On Tuesday November 5th we had a combined YW/YM activity and it was Roller Skating! I have not been Roller Skating in a very long time and I was excited to give it a whirl. The roller rink had roller blades as well as skates and I chose skates. I was a little surprised when most everyone else chose blades. I found out that night that everyone chose blades because those were easier to skate in and I had quite a few people tell me they were impressed that I could roller skate and that it was the harder the two. I was surprised but felt cool that I was able to do something no-one else could. I was pretty good at it as well and I had so much fun. We had the rink reserved for two hours and I skated non-stop for an hour and a half. I would have skated the entire time but my ankles were rubbed raw and were bleeding and I had to call it quits because I was in pain. Worth it though, I had a really good time!
On Wednesday November 6th, the day after Election Day, I woke up early and went into the bathroom to get ready to go workout. While I was in the bathroom I remembered about the election and feeling very nervous I opened up Instagram to see what the results were. I was shocked and so very happy to discover that Donald Trump won and is to be our next President! I got on the treadmill and normally I would watch a show on my laptop while I walked but this time I turned on the Today show and watched al of the election happenings. I was so happy watching everything and just felt good knowing that our republican nominee actually won. What was so fantastic about this win is he won the electoral vote as well as the popular vote and Republicans took control of the House and Senate, it was such a huge win and I am so glad that most of America is aligned with the direction we want our Country to go. This was a good day and my time on the treadmill has never gone so fast as it has watching all of the results come in.
