Exciting Thing #2: Roller Derby
Little Bo Bleep is in the house!!! Friday, September 26th brought double the fun: Not only did we buy a house, but it was also the day of the Draft Party for the Mad Rollin Dolls. I was so happy to learn that I had made it (whew!), and I was doubly happy when I was drafted by my favorite team: The Reservoir Dolls! There will be much more to come on this great team, and roller derby in general, very soon.
I was sad to see some of the women I had tried out with go to competing teams; we spurred each other on all summer long and each improved so much. This was the first time I had ever done anything like this and really surprised myself. I'm very proud of my fellow draftees...it's going to be an incredible year for MRD.
Why Matt is Great, Reason #2,840,736: My habits, schedule and life have been turned upside-down by derby. I'm so excited about it, but I certainly can not do it without his enthusiasm and support. Even when I feel like all I'm doing is running out the door for the next practice or event all the time, he's cheering me on.
