Lost Lessons of Soccer

So I havent played official organized soccer in probably 8 years. I have played pick up games here and there but nothing full on. I joined an indoor team, made up from the fabulous people in my singles ward. Last night was the first game I played in (haha I missed the first team game). There are many lessons about me and soccer I learned last night. Not sure how I forgot them.

They are:
- Taking out guys twice your size is way fun
- Soccer uses much different muscles the running (ouch is what I said this morning)
- You can be afraid of being hit or hitting people, balls, walls, etc.
- Reffs dont always know what their talking about
- Team sports are easier with a coach
- Subbing is nice
- Girls can take out guys
- Guys should not back off on taking out girls, sorry but I think thats wimpy and sexest (dont ask)
- There is no need for appologies on the field
- Random bruises show up all the time when playing soccer
- Defense is the best!!
- Much, much more

#1 LESSON:
I am overly competitive!! When I get mad its hard to back down. When a player seems tuff I cant help but take them out.

Man I love soccer!!

Onto a better year in 2010

So I Thought I Could Blog....Obviously Not

So that was a funny dream to think I could blog on a regular basis. I think daily may be overkill for me so I am going to step and try weekly.

Recently I have found my myself facing a lot of changes in life. Such as:
- Becoming unemployed
- Once and for all ending my relationship with Jared (silly that it took us nine months to figure things out.

But its all for the best. Lately I have felt in a huge rut and didnt know why, how I got there or how to get out. Honest I am not sure the answers to any of those questions.

All I know is this:
- I need to make the changes in my life that allow me to get back to being, the things I did when I felt the best. Hence my 2010 goals.
- Right now I am 95% sure going back to school is the best option
- I have come to learn I deserve the best when it comes to relationships. I deserve to date someone who will treat me like the daughter of God that I am and that can help establish a family based on the church and love of and in Christ.

Ill keep up to date and how life pans out.
