Sometimes we have to act like teenagers again…

Sometimes I get stressed. Sometimes I feel like I am not having any fun in life. Sometimes I need a break. Sometimes it feels so good to let loose and have fun with a good friend. That is what I was able to do this past weekend. My good friend, Bridget Stowers, and I drove up to Minot to watch the State Volleyball tournament. The stress of the last three months melted away and I was able to just be me again. No angry parents, no late nights doing homework, correcting, watching game tape, or planning practice. Just relaxing and having a good old crazy time!

We had a ton of fun on the drive, exploring the town, at the mall, and in our hotel. We met a few new friends and hung out with our coaching buddies throughout the weekend.

Friday night we stayed up until 3:00 in the morning, managed to make it to our 8:00 coaches meeting on Saturday morning, and took in the new flick, Twilight. Great movie, highly recommend it! We made it back to Casselton around 3:00 Sunday morning and wow, were we tired. Looking back on the weekend I see it as a great memory to look back on when I am feeling stressed.

My senior, Kayla Nelson, was named to the All State Team and will play in the All Star Match next summer. I am very proud of her and her team this year. They were a great group of girls and I wish they could have been playing in the tournament this past weekend.

Sometimes we have to let loose and act like we are sixteen year old girls again and that is OK. It is OK to have a good time and relax after a long season.
