Iralee's Volleyball Team: Believe it or Not!

I participated on a volleyball team this winter. Those of you who know me well know that I'm not exactly athletic. However, my friend Dawn wanted to start a team, and was desperate enough to play volleyball that she invited me to join her team. I told her I was really bad, and she reassured me she still would let me be on the team.

We ended up with ten ladies from our neighborhood. We came in 6th out of 8 teams in the "D" league, and had a total blast. We only won a few rounds, but improved dramatically by the end of the season.

We are in the middle of tournament play right now. We won our first game, lost our second, and won our third. Since it is double elimination, we survived to play another day. It has been such a fun experience. Marden has stake meetings the same night I played, so Aurora comes along as "team Mascot." I sure appreciate all my sweet friends who pass my baby down the rotation line so I can have a turn to play.

I took a bunch of pictures of us in action, but none of them turned out; I keep thinking I know how to use my blasted camera, but I guess I don't because I can never get any action shots to work. Maybe I can talk Marden into coming to our next game.

Here we are in all our glory: The Seventh Heaven Volleyball Team! If my friends give me permission to publish their names on my blog, I'll label the pictures.
