construction traffic, and lots and lots of wrecks. We finally made it safely to our hotel around 7 pm that night, and all we wanted to do was SLEEP!
While in Texas and San Antonio, Lara got to do a lot of firsts. This was her first time to see Jake play with his AET teammates. She ate at her first In-And-Out Burger, and made her first Buc-ee's Pit Stop. She was a super basketball sister, and Big Sister for the whole team. she offered to run the clock, took boys drinks on the bench, and helped moms with iPhone problems! We were so glad she took the time out of her busy schedule to come on this trip with us!
In the meantime... Lara had been selected to be the junior class representative for Wrestling Homecoming. Which was Tuesday after we got home from our trip LATE on Sunday night. She found out 11 days before the event! Luckily, she was able to borrow a BEAUTIFUL Navy and Silver dress from Emma's friend Katie, awesome earrings from my friend Jennifer, made a hair appointment with Charlene, and her friend Haydn agreed to do her make up. WHEW! We were ready. Escorted by Junior Henry Warren, so she was ready to do this. It was old hat - since she was freshman attendant last year! She did a fantastic job, as expected, and we are so proud of her accomplishments! Those boys really love and respect her!
We are so thankful for everyone who came out to support her at the pep rally on Tuesday afternoon, and to the Homecoming Wrestling Dual that night. She has so many people who love her and love to cheer her on! What a bright light she shines!
