PattisBlessedFamily: Ellie's 1st Gymnastics Meet

Ellie has become a gymnastics queen. She absolutely loves it and it is all she wants to do! She is taking two classes per week and each class is 1 1/2 hr long so she is there three hrs a week and could honestly probably be there 12 hrs and it wouldn't be enough. I am beyond happy that she has finally found what seems to be her passion. I have prayed about that for a while---that she would find something that really motivates her and I think God answered my prayer! To say she loves gymnastics is an understatement. So you can imagine how ecstatic she was when she found out that the class she is in gets to compete in some local competitions. She had her 1st competition on Sat Feb 3rd at Premier. It was a neat experience and I was so proud of her for being so confident! I don't think I could get up in front of a gym full of people and do a routine all by myself---that takes a lot of courage! She had a bar routine, a beam routine, a floor routine and a vault. She received a ribbon for each event with her best routine being her floor routine--she did amazing! She is excited to participate in three other competitions over the next month. I am so incredibly proud of my confidant and courageous gymnast!!!
