Day Three Hundred and Eighty-Eight

The Late Arriver!!


I forgot my camera. And my nights just keep getting later. Bad start. Hopefully soon, I'll be able to offer a full insight into my life as of now...but until then, short little snippets will have to suffice. This is the gym I grew up in. Northwest Gymnastics Academy. I spent 24+ hours a week here as a kid...and if I do say so myself, I was a decent little gymnast. Until I grew 6 inches in 6 months. Then I was too tall. Too clumsy. Then I found pole vault. The rest is history. 


 Mike Armstrong was my coach for years. He and Dad were very good friends. And I have a feeling that they'll find a way to rekindle their friendship after all these years. Mike was around when Dad was first diagnosed, back in 2001. Everyone was so incredibly supportive at that time...and now, Mike is battling his own cancer himself. Hopefully we can be there for him just like he was for us. 


ADAM IS FINALLY HERE! He landed at 7:30 PM!! I couldn't wait to plant a big fat kiss on his cheek! He looks incredible and I'm more happy than ever to see him!


All three of us siblings are finally able to sit at a bar together! Only two more Mays children to go! Tonight's celebration was Adam's homecoming (really, more like awaycoming)! We all were happy to have him here!


The Conleys love the (almost) Gates! Notice just how much we love each other! The two boys picked black plaid. The two girls picked white. Can't get much more in sync than that! 


Oh, and Joe serenaded Ellie tonight. It was karaoke night at the small little bar and Joey got ahold of that mic! Surprisingly, he's an INCREDIBLE singer! That's talent if I've ever seen it!  

We're all just a bunch of happy campers now that Adam has arrived! I'm so excited to see him...and looking forward to the 2 weeks to come!

  1. Im so sorry I didn't get to make it to the gym. All dressed up with the baby and picking up Kaiden from cross country practice to find he had rolled his ankle and could barly walk. Ended up icing it all night and by morning it was a little better.
