Not Expected

When I'm out on the tennis court I feel like I have come home. I'm not nervous, I'm not scared, I'm just ready for the challenge. Ready for the possibility of winning. I love the feeling of silence right before the serve is hit, when anything and everything could happen. I love the glory of hitting a ball in such a way that there is no way in heck the other person will be able to return it. I didn't expect to fall in love with tennis, but I did. But isn't that true with any love story? Tennis is my life in the fall and when it's over I'm not ready for it to be. I'm excited for this next season! I'm offically on second doubles VARSITY with my best friend Melissa Rassmussen :)

We have come a long way since last year and I'm excited to improve even more! Last year was tough because me and my other best friend Emma didn't win a single game. Sad, I know right? But hey that last match we did against Layton, man that made a whole season of heart ache feel like nothing! We made Layton's first doubles team work hard to win! To look back and see how far we had come was an amazing feeling! I'm so grateful for tennis and all it has taught me! I know these are the memories I will be looking back on for the rest of my life, and maybe a little bit more after that :)
