I remember when Jeff and I were engaged, Joanna (Jeff's sis) asked me with a grin, "Are you ready to be a tennis wife?" I scoffed and said, "of course!!" I now know what she meant! A tennis player (at least my Jeff) has so much passion for the sport. It is one of the few that are year-round, so we are usually keeping up with the scores from the tournament on TV, actually visiting a pro tournament OR...Jeff is playing in one himself. That last one is definitely my fav. :) Every July Jeff and his brother Chris play in the PNW Open at Tacoma Lawn Tennis Club. It is so fun- I love going and soaking up the atmosphere. There's a pool there, so I'm always taken back to my swim team days. I remember walking around looking goofy in a swim cap in between (losing) events. (Teehee) Whenever a match doesn't work out in Jeff's favor I try to pick him up a little by telling him that I cannot recall a swimming event that I won- ever. Sad, I know, but I had a blast picking up the 'Most Dedicated' trophy every year. Back to Tennis- It is a pretty club with outdoor courts. Luckily, Jeff found someone to marry that loves to watch him play just as much as he loves to play! I could sit out in the sun and watch him all day. He always says that he wishes I could have seen him play in his better days during High School and College, but I think he's still pretty amazin'! I can't wait to take our little guys here one day to cheer on daddy. Here are a few shots from this year.
