A 3-1 Burgh Victory
Had my first soccer match today! It was an away game in Dundee, so we left on a bus at 11:40am and got home at 8pm...8.5 hrs! It was a good match, though neither team played especially well. Contrary to my pre-game visions of a hattrick, I didn't score, but enjoyed playing nonetheless. Apparently our team is sponsored by Budweiser, as their logo was sprayed across our jerseys and shorts...
I think the best part, actually, was that we (as a team) stopped by a pub after the game for pints and sandwiches...the thought of beer is never particularly appealing to me, but especially not after a workout! So I stuck with orange soda and chatted with my new friend Cecilia, from Sweden. Apparently she and I are the oldest people on the team; imagine that! The average age is 20! I don't know what I expected, except that from first impressions I thought everyone was at least 22...and so, I've been dubbed "Grandma"...apparently being married automatically adds a decade to my age, so I'm viewed as the oldest on the team...
Our next game is next Wednesday at home...looking forward to it already! Thanks for your support! Will keep you posted!

NOTE: "Burgh" is short for "Edinburgh"... :)
Kate, that's amazing! Your status of being dubbed Grandma may not be a bad thing...its your chance to shine as a leader for these girls and a great tool to witness in how you go about your business and everyday life. Just living and breathing. Keep tearing it up Grandmama!!

P.S. Budweiser huh? That's lame...can't American companies just stay away! You'd think the team would be sponsored by GOOD BEER :) A pint after a game sounds so good!
So you've joined the ranks of grandma! Congralulations on making the team! Glad to hear that you're going to stay with it, meeting the challenges head on. I'll be praying for open doors to ministry, as you go for the goal!
