Officiating

Last night was fun. If not a bit intimidating. I got called to be the referee for the girls basketball games. My stake just has a ref from each ward do the officiating. I went early so I could watch the game before so I would get a little bit of a feel for it again. It was nice and relaxed. Tons of traveling and double dribbling, but that was ok. The ref didn't call them because he would have been there all night. After the game I went and talked to him and he said to be relaxed. It was just church ball.
So I get all ready for a nice easy game of officiating. YEAH RIGHT!! My ward has one of the most aggressive girls team in the stake. They full court pressed the whole game. We also played an aggressive ward. It was fun and I'm glad that the ref's don't do as much running and I'm in better shape than I thought. I told C that I wasn't going to run with the whistle in my mouth I was afraid I'd be huffin and that wouldn't be good. There was no huffin from me going on! Hopefully next week I'll be a little less nervous.
