Let the Packing Begin

It's hard to believe that it's time to start thinking about packing for our trip to Palm Springs to play our first husband/wife event. We've talked about it for so long, and for it to finally be here is a bowl of mixed emotions. Mostly feeling relief (from the anticipation), a lot of excitement (going to Palm Springs for the first time), a little nervousness (usual pre-tournament jitters), a smidge guilt (for leaving work). Phil and I have been playing and practicing to get ready. For me, I probably haven't put in as much time on the practice court as I'd like, due to the work load we are carrying right now. But when we have been on the practice court, our workouts have been very efficient. We are going into this event with a great attitude....mostly feeling gratitude for being able to do what we do, and do it together. We are more than blessed.

Our friends, family and club members could not be more supportive of us making this trip. For me, it eases much of the anxiety I have felt leading up to this week. We'll get a few more good practice days in, then head out after work on Thursday. I have posted a link to the tournament to the right of this post.

More later.......
