Jenni's Seasons

Happy Friday!!  As always, I'm linking up with Texas bloggers  Andrea   and   Erika   for some favorites from the week.  I skipped last week because I was at a Southern Sectionals tennis tournament and this week I am preparing to leave for a family vacation at Dale Hollow Lake!  Way to close out the summer, right?? Let's dive in. . . Southern Sectional Tennis Tournament These ladies are the core of my tennis life.  I'm really lucky to live in an area with LOTS of teams, lots of tennis, and lots of opportunities.  The captain of this  team invited me to play with her several years ago and I have grown and advanced with this core group.   I originally wasn't going to participate in this tournament because I had just gone the weekend before with another team, the one I can/could advance with -- I was bumped out of range with three others pictured here this season.  I ran into our captain on Tuesday, prayed about it (again), signed up Wednesday morning, and was out the door

I read a post today and I wanted to share. Fifteen Years (click on the link to take you to the post) Shay Shull inspires me.  I don't remember exactly when  I started reading her blog -- I don't think she was the first I started consistently reading, but I've probably read her blog consistently the longest (if that makes sense?).  The bloggers that inspire me/I rely on their content the most are in my sidebar, and hers has always been there.  I am ten years older than her in age and season in life but still, she inspires.  She reminds me A LOT of my sister, so maybe that is some of it, but also, she is "my kind of person".   The first time I ever saw this quote it was like someone had finally  explained to me who I am.   I am not saying that she is "too much". . .but I can imagine that others look at her and think, "how does she do it all?".  *I* look at her and think the same thing -- ha! She pushes and inspires me, without even knowing who I
