Tennis Moment

I wanted to write a quick entry about a wonderful afternoon I had with Rachel. On Saturday, we signed up for the friends and family cancer tennis tournament. This is the first time we have really ever played together, and it was one of the most fun times I have ever had playing tennis. Their were 4 other pairs, and we played all of those teams. We played for four hours and were hot and tired by the end. The first match we played, we lost 1-12. During that time, I thought to myself, I don't really care if we win, I'm having fun playing with my daughter. Of course I was playing to win, but that wasn't what was important to me at that moment. When we were done with that match the lady in charge asked if we won, and then when I told her the score, she was floored. She thought we had won because we were playing some good tennis. We played no add scoring, and we lost every duce we had. Sometimes the score doesn't reflect how you played,(and that's OK). I also was so impressed with the way Rachel played. She was way better than me, and WOW did she play well. We ended up loosing the next one by not much (to a 4.0 player & a Varsity girl on Rachel's team) and then winning the last two matches. We didn't get any pictures, which I was sad about, but I will always remember our first tournament together.
