Suprise Endings and Beginnings

My girls' basketball team ended up getting 2nd in State. It was quite amazing. I don't think anyone, not even themselves, was expecting to do that good. I didn't think they could even get out of Divisionals, but they surprised me and everyone else.

Because of their Championship game I didn't get to leave for my 'rents place til Sunday. I had to stop in Utah for the night and drive the rest of the way Monday. I was a little nervous to be heading there seeing as how I had written a letter about 3 weeks before to come out to them. I had gotten an email in response to the letter saying they were shocked and they weren't ready to deal with it long distance so when I got there we would have a chat about it. I was not looking forward to this "chat." Anyway, I got there pretty early Monday morning, just in time to go grocery shopping with my mom. We stopped at Starbucks and my mom leaned over and grabbed my knee and said, "Me and dad have been praying about this whole thing and God said, 'you love her and that's enough.' So we're gonna leave it at that. We will always love you, no matter what. And that means no "talk."

Needless to say, I was stunned. And relieved. The rest of the trip was great. My mom would ask questions once in awhile but nothing too big a deal. I know they aren't necessarily cool with it but they are trusting me to live my own life. So all in all it turned out good. It has been a good couple weeks. Anyway, track season is upon us, that means no more getting home after 9pm because of practice. Yay!
