Celebratory tailgate and various activities

So. Late football game last night and we lost...by one point. Yesterday was about more than celebrating football though. Our little "village" came together to celebrate one of the best friends I'll ever have.  We all got together to have a little tailgate party for Ashlee and I think it's safe to say it was successful.  Even had an added bonus with out of town friends we hadn't seen in years, also a blessing! Ashlee always makes us smile. We all love her dearly and are blessed to call her friend. 

After getting home about 1:30 this morning (for the love of God someone fix the post game traffic flow) and having tennis and kickball today I can safely say it will be an early night tonight. I was actually pretty...well...let's say irritable after tennis today.  We lost in tie break in a match I felt like we should've won. I was mad at myself, double faulted, hit some stupid shots, even hit my partner with the ball. 😱. Basically I felt like I beat myself. We had kickball right after though and that actually helped. We are showing signs of improvement!  After I calmed down and thought about it the tennis match wasn't all that terrible and I was actually blessed with some pretty good skills in the match today. I hit some near impossible shots, had some power behind a few, my partner jumped like Jordan once even with a bad ankle, and we played hard. The fact we are able to play is awesome and I need to take a breath.
