Run, DeeDee, Run!

Just wanted to take this moment to buh-rag about my beautiful (and athletic) daughter, Destiny (aka DeeDee). Yes, I am a proud Mama! Although I would be proud of her regardless of the order in which she crossed that finish line tonight…it sure was fun watching her win! She was SO proud of herself (as she should be).

She qualified for tonight’s meet by placing second in both the preliminaries, and then the finals of the first meet, last week. She then “worked out” in the neighborhood with her friends (basically ran around “the hood” lookin’ cute). Tonight was the “best of the best”…the first and second place winners from all the other elementary school track meets in the district.

Her relay team took second, go girls! Then for the fifty yard dash…Yeah! She took first place in the prelims and was so wearing her victory on her precious face…shoulders high, chest all swoll up with pride. Now for the finals…and…”Run, DeeDee, run!”

Second place by a hair!

Good job, Baby Girl, you were great! I love you so much and am (and always will be) so, so proud of you 🙂
