Holy Skating

You always hope that someone can tell who you are by the way you present yourself.

For me, it's the hope that people can tell that I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Tonight I was roller blading on a date and my date, Joe, pointed out a group of three married couples. He said something to the extent of... "How much you wanna bet they are Mormon?" They not only looked Mormon but they acted like it too. Modest stylish outfits and fun, goofy personalities.

At one point of the night I was sitting on the side while Joe skated and two of the girls from the suspected Mormon group sat on both sides of me and started chatting. They suspected me and Joe too! It was so fun! We talked about dating and where we were from and what wards we were in.

At the end of the night, I met up with three couples once again. One of them asked me if I had any older sisters and then asked me if I was a Hogge! She knew Mindy from college and the fact that she could tell that I was her sister just from my looks was pretty flattering.

You hope people can tell who you are by the way you look, act, live...

I would like to believe that I might be doing things right if someone can pick me out from a crowd. Maybe I just skate holy.
