Couldn’t be more proud…
Audrey,
This past weekend, you competed in the Kentucky State Gymnastics competition and I couldn’t have been more proud of you! You gave your best and you cheered for your teammates like you were cheering for yourself. You were just as excited for Grace and your friends. That’s what made me even prouder of you! I can’t remember which event Grace got first place but I watched you smile from ear to ear for her and give her the biggest hug! You had so much joy for her.
A very important lesson in life is to celebrate other people’s accomplishments, to truly be happy for them. Keep being you Audrey because your mom and dad know that You are Awesome!!
Now, I’ll brag on you. You got First place on the trampoline, First place on the double mini, and Third place on your floor routine! That is amazing!!!! You have worked so hard and you have come so far!! The sky is the limit for you! What’s funny is your dad is learning more about these gymnastics competitions but I still don’t know much about how the scoring works. But, when I watched your trampoline performance, it looked perfect and I knew you had a chance to win. The same thing with the double mini. You stuck your landings perfect and I knew it was really really good. Way to go girl!
You are unbelievably talented and I know that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. While I want time to slow down and savor these moments, I can’t wait to see all the things you accomplish in your life. Remember, always put God first, celebrate and cheer for others, and always give your best effort. You’ll win some and you’ll lose some, but as long as you give your best…that’s what matters most. I couldn’t have been prouder of you this weekend for the character you shown even if you had been in last place. Winning was just a little icing on the cake. Love you girl! Your daddy is so proud!

But I can’t stop there…WOW…your piano recital! You were amazing again. Another proof that when you put your mind to it you can do anything. In such a short time, you’ve learned so much. You’re so talented! Your taking piano lessons now from my elementary school librarian, Mrs. Vance (Arnold). You have advanced really quickly even though you don’t practice as much as you should😉😂. I love you girl. Keep it up! You’re gonna do big things!
