Morning! Gunna try to update you on what ending up being a very eventful and stressful week....well....for me anyway!
Natalie, Coach Chris and the OSU ladies made their way to San Diego on Tuesday. Practices and "played" on their spring break. Then played the Princeton team on Saturday. Lucky for Natalie and all the ladies at the tennis center, that the Navy Seals were having a fundraiser that day. Although the tennis team was trying to beat Princeton, they were distracted by the handsome and pretty people in white uniforms. I mean does it get any better then that??? Sorry, I digressed! Anyway there were Seals......oooo wait I said that already.....there were para troopers coming in for a landing....CIA agents, etc., all giving Natalie and the team plenty of distraction.
Happy to say that the team handled Princeton in fashion time.....maybe the extra motivation of the audience or that OSU is that good.....either way....a great thing! The win was not without a lil lady drama. Seems that one of the Princeton players was a bit of a poor loser and wouldn't shake the have of the OSU victor. Never a good thing....words were exchanged. A shame really, but in or after the heat of a battle it happens.
Natalie enjoyed San Diego once again. Not only getting to see her former team mate Jen, and one of the best assistant college coaches ever Mario and his beautiful wife Kristen. But the beach, the roof top look over the Padres stadium. And the fun times with the team. A Spring Break to remember.
Our gal traveled back to Oklahoma yesterday and I'm sure will be sleeping the morning away. On a PT note, she has be released for agility training and was very excited. For the first time in over 8 months she hit tennis balls cross court for over an hour. It felt so good, that she didn't realize she had been hitting for the long. A great thing!
As for me, the day Nat left for SD, was the day that began the black spiral of my week. Had the septic folks out to empty "us", only to be locked out of the house by Nana. Who I believe saw the two strangers and panicked. That evening lil Ed and I were driving to trade my car in at the dealership for him to get a brand new car.....we broke down four exits from the dealership. UGH! Had it towed, spent the next 3 days sorting all that out. Was able to trade it in and Ed get his new Honda on Friday. Now, I pray for a great peach season so that maybe by fall I can replace my car. Until then I will be rocking our back up beater.....Nana's old Crown Vic! LOL!
Hope everyone is enjoying spring or the end of winter....either way hope its great! Love and Blessings....Sherry!
