My mom back in '07 |
She's definitely inspired me to play!! Me, my sister (who played softball throughout high school), and other family members watch her play every year. She just makes it look so easy. I wanted to get back out there so bad! I intended on playing with her before I left, but I didn't get the opportunity to do that. The opportunity presented itself here and fairly early on, so I took it as a sign.
The first time I met my team's coach (which was probably like the 2nd or 3rd week after I started) he invited me to play on the company team. Mind you, I started in August...the softball season had just ended and he was already recruiting for the next year! He says he asks all the new employees to play and usually people don't. I told him I would, but I'm sure he hears that from other coworkers who end up coming up with excuses later on...but I was serious about my commitment!

I've enjoyed every minute of playing. The last time I played softball was in the 7th or 8th grade, so I was a little rusty. I've gotten better as the season has gone on and now that I feel like I'm at my peak, the season is almost over!!
The name on my jersey says "K-Town Tarheel"! K-Town for my hometown of Kinston. Tarheel for the greatest school in the world...The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I'm a representer of both, so I felt it was very fitting! Also, I use number 4, which is the Henderson number. Every sport we all play, we all use the number 4.
It's been good to get out and be active and I've met some great people! There's a fall league that I'm considering playing in, but I'm not sure. Fall is a busy season! We'll just have to see.
There are three games left. Wish us luck!

Sounds like you've been having fun! I know your mom is cheering you on from back home. :-)
ReplyDeletep.s. Today I got my hair braided. :-)
DeleteI get that #4 is the Henderson number...but why is that?
ReplyDeleteMario's number is 11. The first one is for Christ as number 1 and the second is for himself as number 1. Together the numbers look like the roman number II, since he is the second (i.e. Mario P. II). I really like all the meaning behind a number like that :), so that's why I ask!
Because there are 4 of us (originally - Mom, Dad, me, & Neesha)!!
