So I was hoping to post about how one of my volleyball teams had won the championship, but neither did. :( No offense to my Wednesday night team but we were seeded 7th of 8 teams and had no chance. We lost the first game (21-18, which was much better than I expected). On the other hand, my Thursday night team was seeded 3rd of 8 teams and I thought we had a championship in the bag. We played well in our first two games but in the finals fell apart (25-12) against a team who was scrappy and could roll instead of just smashing the ball. If you win the championship, you get a tshirt and that is always my goal. I have played out at Mango's Volleyball (off Sherwood Forest) since the summer after 8th grade. That comes out to about 7.5 years (wow, I feel old). In my time out there, I have only won a championship twice. Although neither of my teams won a tshirt (yes, that is all I really care about), I am glad that I was able to play two nights a week this season. I am hoping to play two man in February next year, something that I have yet to really explore.
In my last post I talked about how my back was hurting and we didn't really know what was going on. Well last night my back was killing me while I was playing volleyball. It has hurt the last few weeks when I play but I haven't been in that much pain in a while. I may or may not (definitely did) have a sobbing meltdown in the car yesterday on my way home from volleyball. I am still in a good bit of pain today, but nothing I can't handle. I only have two more weeks until we fly out to Minnesota. I am holding out until then in hopes that the doctors there can tell me what's actually going on. I am not asking for pity or trying to complain (because honestly I hate when people complain); I am just posting to update everybody on what is going on. Also, it is very nice to get these things off my chest even if I am not telling it to someone face to face.
I do have a funny story to tell y'all about how my family is flying to Minnesota. We were supposed to leave Saturday, November 8th but guess who LSU plays in football that day? Alabama. At home. And anyone who knows me knows that I would never miss that game in Death Valley. So my parents and Lance are flying out on Saturday while I go to the game. I will drive to New Orleans Saturday night and stay at one of my best friend's house. Then we will wake up at 4:30/5:00am to get to the airport because my flight leaves at 7:30 in the morning on Sunday. Shout out to Sarah for being the best roomie eva!!
