Go GSL!!

Sorry I have been AWOL. As you can see, life has been harder than normal here. Today was not without drama, but I won't go in to any of that... today was also our first chance to support Scout at her volleyball tournament. We missed the one a couple of weeks ago because of basketball, but I'm sure glad we didn't miss this one.


The girls played down in Springville which is about an hour away. My sweetie dropped Scout off early and then visited with Grandma for a bit before returning for the games. I took a different route. Sport drove me down and we stopped at my niece's baby shower on the way before coming in a few minutes late for their second set of pool play games. They were not successful in pool play and we were worried for a minute that they might finish up without a single win today.

With 16 teams in the tournament, they ended up in the fourth group, but they surprised us by winning their first match. We sat during a second match before we could watch them play for the championship of their group. As we watched this other team play, I wasn't sure if the girls would be able to beat them, but when they took the floor, Scout stepped up and became the leader and cheerleader of the team.

She shouted and encouraged the girls and made several amazing hits, but mostly she made them believe they could win and that's because we (and the rest of the crowd) made her believe that they could win. Honestly, it was electrifying and the girls could feel the energy and it helped them beat the Morgan team.

They all received a shiny medal, but I think they received something even more important... confidence. Can't wait for the rest of the season!

Go GSL!!
