Our volleyball team made it to the final tournament of the season. We have been playing pretty good this last session and felt like we had a pretty good shot at winning. We won our first set of games so we moved onto the next round. We won the first game but then lost the second game. We were up on the third game but had a run of bad plays and ended up losing the third game. We all felt a little disappointed because we knew we could have won it. They were a well matched team and were fun to play. If it weren't for those few bad plays I don't think we would have felt as disappointed. It was a fun summer playing volleyball with our team. They are a great group of friends and we have made some fun memories this year with them. It has been so good for us to be able to play. A great outlet for us with all that is going on in our lives. Often times it would be the only night of the week that JJ and I would see and spend time together. It was almost like a date night in the middle of the week since we would mostly leave our kids at home. With Covid I was nervous to play but I am so glad we did.
They texted and asked if we would bring Lucy to the games, they had a gift for her. We kept it a surprise and just invied all the kids to come with us to see us play our last games. They like coming and were happy to cheer us on. In between the games they gave Lucy a gift bag and told her they had something for her. She was surprised! She opened it up and they gave her a new iPad, some wireless headphone and a keyboard for her iPad. She broke down and started to cry, so did most of the volleyball team. We were all so surprised by their generosity. It was such a sweet moment! Lucy was completely taken aback and couldn't believe it. We are so touched by their sweet gesture and feel so lucky to have such great friends. They truly are like family and we know they are there for us if we ever need anything.
