Dance

The youth sponsored a dance for a fundraiser last night and Mike and I had a great time! We went not really planning on cutting a rug, but by the end of the night we had both let loose and had a great time. Lydia escaped from the nursery by the end of the night and also enjoyed the evening shaking her sugar. She loved the strobe light and each time a song would end, she would emphatically exclaim, "More, More!" Thanks to Kristine N. for the pictures!

After all the excitement from the dance I lost my voice. I have seldom in my life lost my voice, but I was fortunate enough to lose it on one of those times when I would need it because today was my speech competition. After going mute and drinking honey and lemon water, and also after a blessing from Mike, my voice held out just long enough for me to give my speech and it couldn't have sounded too bad because I took 2nd place. (I was competing against all of Northern Indiana) This does not qualify me to move on to the next round, but I did feel that this was my best presentation of my speech yet, so I was satisfied because I knew I had done the best I was able. It was very fulfilling.

And on the topic of fulfilling- I had mentioned some time ago about finding a league to play basketball. Well I did my research and found there are no women's leagues in the area unless you play with the Purdue intramurals. This sounded alright, but sometimes the college girls can be a little ruff around the edges, so I took some initiative and am now in charge of "tri-ward Relief Society basketball" every thursday night. This last thursday was our first night and it was so much fun! (One might say it was fulfilling) I am afraid not all had as much fun though because one girl did end up tearing her LCL coming down from a rebound. I am giving her a ride to the doctor on Monday and hope that her injury doesn't end the beginning of thursday night basketball.

Until next time.
