So many memories in the last month!! Thank you all for praying for me - I was able to survive and enjoy the tournaments, and the weakness and allergic reaction were soon gone. March 5-8 I went to an amazing National Open in Illinois - quite the experience, and I was very grateful to have the opportunity of competing at an Open again. Not only did the rounds and results go very well, I met new people, spent time with my dear friends, and saw God's hand keeping me strong and able to compete. The following pictures are a few of my favorites from that week....

The following week, Laurel, Mama and I went to the New Jersey Qualifier! So many friends (as well as Laurel) ranked really well, and it was a privilege to see their excitement. Here are a couple shots from that week.
From March 21-24, CT had its 3rd qualifier - SHINE. Since we live close by, two families got to come stay with us for the week! It was a blast and we had an amazing time. Neat to see my big sister in TP Finals. And then she won Extemp! I followed her around with a camera, video taping her speeches and debate round clips, and taking lots of pictures ~ it was her last NCFCA qualifier...hard to imagine.
Here are some pictures from throughout the tournament....

So - these last few weeks have been quite something. Lots of joyful, smiling, happy, sweet moments, and lots of memories! Thanks to all who made these tournaments a success! NCFCA is an outstanding gift, and Reg10n especially holds a special place in my heart.
