Biking to Washington, D.C.

Our friend Tina is walking from Saginaw to Chicago and back. You can learn more about her plan here: http://walshtina.blogspot.com/

She's inspired us.

Brian and I both want to be healthier, lose weight and get in better shape. So we've decided to bike to Washington, D.C. Brian's goal is one-way, mine is round trip. We plan to accomplish this by March 28, 2011, which is when we hope to leave Midland to spend Spring Break in D.C.

It's 636.5 miles each way. So round trip is 1273 miles. We have 274 days to do this. Brian's goal is 2.3 miles per day and mine is 4.6.

Wish us luck, and watch the trackers on the left to follow our progress!

Auditions for The Sound of Music

I went to my auditions for the Sound of Music. When I got there, I had to put on a little name tag that had the numbers 31. I went into the downstairs audition room and we got to sing a song. I sang "Doe a Deer". And we had to stop when a man started clapping and other people were clapping. Then it was like two and a half hours. We went into another room to practice dancing. Then we went back into the first room and read with other people. I read with another Meghan. And then when we were done we had kitty and plant duty at Patti's house. And then we went home.

I had fun and I hope I get to be in the show. But if I don't it's okay. I get to watch it because I already got a ticket for me.

School's Out (by Josh)

School's out and we are busy doing a lot of stuff now. For example, we are going to my grandma and grandpa's today and doing it for Father's Day. I'm going golfing with my uncle and my grandpa and my dad.

Looking forward to a fun summer!

Prayers, Please

Brian's mom is in the hospital (has been most of the week) with pretty serious heart issues. They haven't "fixed" the issues yet but are trying. They say she may be able to come home today or this weekend but it's not because she's "better". She's looking at the possibility of having to get a pacemaker. We know that's not the end of the world but she's really worried about it.

So please keep Brian's mom in your prayers.

Thanks.

Tigers

The Tigers lost their game last night. It was a tough one; one that shows you just how much one bad inning can change the outcome of a game.

It has been a fantastic season though. I'm so proud of Josh. His coach told him that he's one of the most improved players on the team this year. He has given it his all and done great.

City Tournament Championship Game!

And as Lauren would say... "Do your best!"
