Lolo gets the Gold...and Carly learns to park

We had an awesome treat today at church. One of our church members came home to share with us while Pastor is in India. Lolo Jones wrapped things up at the end of service and she truly deserves the gold medal! You may know her from this summer's olympic games in Beijing....but to us she is family. My friends and I are in awe of how beautiful she is...you can google her to get a better pic, but she is so pretty, inside and out!
She talked today about how during her run for the gold medal, she clipped a hurdle and in the blink of an eye went from first to seventh place. It was an awesome story and she seemed so real. I can't explain how touching it was and how great it was to hear her story. Thanks HPC, for providing the platform for her to speak. She's a gold medal winner.....
Another platform that HPC provided today was their parking lot. With Carly turning 15 this year, we are getting ready for driving.....yes, driving. Carly practices going up and down the driveway, through the neighborhood (with me sitting beside her with my hand on the emergency brake, of course), but today, I drove her to the church to teach her how to park. This proved to be a little harder than I thought. Carly drives great! She's careful, she doesn't give anyone a heart attack, she really does well. Parking....not so much.....She tried, but we need more practice. Here are some pics from our day.....
Both hands on the wheel - eyes on the road. Focused.Ahh...found a space (or two) Only (1) parking cone was injured during the making of this post.
