Tonight Dallin's basketball team competed in the semi-finals for the Bantam League (he will be moving on to other leagues in the Spring). Prior to his game, I had the opportunity to catch up with one of the amazing young women I had the privilege to teach (and to be taught by) while I lived in Arizona. I had been asked to volunteer to be the president in a young women's organization in my church. It was a humbling experience to have the responsibility to help teach and guide these girls (ages 12-18). While I have lost touch with some, I have maintained contact with many others. It has been exciting to see them grow. Whitni is now married and flew into Utah with her husband for a quick weekend get-away. We were lucky to be able to coordinate our schedules so that we could meet up for dinner. At times, I still wish I lived closer to them, but I was grateful for this opportunity to meet up with her.
After dinner, I met up with Jeff, Danny and Laurin (Amber was still participating in her drama production) to watch Dallin's game. His team played well...but ultimately, lost the game. It was a hard fought game though. Dallin made several great plays and had many assists. It was a heartbreaking loss for his team, but it was a great season (at least for this league) overall. Now onto Spring season!
