I heard this morning that I'm now a (very proud and relieved) member of the NCWHL's Red Division. It looks like most of my friends moved up, too so it should be really fabulous.

I'm so excited!
And I just can't hide it!
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!
Whoo-whee!

This is the first time in my life where I haven't been the worst at a sport. A huge accomplishment for someone who was sitting on the couch 2 years ago dreaming of having energy (and a few toned muscles).

Thanks (and props) to everyone who supported me in this (scaling Mt. Everest would have been no less a feat), cheering from the bench as I tried out, sending good wishes my way and in general being supportive of me in this. It means a lot to me that you were, and continue to be, there, and that nobody has told me I can't do it.

Because I did! WOO HOO!!!!!
