Happy Thursday meatballs. Welcome to the Meatball pod. We are back and we missed you. And we have a lot to catch up on, D.

Yeah, I know. We missed you meatballs. But I was out, you know, soaking the sun in Aruba. So,

honestly, I could have stayed there another week.

Oh my God. So much fun. And I was trying to get the show done. Um, but then I totally forgot

that I had to go to Oklahoma, um, because Giovanna had a cheer competition. So I was just

frazzled and I couldn't get to you guys last week. So I'm like, you know what?

We'll just wait until Tina gets back and then we'll have our show. Yeah. It's okay.

And I saw that Sissy freaking, she took the championship, right? Yeah. So Sissy won National

champ. And then what I love about CJA and not all gyms do this I feel like no gyms do this

but instead of keeping the banner for the gym they always give the banner to one of the teammates on

the team who's you know just like doing outstanding and like you know trying their best so they always

like honor the kids at the end and Giovanna ended up getting honored with the banner this weekend at the cheer comp

So I screamed and I was like crying like drama but I'm just so proud of her so she killed it so proud of her

And she's isn't she the young one of the youngest on the team? Yeah, she's the second youngest. So, yeah, some of those girls are a bit,

like, tall, big girls. I was like, oh yeah, they're like 16. I know. So I'm really proud of

her. She had a great time. I had a great time. But I really want to talk about Aruba. I was living

for your story. It looked so beautiful. And I was like starting to feel like sick a little bit.

So watching your stories in bed made me feel happy like I was there.

Like I felt like I was with you on vacation.

I know.

That's why I kept doing stories.

We were like, please keep doing stories.
