Roller blading in China

I gave my talk today in sacrament meeting. I spoke about "Friends" from the strength of youth pamphlet.

I thought I got up at 6:00 this morning, but it was really 7:00 and so Amanda thought I was late to meet her and grab a taxi, but it was just a blonde moment for me.

Morgan is here laying on my pillow at this moment while I create my blog post. She was crying while I had to help feed Ethan and so she was all alone. In my talk I explained that one of my most favorite people is my sister, she is my best BEST friend and that is why I named her Morgan. After only a week, we have realized they have all fit their names perfectly. I was going to name Morgan "Joanna." I am glad I didn't.

Yesterday morning I woke up at 4:25 and I went to the basketball court to roller blade and (of course) play with my new basketball. Many people that walked by were only up so early because they were going to work, or they were exercising. One man made his dog go where he was going just so he could just stand and stare at the weird American girl.

I could understand why people would just stop and stare. I was very blonde. I had straitened my hair the day before and it was very shiny and wavy. I was also in very nice roller blades that went very fast around the court and so it must have looked very strange to see such an athletic blonde head on a basketball court, rollerblading so early in the morning in China.

Now it is Sunday in the afternoon and Eathan laughed at me. I got a picture and even a video of it. he is starting to get a little more comfortable here, and so am I, a little too comfortable. :)
