7. Favorite Quote or Words of Wisdom: There are so many great quotes from my family and friends – here are 3 that I just have to share!
• From my 92 year old grandmother while we were playing volleyball (seriously – you should see her serve) – “I just feel so much better than when I was in my 80’s!”
• From my sister Amy while she was running a marathon and was the lead woman by a long shot. Here’s our conversation as she ran by.
Amy: “What place am I?”
Me: “You’re 1st!”
Amy: (she is now rolling her eyes with an exasperated look that says to me, DUH!!) – “What place am I with the MEN!!”
• From my friend who is the sweetest person you’d ever meet. (I have to edit this for language) – “Jenny, harden the bleep up!”
