On hearing that my ward may no longer have a sports program after we are done with basketball, I decided that rather than throwing a fit I would do something constructive for myself and share what I have learned about the women that I have come to know over the past year since we were made a ward.
Even though this picture does not do these beautiful women justice, I wanted to share to share my feelings about these wonderful ladies. I consider them not only my team mates, but my friends and sisters as well.
Dani Cousin: She has a wonderful laugh and has a great ability to see the positive in anyone. She is always building you up.
Melissa Hoffman: Always striving to be her best no matter how tired she is. She never gives less than 110%.
Sarah Cooper: Wonderful cook, shares my passion for cooking, will do whatever it takes to get the job done.
Kim Laursen: Always positive with a capital P. Never quits trying her best.
Jamie Hokanson: Doesn't let life get her down. Stands up for herself.
Jaclyn Wiest: Loves life, the gospel and has a passion for literature.
Tami Hansen: A peacemaker. Looks for the silver lining in things.
Jen Bay: Passionate about all that she does. Doesn't shrink from opposition.
Nikki Kelley: World class teacher. Never makes you feel stupid when she teaches you something new. Very compassionate.
Amy Pratt: (not pictured) Builder of people, always cheers for everyone, even if they are on the other team.
JoAnne McArthur: (not pictured) Great ability to do the right thing, doesn't yield to peer pressure, can always make me laugh.
Abby Isaacson: (not pictured) indomitable spirit, concerned about those around her, awesome cake decorator!
There is so much more that I could say about each of these wonderful women, but it would never sufficiently express what they have come to mean to me. It never fails that when I am having a bad day at least 2 or 3 of them call me, or drop by with out me even asking for help. I look forward to the time that I can spend with them as they always lighten my load in one way or another. They inspire me to be a better person, mother and wife. They truly are amazing women and I feel so grateful to have been able to cross paths with each of them. I want them to know that no matter how this whole thing with the sports teams pans out, they will always be more than my team mates. I feel honored to call them friends and sisters!
