Jumping In

Before Spring Break began, I told myself I needed to be productive. This is my final semester, and I can’t leave anything to chance. With that said, I’ve made a list of everything I should do this week…it’s a long list. I probably won’t get it all done, so I have to prioritize.

But the best part will probably be tomorrow, because I’m reuniting with some old loves. One is my grandma, the second is tennis. I see my grandmother every single Sunday at church. She gives me one pack of Big Red gum, tells me “Que Dios te bendiga,” and gives me a big hug. It never fails. But I’m so involved in church that I don’t have time to sit with her and just chat. So tomorrow I’m going to run a few errands with her, and just catch up on life. I can’t wait to share the details of my life with her, and to hear the details of hers. AND… because she knows me so well, she is making my favorite dish ever…OXTAIL with white rice and black beans!!!

After my date with granny I’m going to play tennis with a friend I recently made. Last week I was having a conversation about my tennis days, and she overheard. Apparently she played tennis is HS also, and has been looking for someone to play with since she got to college! So after four long years of not even touching my racquet, I’m going to get to PLAY! I can’t wait. Tennis is the ONLY sport I’m actually good at. And aside from making a new friend, this one game has the potential to turn into a monthly thing for us…who knows!

Anyways I’m really looking forward to it. I get to spend the day doing things I love, with genuinely kind hearted people.
