Just In Case You Forgot...

Bryce and I REALLY ARE friends with an olympic gold medalist. Breeja Larson is an incredible athlete. In high school, she loved to play volleyball. But she needed a way to pay for college, and didn't think she would be able to get a good scholarship from volleyball. So, in her junior year of high school, she joined the swim team. She thought that if she could get good at swimming, she would be able to get a scholarship. So that is what she did. She did so well in her junior and senior years on the swim team that she was able to get a scholarship. Surprisingly, in her first year of college, she started breaking all kinds of records for the NCAA. She did so well that she qualified for the olympic trials. That is where her olympic dream was born. In the 100 m breast stroke trial, she got first place, beating out Rebecca Soni and Jessica Hardy. This came to a shock to everyone, because Breeja had only been swimming competitively for a couple years. We cheered on Breeja in all of her races in London. She came home with a gold medal in the 400m medley relay. 

Anyway, of course, like any good friends would do, we invited her to our dance party.... and told her to bring her medal so that we could take pictures with her hahaha. :) So here is what we got!
