My First Tennis Match

I promise I'm not avoiding telling you about my fun party! I just thought it might be more fun to share when I have pictures! :)

Meanwhile, I had a Bekahland first recently: I attended my first tennis match!

I've told you before about my friend Pat. He's the one Ryan and I are walking with in the kidney walk this summer. He's had two kidney transplants in his life, and we are walking in support of that!

Well, Pat's a tennis coach at our old high school, and can you believe I'd never been to a match? Friend fail. :( I'd actually not been to a tennis match ever, including my own high school days. A few weeks ago, one of our friends suggested we go watch one of the matches. And even better? We should go as a fan club! Posters!

OKAY!!!

It was the first truly amazing weather day we had this spring, and I was so excited!

We met up at the school and he was definitely surprised! He's impossible to embarrass, even with neon signs. But his team thought it was pretty funny that these two strange women showed up as a coach's fan club!

We knew NOTHING about tennis, and we quickly learned it's more of a quiet sport. Neither of us are overly accused of being quiet sorts of people, so this was a challenge for us!

The girls that played on the courts right in front of us were really good, so we had exciting matches to watch, and the team won!

 It was fun to watch Pat in coaching action!

And it was fun to catch up with high school friends, too! (One of our classmates has a daughter on the team, so we sat with her and had a great time talking with her.)

We had so much fun! We enjoyed being groupies, and when we were done, I stopped by to see my friend Amber, and we went out for ice cream!
