Volleyball Nationals in Salt Lake!

Photo of Sweet Yams and Brazil, over 40 division.
Rob is 2nd on left, back row. Per tradition,
they traded jerseys after the 4-day tournament.

They called themselves the "Sweet Yams." When I saw Rob in that sexy black jersey, I had to agree.

The kids were amazed at Rob's super powers on the court. Me? I'd seen it all before—same old, same old. We heard Mike Daniel (UVU volleyball coach) was calling Rob a volleyball icon. That kind of flattery is just wasted on Rob. Call me an icon, and I'll love you forever :)

The last day of the tournament, single-elimination Saturday, Sweet Yams lost to Brazil, a team they'd beaten twice. It was all Rob could do to get over the loss the rest of the day.
On the upside, he gets to keep that black jersey ;)
And—we got to eat lunch at Cheesecake Factory.

For Family Night, we happened to play on the sand court next to Arik and the other firefighters. Arik was at the scene of Elle's accident and visited Elle at the hospital more than once and attended her funeral (people are awesome).

Ouch.
