Last night on the way home from dropping Brett off at IU, we kept in contact with our friend Tammy who also has a son that plays Varsity tennis. Cal had a match an hour away and we knew that we would not be home to cheer him, so Tammy said that she could fit that role. Cal was moved to number 3 singles and we were thrilled to hear that he won his first match 6-4 and 6-3. Sounds like it was a long one, almost two hours, but he played well. As an added bonus, the team won as well, only losing one court (number 2 singles.) It was a good confidence builder. Cal's coach told me at the beginning of summer, if they could win two matches, they would double their win record from last year. So, now, just one more to go to reach that goal! Tonight's match was cancelled because of rain, so we will have a busy week next week with three matches all in a row. Glad that he decided to play and happy that the boys are doing well.
Heard from Brett a couple of times today. After the last text I realized that I had finally relaxed. I have been worried about him meeting people and finding things to do. Last night he said, "Joined a bunch of people to watch Breaking Away at the film room in my dorm. It's a great movie!" Then he planned to head to the library for games and activities. Of course, heading out in college is 10:00 p.m. I was asleep shortly after that. Happy that he is enjoying his adventure. Can't wait to hear more!
