Swimsuits. . .ARGH!!

Tonight before taking Sarah to her friend Makayla's, we went looking for her a swimsuit. She needs a new one for swim team. Did I say she is trying out for the swim team? She starts Tuesday morning at 6:45 AM! She is so excited. I am happy for her and her desire to try something new. We have gone to Costco, Academy, Target, Wal-mart, and Kohl's. She doesn't need anything flowery. She just wants a simple black or green/black swimsuit. The swimsuit really needs to be those colors, since she will representing her school. She will practice for 8 weeks and only have 1 swim meet. I like that kind of schedule!

Sarah received another letter this week saying she was a finalist . . . AGAIN! She had to write a letter to her favorite author. Anyone wonder who that might be??? You guessed it Stephenie Meyer! Anyways, she wrote a letter to her telling her how much she enjoys her books. She was a finalist out of 3,000. She didn't win a scholarship and she is OK with that. Sarah is happy to receive these honors. She said maybe she should pursue her writing. She at one point talked about writing children's books. Maybe I am raising a future author!

I absolutly dread swim suit shopping mainly because nothing is modest anymore. Even the one pieces are low cut in the chest etc. I think that places like Sports Authority etc. have the swim suites that are designed for swim team etc. I would try a sporting store and see if you have any luck. Have fun and tell her good luck for us!! Also tell her congratulations on being a finalist again!! I am very excited for the new book to some out this fall. I need to read the books again just to make sure I remember everything!!:)

That is so exciting that she's doing swim team. I tried to get Adam Jr. to do it, but he doesn't want to. Tell her congratulations on being a finalist again. That is way too cool, and soo impressive!!!
