I'm Tougher Than I Look!

My amazingly sweet husband was super awesome tonight and left work early so that I could go and play some coed volleyball at the church! I love volleyball and I haven't been able to really play in like 6 years! So I was more excited than I can put into words, and I love him so much for loving me enough to let me go! (Which included putting the boys to bed alone! It's sucks, I know!)

And well, it was a blast. My legs feel like jello due to the obvious amounts of exercise I am not getting! They will be sore tomorrow, and it was so worth it! But as it turns out, church 'ball' is a dangerous activity! (Doesn't seem to matter what kind of ball is flying around, Mormons make aggressive athletes!) This is my upper arm after I got beamed with a serve at about 97 mph! (And shamefully, I have to admit, it was from a girl!)

The vessel popped and turned purple almost instantly, but the truly impressive thing is the bump! Yep, as much as I would love to say that is my amazing 'gun', it is not! (It's a lot like a Monkey Bump!) But for tonight at least, I have one impressive looking bicep! (Surprisingly, it doesn't hurt!)

I'm guessing, based on the deep red color of my arms when I left, that there will be more bruises in the morning! ...That's right, battle through the pain, all for a good time! I am so proud!
