Breaking News:
God's Girlz took 1st place in the Southwest Region (in case you couldn't tell from the title!).
All season we had 2 teams because there are 6 girls. Only 3 can be at the table at one time so in an effort to give all the girls time at the table, we split into 2 God's Girlz teams. They combined at State into 1 team. Three of the girls' families decided not to go on to Regionals in California last week. We went with one other family to San Jose. All 3 girls were also in the top 10 for individual high points-Hannah was 4th while the 2 others took 3rd & 9th. Their record was 13-2.
We struggled with whether we should go or not. After much prayer,a little stress, & an anonymous vote, we obviously decided to go. Other teams with more experience at this "A" level of TBQ told us (in a nice way) that we shouldn't expect to do well at our 1st time at Regionals. These girls studied extra hard in the weeks between State & Regionals to learn a lot more info than the 8 books they had already memorized and it showed. We are so proud of them!! They earned a spot at Nationals but due to costs, we can't afford the week long trip to Florida in July. But it IS quite an honor to have earned that spot.
We took the long way home and made a vacation out of this trip since we were already in CA. More pictures coming of a visit to a cool tide pool,Pier 39,Knott's Berry Farm, and Coronado Island.
