Happy Birthday Olivia!!

My beautiful daughter Olivia is turning 15 years old this Saturday. She recently competed in the USA Girls national wrestling tournament in Michigan for the second year in a row. This year she came in 4th place in the nation, in her weight class (156 lbs).


 Olivia won the New England USGWA Girls Championship on March 12th. She pinned a Sophomore (about 180 lbs) from Mass in her first match in the first period..and then pinned a Senior (165 lbs) from Conn. in the 2nd period... and then in her final match, she pinned a Junior (same weight, 156) in about 35 secs...
  
 So as a freshmen, she pinned a Sophomore, Junior and a Senior... to win her first High School championship

This Spring she is doing track (since Jr high she has done track).  Olivia is competing in the shot put, discus, and this year she is trying javelin and pole vaulting.

I AM SO PROUD of HER!!

Olivia

Enjoyed girls camp last week. She bore her testimony about her experience there and how much it meant to her spiritually. She bore her testimony at youth conference as well, prompted by the spirit.

It was so crazy to think that she attended youth conference at Troy State! Man time flies. It was so awesome for her to attend with her third cousins Hunter and Wyatt Brock. Their parents are our cousins Adam and Shanna, who live in Chipley.

Olivia wished youth conference was a whole week.  Can you believe it was also her first experience going to a dance? Wow!

I am so proud of her spiritual progress.

She and I attended the Orlando Temple and she performed family file baptisms. She always misses going with her ward, cause of coming to Tally.
