A Change of Plans...

I've been looking forward to this weekend for a long time. It should've been a blast! A super great time with awesome memories...

Saturday was the JV Conference Tournament. We were 7-1 this season, so we were pumped up to go to Waverly yesterday in hopes of coming home as champions. It didn't turn out quite as planned though- we placed fourth with two wins and two losses. It's a respectable record, but not the one we had hoped for. On the up side, my leg held up, and I had playing time in three out of the four matches.

We left for the tournament on Friday so that we wouldn't have to leave really early on Saturday morning to get there. I was pretty bummed to miss Halloween on campus because lots of children from the town of Decorah come to Brandt Hall for trick-or-treating. I was really excited to dress up for them and to hand out candy, until I realized we wouldn't be there...But, we stayed at the house of one of the sophomores on the team, and I ended up getting to hand out candy to adorable kids anyway. Plus, we had a great home-cooked meal that night! And it was awesome to be with the team one more time before the season ends. It was like having a big sleepover with fifteen girls- quite the bonding experience! :)

When we got home on Saturday, some of the girls and I rushed around, getting ready for a costume party that was going on last night. I was psyched! I had a great costume planned out- Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's! I felt like a princess in my jewelry and long black gloves! It should've been a spectacular night!

However, we only stayed at the party for about ten minutes. By the time we arrived, it was already winding down and switching locations. Our group split up, and I ended up driving around town with a couple girls. Total bust right?

Not even close! I had the time of my life last night! I spent time with some great girls, getting to know some for the first time and getting to know others that much better! We looked hilarious, and I don't think we ever stopped laughing!

Like I said- I was really looking forward to this weekend; it was supposed to be a blast... and it was!

I hope y'all had a fun, safe Halloween!
