Gymnastics
If your friends with me on Facebook, you already know the place where Meghan does gymnastics is going out of business. Meghan's last day of gymnastics will be
March 31st. Meghan and her friends were seriously crying for days. They couldn't move on from this unexpected news. It was like there life had been turned completely upside down. Meghan has been doing competitive gymnastics for the last 4 years, 20 hours a week. I was even sad about it. I can't picture my life without Meghan's gymnastics. Meghan's coach had a meeting with the parents last week. The coach basically said she has done everything to try and keep the gym open. She's gone to the city, county etc... The recession has finally hit our pretty "well off" resort town. There's no going back now.
Basically, we only have one option. That option is to join the team in Aspen. I'm hesitant ( as well as the other parents). Aspen is about 25 minutes away. I'm sure you already know Aspen is a pretty high class town with many celebrities and their kids living there. Everyone living there are basically millionaires. No exaggeration. I really don't want to be in that environment. Maybe everyone is really nice, but my first thought is snobby. Do I want to deal with that? Do I want Meghan to deal with that?
I don't want Meghan to quit gymnastics. Meghan wants to join the Aspen team, but she doesn't realize the type of people we could run into. If you don't know already, we aren't millionaires. I'm sure the team in Aspen is going to be much more expensive.
I'm still trying to get Meghan to take the next session off. That way we can think about it more, and get out of the "snowy" season. March and April is when we get most of our snow. The last thing I want to do if fight the weather/road conditions to get Meghan to gymnastics daily.
What should I do?

Young Women
Meghan was welcomed to Young Women's last week. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend. I had to work, of course. Meghan is really excited to be out of primary and into YW! She will officially start YW in a few months.
