Time to shut her down

So, I have decided to shut the blog down for awhile, I will be back you know me I always resurface at some point might be March Madness that drags me back :)   However, I will leave you with some recent updates

I had a very interesting end of May where I went thru every emotion possible.  After finishing our regular season 13-4 my girls tennis team headed into post season play, and after an easy win in the semi finals(we got the bye) we played for a championship!  A very tight match, it was tied 2-2 came down to #3 singles and I was pretty confident even though at one point my girl trailed 5-2 in the first set.  She rallied, won the first set 7-6(7-3) in 90, yes 90 mins!!  In the 2nd set she got up 5-4 and played an amazing game to close out the match 6-4, and set off our wild celebration!!  We ended up losing in the regionals the following Tuesday, but I was so proud of this group to get us back the sectional trophy.  So that emotion was incredibly happy, on a major high

We won the sectional on a Friday, and let me just say I never sleep during the tournament because of nerves, so when I went to bed Friday night I turned my phone off, and didn't set an alarm.  I woke up to probably 10 text messages, and 6 voice mails.  My grandma passed away very early in the morning Saturday.  A lot of you already know we have actually said goodbye to my grandma a few times and she has always pulled through.  This time, the entire family saw it coming.  The days leading up to her passing she had been doing nothing but sleeping, and you could just tell.  The unfortunate part of it was my mom had taken off to Georgia for my cousins high school graduation!  So, we won the sectional Friday, my grandma passes Saturday, and the viewing is set for Tuesday which happened to be the same night as our first round of regionals.  I made the decision to drive separate to the tournament, and then head to the funeral home for the viewing, I got there with about 20 mins left and there were still people there!  The funeral was the next day, and it was a beautiful ceremony, for an amazing lady.  My sister's father in law performed the service and what a job he did.  For those that don't know I was SUPER close to my grandma.  She played a major role in my life in 1989-90 when I had the kidney transplant.  My mom would drop me off at her house on her way to work in the morning around 7:30 and my dad would pick me around 4.  So I was spending 5 days a week and a lot of hours and we formed an even tighter bond in that time frame.  I am incredibly fortunate to have those memories of that time with her, while losing her hurt, it was for the best as she was starting to suffer.  She is definitely my guardian angel now. 

That's it, I will see you in March!!  Unless I get an itch to return sooner.
