Lets get this STARTED

I started this little blog I don't know how long ago with the thinking that I would really get into it......well, it didn't happen. Turns out this blogging stuff is hard. I'm not the kind of tell all type of person so that makes the blogging thing a little more difficult I'm sure. Haha. I'm gonna try and do this again and see where it goes...........So lets see where this takes us........


I'm so pumped up for this weekend because its our first Club volleyball tournament of the year and I have to admit that time away with my volleyball family is always a good time. There are guaranteed laughs and memories that will last a lifetime. I always wonder if the kids that play understand that yes, as much as you don't think so at the time, these are some of the best years of your life?!?! Memories and friendships that are forged during this time in your life are the ones that will last a lifetime. The true friendships that I have at this point in my life are the ones that were made during volleyball. Be that when I played or the with wonderful athletes that I have coached over the years that I have a new relationship with after they have graduated. Those are some special girls! The ones that text you and let you know how everything is going in their lives and when those big moments happen you are one of the first to hear about it. If that doesn't make you feel like you've meant something to them in their lives, I don't know what will. And then, every once in a while, you get those messages or emails that THANK YOU for the role that you played in their lives. Those bring tears to my eyes just thinking about em........few and far between but you do get em........Then there are the ones that don't even have to tell you what they meant because the only words that need to say are " I miss you........I wish I could go back in time and be back in the gym with you yelling at me and making me better, even though at the time I wished you would have just shut up!" HAHA....those are good ones to get too!

So we went from what my plans are this weekend to what a blessing it is to be a part of our youth in the volleyball world and how they have changed me......BIG LEAP.....hahaha. Anyways, I hope that this blog finds a place in my heart so that I will continue to do it and maybe even find a group of people that enjoy it.......

I promise it'll get better and more entertaining as time goes on, I hope. Hahaha!

Lord willing.......:)
