Surprises and becoming a 2L

One of the presents I got Chad for his birthday back in June was a tennis racket. It has yet to be used since I didn't have a tennis racket of my own...that is until this weekend. Chad came home on Saturday with this sweet surprise for me. I was so excited to have my very own tennis racket for the first time in my life. Plus he got me the Hope tennis racket that supports breast cancer which made it even more special. I'm sure playing tennis will look awkward with my pregnant belly, but then again I look awkward running now too and that hasn't stopped me yet. I can't wait to get out and put this racket to use!Today was the first day of school for Chad as a 2L (2nd year law student). I should've gotten up this morning with him this morning (which was before 5am) to help him get ready, but me and my pregnant body were dead to the world at that time so he was on his own today. This semester is going to be even more crazy and stressful for Chad since he is packing on 4 law classes and an MBA class on top of working. I just may never see him this semester, but I know it'll be worth it in the long run. He is such a hard worker and so dedicated to his school work. He's pretty much amazing! So here's to you, Chad, starting your second year of law school. One down, only two more to go! Wahoo!

Spence and I are totally going to play tennis for our "together hobby" when our kids are older, but we have yet to ever play together - so good job for already having rackets!! Good luck to Chad too:)

Dad bought me a racket once, mostly as "his" present, but I never really liked the game, he loves to play. Thanks for buying breast cancer items, sweet of him to do that!! Way to go Chad on your 2nd year, times flies, hard to believe your've done a year. Hang in there both of you.

What a cute sport to play together! I have no coordination when it comes to tennis so Brad won't let me play anymore. And yeah for Chad! I hope the time goes by quickly!!!

I love tennis! Todd and I always talk about going to play, but for some reason we don't make it too often . . .

Oh, my gosh I have that exact racket and I love it! I guess we need to be tennis buddies with matching rackets!We should get some pink balls and play, preggie and all!
