Jillian is off to Holland with girls from the Kent Denver Field Hockey team and a small group of other 7th graders. She will get the opportunity to learn from some of the best players around...and it will just be a ton of fun too!
When Mallory was 11 she jumped at the chance to go to Taipei with a school group from St. Peters, and Peter and I weren't sure if Jillian would ever make a trip like that on her own. We were so excited that she really wanted to go and we had the money to send her. I think having friends on the team and having coaches that she knows and trusts made the decision that much easier.
We said our good-byes with only a couple of tears from Jilly, and then she was off with Kennedy & Sterre...without looking back. God has given me such a peace about her trip. I am so excited for her and feel so blessed to be able to give her this experience. Peter calls it the "reinvention of Jillian" as she ventures out and tries new things. We are so proud of her and know that she will have a fabulous time.
