Angels in the Out Field

Aaaaah, the memories...
Me and Mel...so glad you were there!


There he is...A-Rod himself, Oh wait it's Travis...hard to tell the difference!

My new friend Nicole...Love her!

So last Tuesday our softball season ended. I made it! I, Margie Virginia Peterson was on an athletic team. I have to say, there were a few times that my bat actually connected with the ball! However, there are also a few times that my bat did not connect with the ball. I don't think I ever caught the ball at any time all season, but I did have some fun moments. I met a new friend (Nicole!), and got to hang out with my old friend (Melanie!). I don't think I will be playing on a team again due to my uncoordination, lack of throwing ability, lack of catching ability and unfailing need to pee everytime I run (thank you Lincoln!). That about covers it. I'm pretty sure nobody will be disapointed by that. However, I do think the right field at Barnes park just might miss me. The unfortunate thing is that occasionally a ball does come flying into right field. Luckily, I will no longer be there to miss it. Thanks for the memories! Maybe I will talk Travis into taking ballroom dancing lessons or something......maybe not.

It sounds like you made a lot of memories. Chad & I played on a co-ed team when we were first married & it was a lot of fun. I'm so proud of you for trying something that you've never done before. That's awesome!

You are so funny! I can totally relate! How did we turn out so non athletic being raised with all those brothers???

Your so much braver than myself! So glad you enjoyed yourself even if you lack any athletic ability. I'd much rather cheer on the sidelines myself. Way to go. I think it's awesome that you went through with it!!

Margie I just love it because I can picture the entire thing! You must really love Travis to be willing to play soft-ball. My favorite part was you talking about your need to pee. Love!

I'm so glad you survived Margie! I am very proud of you! I would LOVE to see T doing ballroom. That would be awesome!
