Grateful Days 2012, Day 15: Volleyball

Image
By
Tuesday night is my sports and fitness night.  It really is.  At about 8:30 p.m., I take off and head to the stake center for volleyball and basketball.  We have a half court for basketball, and one court set up for volleyball.  Recently, we haven't had enough women come who want to play basketball, but I'm hoping it will change soon.

This last Tuesday night, there were only five of us on the court.  We ended up eventually playing volleyball two-on-two.  And, despite the lack of team members, it was a great workout!  I mean, we had to run to get to the ball because there wasn't anyone else there.

Anyway, I LOVE volleyball night!  I live for it.  In fact, this last Tuesday, we finished our games and I was still ready for more!  The only thing is that we can't start playing any earlier.  The last weekend of September, Jon and I invited a bunch of couples to come and play volleyball together for a group date.  It was absolutely awesome!  We had enough people that both courts were filled with players rotating into games.  We played from 7:30 p.m. until 12 a.m.  And, I still wanted to play some more.

So, today, I am grateful for volleyball ... it really helps me to focus and be more in tune with me the rest of the week.

Haha! This post makes me laugh! Growing up with volleyball fanatics I can understand your drive. Do you remember going to Vball games with me in High school? Ahhhhh, good times. Seems like that's all I was doing those days. :)

I play indoor soccer with some ladies from a different stake (a friend in my ward invited me to join) on Tuesday nights. I LIVE for it! I never thought I'd see the day that I'd be playing soccer, but I love it and it's fun to learn the game. I wouldn't touch it if it was competitive in anyway -- we all do it for the workout! :) And we start at 9 and play for an hour. We start late so that no one can miss. :)

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
