The Best Spike Ever!

There comes a time in a man's life when he must do the impossible – learn to spike in volleyball. Well, maybe not. But anyways, my time has come. :P

Before I get into that, here are a few photos...

Susanna at the library:


Andrew and I practiced volleyball before we left:


The cell-culator :P


Playing with a video game during volleyball:


Alright, alright, alright, enough distraction. On this play (thank you, Jemima, for recording it!), my team was up by one point, and this would decide the entire game. Pastor John had been blocking my spikes all game long, and I saw him coming for me again. I knew this would decide the game. As I was going up for the ball, I chose to use my left hand to spike it (which I have practiced a lot with lately), though it would have been safer to use my right. I went up... and here's what happened! ;)


We won! It was really exciting. :)

God bless, J.J.

In some cultures you have to be a warrior, get a bone stuck through your nose or go through certain training to become a man. Here in America...you have to spike a volleyball. :)

Isn't volleyball great?

Congratulations, JJ!
Dad tried to teach me to play Tennis yesterday :)
I bombed half, and did the other half really well...
Running around catching my sister's balls was hard work (we went on and off - 15 balls each, back and forth).
I'm horrible at volleyball - I've only ever gotten 2 good shots :)

Actually, you're right - the dress probably DID cost a lot of money, but it's still gorgeous!
You're a guy, so *sniff* I don't expect you to appreciate it as much as I do.
