Bump-Set-Spike

I got a e-mail this morning from Kyndra's teacher, Michelle saying "I" had a game tonight.  Two weeks ago she had a snowboarding accident that put her in a full leg cast for a month.  She was bummed about missing volleyball.  Silly me mentioned that volleyball sounded like fun...and this morning I got an e-mail saying "I" had a game tonight.

I played volleyball tonight....
and didn't know the name of my team
and didn't know one person there
and didn't know the rules
and haven't played since 8th grade (if you don't count party volleyball games and college co-ed)
and my arms are sore
and I have a smile on my face.

I'm proud...
that I did something out of my comfort zone
that I made a few points
that I didn't hurt myself too bad
that I had fun!

Go Diggers! 
(thats the name of my team I found out)

Yeah you for stepping into the scary zone- so proud of you!

Yeah for you! That isn't easy... AND...Volleyball scares me. I'm not kidding...really bad...that ball comes down fast. You rock - I'd have to be hit over the head, hard, to get put out on the court.

Good for you! You're much braver than I would be. Preston is a volleyball player, and even coached at the college level. He keeps encouraging me to play co-ed city league v-ball with his team, but I don't ever want him to see how inept I am at volleyball! Glad you had fun - good luck!
