Team Bonding

Jessica made the JV Volleyball team at her high school. We are very proud of her for trying out a new sport. She has played volleyball before, but had not really learned the game. She went to all of the summer workouts and tried out for the team. It was a sad for Doug and I to not have her play softball. She has been playing softball for 10 years and is an amazing player, but she has lost the drive to play it. She says it is not fun to her anymore. She wanted to try volleyball. When Jessica puts her mind to something she accomplishes it. Her first game is in a tournament this weekend that our school is hosting. The girls on her team wanted to have a team bonding sleepover, which we agree to have at our house. These are a great group of girls for my daughter to be spending time with. They were all very polite, said there please and thank yous. Just a great group of girls, unlike the girls on the softball team, who only cared about themselves. Jessica is very HAPPY!!!!! The girls enjoyed root beer floats and pizza, SSHH don't tell the coach. I forgot to mention that they worked a tournament that night and had to be back up at the school to work all day Saturday also. They all survived, even Doug and I. They did take over our basement. Seven out of the nine girls were able to be there. Good luck this year Jessica. We love you and our proud of you!!!!!
