Life
So we had a tournament in Dallas this weekend. It was pretty cool. Anne called me Saturday night and told me she's preggers. I am so excited. It wasn't planned or anything, but I guess you just go with the flow. I know its gunna be hard work and I know she wanted a little more "just us" time before she started a family, but I can't help but be excited anyway. (Legitimate kids will do that to you!) lol. Anyways, she asked us to kick butt at the tournament for her, and we did. We won both games against Dallas. I hurt my foot trying to save a ball Saturday night, but I kept on playing through the pain. I just couldn't put my heel down. I still can't, actually, and it's bruised all up the right side of my right ankle, but I don't think it's too serious. Hopefully it will start improving in a few days, or I might go see a doctor.
I wanted to go home for Night to Be, but it turns out I have a test that Wednesday, so I won't be going home after all. That works okay for me, because Ellen is getting baptized, and I would like to be here for that. I am so proud of her. I should be doing that too, but for some reason the time doesn't really feel right anymore. Mr. Taylor gave the sermon on Saturday on baptism, and that helped me alot. I think I'm almost ready, I just need to work on the personal relationship part and the studying part, and it has to be the right time for me. What stuck out in my mind about it is that some people who grow up in the church sometimes don't get baptized til they are 30. That means its not a race with time, and I can work through things to make sure I'm where I want to be in my life when I make that commitment because, in truth, I want to be ready, and I could really screw things up if I did it too soon.
Its funny, I was so completely and utterly obsessed over boys and my responses to them and how they view me and why don't I have a boyfriend blah blah blah, but the last couple days I haven't thought about that at all. I've just been having fun with my friends and by myself, and its really quite nice.
Anyway, I'm going to start my winding down process early tonight, and hopefully I can get to sleep before 3 am this time. As usual, thanks for listening.
