I had so much fun hanging out with my Bestie Ocean and the other Blossoms yesterday at our Blossom hang out! Huge thank you to Yelm Gymnastics Center for hosting us, and to Dawn for arranging this fun get-together!
And just to tell you all about Ocean: she is such an amazing kid! She is a shining light in my life and I am so grateful to know her and be her mentor. Fun fact, she loves getting Starbucks so we got some starbies after the hangout 🩷
