Whenever I would go to one of Tashena's volleyball games, basketball games, or track meets, I always envisioned going on a road trip to see her play one of these sports on the college level some day. Yesterday that actually happened! Tashena is on the volleyball team at Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake, Washington and the Vikings had a road game against Treasure Valley Community College in Ontario, Oregon (which is a five hour drive from SLC). We decided to surprise her and go to the game so Kristine and Trent rented a van and my Mom, Marilyn, and I joined them. It was such a fun road trip.
Tashena had no idea that we were coming and I will never forget the look on her face when she saw my Mom walk in the gym! She ran over to her and hugged her with tears in her eyes! Every minute of the five hour drive was worth it for that moment! She was so happy to see all of us and I have to admit that I also had a tear in my eye because I have really missed her. Big Bend ended up losing in three sets but they were close and it was a lot of fun to watch them play.
We sure do love this girl and we are so proud of her!
It was really hard to say goodbye but we will get to see her again soon at Thanksgiving! We are already planning some epic games of Shanghai rummy!
