When I was in High School I was on the Drill Team. We marched and danced and performed during our High School Games. It was fun for me. I loved being on the team. I practiced at home all the time. I was always stretching (so I could do the splits~both legs) and kicking and marching. One night I was in my long pink & white striped flannel nightie and I decided to practice my kicks. I tucked my nightie up in my panties by the legs and I kicked over and over until my nightie slipped out of my panties. When it slipped out I was right in the middle of a kick. I kicked hard and my nightie could only go so far and the back of it took my leg I was standing on right off the ground and before I knew what happened I was on the floor. I think I laid on the floor laughing. I am pretty sure my ankle that got knocked out from under me was sore and hurt but I remember rolling on the floor laughing at how silly it was. Ya....I had some moves. hahaha
I also remember being able to do the spits on the bleachers and having my legs go past my bottom. I can only think about such things now. I haven't bent or stretched like that since Jaydan was born.
Just after I had Braxton I was serving in the Young Women's and we had the (12-13) girls at my house. (I have always been over the youngest girls...pretty sure I know why....because I love them) The girls were out doing cartwheels and splits and having fun and so us leaders (Sandy LaRose, & Ann Gessel & myself) decided to join them. I know those girls were pretty impressed...heck I was pretty impressed. I know I tried a few cartwheels when I was expecting Jaydan but gave it all up after he was born. (I shouldn't have) Growing up I loved doing gymnastics. I was flexible and had potential. I wasn't able to take lessons so everything I did I just learned on my own. I loved occupying my time improving my skills. Fun Memories!
