Byron is back from South Korea!!

Yay!!! He made it back safely. There were moments when we wondered if he would. I don’t know if any of you guys heard… but North Korea was going to launch a missile/ satellite and South Korea said if North Korea  did launch it they would shoot it down. Could have been a war and Byron would have literally been in the middle of it. North Korea did launch the missile/ satellite after they said they would not… but South Korea did not shoot it down so Byron was safe!! YAY!!!
 
Byron said Korea was really really cold but pretty. One of his favorite things was the Korean BBQ. The first Korean BBQ place he went to they had him sit on the floor at the table. They had a “grill” in the middle of the table and they brought his food to him raw and he cooked it himself. At one of the places he went to they offered him “dessert”.  It was noodles in ice water with chicken and some other things. I don’t really remember it all… but he said it was yummy!!

I picked Byron up from the airport Thursday the 13th. He was originally scheduled to come back on the 15th… but he was able to finish up early and get home a little earlier. So the Thursday night he is scheduled to come in is the same night we have our company Christmas party. So I went to my Christmas party for exactly 1 hour and then headed to the airport to pick up my love muffin!!
The following weekend was just as busy as always! We had our last softball games for the season Friday night. We only had four of our regular players available to play. So as the team manager I did all the recruiting I could do to get a full team. I even got to the field early and went around to each dug out asking for extra girls. At game time we were still 3 girls short. Boo! But, a team we had previously played against and I and another girl had played for/with the week before where short girls as well. So we struck a deal. The deal was that they would forfeit their first game and play with us and we would forfeit our second game and play with them. Because at the end of the day we all came out to play… if we won that was a bonus.

So if you didn’t know I was/ am the “coach” as well as the manager of the team. So, it was a little stressful at the beginning of that first game combining teams and figuring out the field positions and the lineup as the game starts. It was a wee bit stressful. But we did it. The team we played was a really good team and high up on the rankings. So we lost… but not by much 6-7. We were going to forfeit our second game to play with the other team…. But we didn’t have too. The team we were supposed to play was available to play at 7:30 instead of our scheduled 8:30 time… and since we were available to play and there was an open field… we played at 7:30. We didn’t win against this team either L they won by a little more this time… but we still didn’t do bad... the score was 23-10! So we still ended up playing with the other teams second game with them and we won that game 25 -10. SO over all we played three hours of softball straight… but I loved it!! I am already ready for the next season!!
Saturday was a blast as well! One of our good friends was celebrating his 30th birthday. He decided to schedule it at Sky High. For those of you who don’t know it is one of those indoor trampoline places. So we started at the foam pit. I was a little bit of a chicken with this because I did not attempt to do any flips with this one (or any other one for that matter). I did however try to jump off the side walls and land all the way on the back wall. Fail… instead I landed in the foam pit like a taco (arms and legs straight in the air)… it probably took me a good 3-5 minutes to get out. I did get the closest to the back trampoline!! Yay! Go me!! After the foam pit trampoline we went to the “big” trampoline. This is pretty much like 50 trampolines all together. I did a couple of “knee - ups” and “back-ups) and wall jumps…but that is all. Last we went to the trampoline dodge ball courts. Of course I was horrible at this. I would do pretty well at dodging the balls until I would try to get one. As soon as I would reach for a ball I would get hit and be out! L But at the end it was a blast and a great workout!! Ready to go back again!!
I know this post is so far behind. I’m am going to do my best to get caught up and start posting events that are more current and not a couple of weeks late!
