Chess champ:-)
Peter and I have this weekly ritual. After Bible study on Sunday afternoons, we play chess. For weeks now, Peter has won every time we play. I'll come close, but I can never claim a win. I am rather competative, and it's become quite painful to lose week after week.
Well, yesterday, I had a grand victory. I won, and I won fair and square. I even finished out the game with not one, but two queens!
I know that I am now in a bit of trouble because it so happens that Peter it also competative.
Let the chess wars begin!
I did cheer for the Bears last night. I was very happy for the Colts, but sad that my home-state couldn't relish the victory. Plus, in all honesty, I think the Bears had the better uniforms. They had three cool colors, while the Colts only had 2. The Bears also ruled the first quarter:-) ah, well.
And the Bible study mentioned above is one that Peter and I attend on Sunday afternoons. It's hosted by my neighbors. We just completed a study on Angels, Demons, and Satan. I did learn a lot, most importantly, I learned that Demons are bad, haha. Inside joke. Ask my mom if you want the details. Now we are onto a study of Mankind.
Hope you all have a great day. I know I will...my chess victory will bring me much joy this week!

Relish this victory as long as Peter will let you! You deserve it. I must admit that I admire not only people who can win at chess, but anyone who even knows how to play. Jonathan was teaching me once, but our game got interrupted and we weren't able to finish. The thing that drove me nuts is having to anticipate all possible moves and just remembering what piece can do what!

Well, congrats. I played a round with Jeff last night (can I just say chess isn't my thing?). I did beat him, but, he could have put me in check mate for most of the game and I didn't even notice until the end...thankfully, he didn't either. lol Needless to say, I don't think I'm interested in playing you or Peter anytime in the near future.
