I'm Not Good at Dodgeball but DANG SON THAT WAS FUN!

7/11/14

I haven't posted in a long time.  I am working in my college town for the summer with chillun's, some days they are hilarious, others super annoying.  I have somewhat of a social life through my new Canadian friend across the street. She is amazing and I am so glad that I got to spend time with her.  She is moving to Taylorsville just down the road from my parents house so I can still see her when I visit!! Whoo!

Also Sister Merrill got home from her mission about two weeks ago! It is so nice to be able to talk to her and see her and hug her and I missed her so much I can't even describe. There was also drama, but we don't need to get into that because it doesn't matter as much about how terribly I missed her and how glad I am to have my friend back.

It's hot at night and I can't sleep. Just thought I would put that out there.

The fam is good, no drama. Andrew has a tooth now and is almost walking. He is also very funny because he will do anything to make you laugh.  Even pretend to choke on water when you know that he didn't even drink any water.

Ummmmm. I think that's the gist of everything.  Wait, I'm pretty sure Hermana Lloyd thinks I'm being a lousy friend because I am. I don't write her nearly enough and I want to apologize again for it here because she will read this when she gets back and I really need her to know that I'm sincere.  I am a bad friend when it comes to the communication department. I don't write when I should and I say all the wrong things because I've been told not to say certain things to missionaries.  I'm sorry Amanda.  You have every right to be mad and think I'm a bad friend. But you should also know that I value your friendship just as much as I do my family and my nephew and Kylie (because I would have died without her here the last little while).  I just needed it to be in writing. Hopefully you got my letter before you see this...

NOW TO THE REAL STORY OF THE DAY!!!

At work we have a water Friday, where we have water games for the second half of our day.  Today we couldn't do water day because it was rainy (HALLELUJAH IT IS COOL OUTSIDE!!) So instead we decided to have an hour long Doctor Dodgeball game.  Yes, I said an hour. But that's not the best part.

We have 160 kids registered to our program but we usually get around 90 everyday.  Today we had maybe 70 because of the weather.  Why is this significant you ask? Because our game was leaders versus kids.  There are 10 leaders at our park. 10 adults, 2 of whom are pregnant, and 2 male, against 70 hyperactive, dodgeball loving children between the ages of 6 and 14.  Oh yeah, it was intense.  And also possibly the funnest game of dodgeball I have ever played.  I hate that game, I always have because I am not coordinated enough to play it.  But man, I couldn't not stop laughing!

The kids were so great and I am pretty much dead due to exhaustion of running back and forth.  It also helped that today was a day that the kids were funny instead of annoying.  I saw so much biffing today it was priceless and could have won on AFV.  I also did an amazing job of biffing it.  I tried to catch a ball in our game so that our team could all be back in again, and I magnificently got to the ball in time, caught it securely, and proceeded to trip over my own feet and fall face first into the grass, clutching the ball.  It hurt, badly, but it was so amazing that I would do it again. I was a hero for five seconds, and the kids didn't even get me out afterwards!

And Kylie just told me that Bulgaria won the Quidditch World Cup so  WHOOOOOO PAAAARTY!
