In December, a good friend from high school asked me if I wanted to play on her recreational basketball team. It was something that I really had to think about!

I've been playing basketball since I was like 10 or 11, and played all through junior high school and on my high school teams.

However, I pretty much hadn't picked up a ball in 5 years.

5 YEARS!

I couldn't believe it when I counted!

I guess life just got busy.

I have been saying to Kale for a few years that I would like to start playing organized basketball again but we were living in Cranbrook, and there wasn't anything like that there.

Despite the fact that I wanted to play, I almost said no because of my insecurities.

I'm glad I said yes.

It's been so FUN!

I play on a co-ed team, and it's a lot different playing with men.

There tall, and they play differently.

Our guys are pretty good though, they treat the girls pretty equally.

We're playing in the 1st/2nd place game next week.

We're playing a tough team, and we've lost to them before.

Although, we lost to the team we beat tonight to so who knows!

Back in December I never thought I would have this much fun!

You want to know the best part?

I feel like ME.

I get to be independent.

I get to be active.

I go, and I don't have to worry about children or household things.

I don't have to juggle 5 different things at once.

I don't have to worry about my life as wife, and mom.

I just get to be me :)

Please, please don't get me wrong.

I love ME as wife, and momma of 2...

...but it's nice to remember who I was before I was those things.

Birthday cake in a cookie ... YES PLEASE!

It's my mission this week to find these babies.

I've already struck out in 2 stores, so I may have to stock up once I find them.

Wish me luck :)
