Derby Girl - the beginning

 Look!  I finally got a chance to use my derby gear!  It has scratches on it and everything...because I totally fell on my rear!  It wasn't as pretty as the movies...
 There was a little more of this involved...
 Except not as pretty.  Thankfully, I was wearing all of this...
Minus the skirt.  It's still cold out here, so pants were definitely part of my ensemble.  And a jacket.

It was a lot of fun to finally get out there and skate though.  Definitely different when compared to the roller blades I used when working at Sonic Drive-in forever ago!  The second fall was because I was looking for my stopper on the back of my skates....when, CLEARLY, it's located in the front on quads!

So, that was my first experience skating with the Osan Derby gals.  But....I was SUPER late to practice since Trevor was coming home from a trip to Kunsan.  So there were only four ladies left skating when I arrived.  But I was able to skate for a bit before they needed to call it quits.

The family and I are going to be checking out Korea next week, so I'll miss next weekend's practice, but I'll be out there with the ladies again the week after.  Can't wait!
