Last Sunday I invited our community group and former community pastors over to my mom's house to celebrate my birthday with a little lasagna and pool volleyball. The lasagna was perfect, but the pool volleyball was stupendous! It was Me, Karen C., Lori S., and Cathy G. (aka - The Dream Team) against Dave T., Jeff S., and Mike C. (aka- The Boys). We had a blast! It took The Dream Team a little while to warm up, but we pulled it together when it counted. The Boys had won the first few sets, but we were really beginning to pull together our team work and strategy so we challenged The Boys to a "for all the marbles, winner takes all" final set. And...We WON 15-8! There was such a celebration that an onlooker might have thought we had just won an Olympic Gold. It felt extra great because each of us on the team had each made a number of awesome plays and it really felt like we won as a team.
Still hungry for competition we moved it into the garage for a friendly game of darts. Yes, the girls prevailed yet again! This time I got to make the winning throw that put us at exactly 701 to win the game. Karen told me to aim for the 11 and then seconds later I watched the dart leave my hand and travel directly to the 11 square for the win.
Thank you all for making it so special!

the boys won the first FEW sets? i think it was four sets out of five that we won, all by a margin of 6 points or more. you should feel grateful that we let you guys win the 'all or nothing' set. consider it our birthday gift to you. =)
Look we just had you right where we wanted you guys. We lulled you into thinking that we weren't a threat, you agreed to the "all or nothing" deal and then we went for the KILL!
Hmmmm, too scared to attach your name to that one ... Dave? Big talk for a guy who lost to girls! And a pretty dominant victory we had too. Yes, we had to warm up first, but ... we crushed you!!! There was no "letting us win" involved.
