Sports

We had a great volleyball season this year. I don't know our exact record, but it was something like 15-8. Our last tournament of the season was in Sasebo, Japan. We stayed and played for a week on a US navy base. Everything there was so American. It was soooo nice, but made me really miss being in the states. We ate a lot of Baskin Robins and Taco Bell. The girls loved it. It was a great week of bonding. I just love those girls. We finished 2nd place in the tournament. Last night we had our first season sports awards banquet. I loathe speaking in front of people, but I made it through! We gave out letter winner awards, mvp (Chrystal Ballentyne), most inspirational (Hannah Harvell), most improved (Yei Won Lim), and coach's award (Charis Jones). The girls gave Val Manthe (assistant coach www.thrilla-in-manila.blogspot.com) and I beautiful bouquet of flowers. And of course they made them carolina blue, my favorite color. I am now the assistant girls varsity basketball coach. I jumped from one season to the next without a break...but that's pretty much how my entire life has been....and I like it that way. We had a tournament during my birthday in Hong Kong. Talk about a nice birthday trip! Our girls got 4th and guys won the championship in OT. We will be having a far east trip in February in Korea. It's amazing where God will take you both physically and spiritually when you make yourself available.
