A little thing called Life!: My "farewell" and the days before.... Only 2 days left!

Last Friday I spent the day writing my talk, and then going to my wards YW basketball regions game. I was so proud of my little Young Women. We only had 5 girls, and the other team had like 10. They were also a very aggressive team. It was our lowest scoring game (by like 20+ points), but we won.... 14-10. With like 18 seconds left in the game we were only one point ahead. The other team short like 3 or 4 times, but missed them all. We finally got the rebound, and took the ball down the court. With 1 or 2 seconds left one of our girls goes for a 3 pointer (she had made one earler in the game), and gets fouled.... Yes! She made all three free throws. Yay!!! We won.

Saturday morning we had the semi-finals game. We had 7 players (that part will come into play later).

In the 1st quater, we already had six team fouls against us... by the second quarter we had 10. The first half of the game was a rough one for us. At half time it was 14-4.... In the third quarter we caught up to them. In the 4th quarter we had 3of our girls foul out... they had one. So we were down to 4 players left, and only a head by one basket. Well with "2 seconds" left the other team scored and tied the game. (2 seconds is quotation marks because the clock wasn't started, and the game would have been over before they shot it if the clock was started at the right time. but we won't go into that... :P )

We had to go into over time with 4 player against their 5, and one of our girls had 4 fouls.... Needless to say, we lost in over time. But I was SO proud of the girls. They played so hard!!!

The rest of Saturday was spent cleaning, and then that night I hung out with my friends for the last time in 18 for months.

SUNDAY was my "farewell". I gave my talk, and then had lunch at my house.... (Thanks everyone for helping with food, and supporting me!)

(I didn't take all the pictures I was planning on, so here are some of the few I did take.)
