Let the Tennis Begin

Tonight was Meg's first tennis match of the season.  It was against West Noble and Meg had played their number 1 girl several times during her high school career.  We knew it would be a close match as they had similar games.  Unfortunately, Meg started off slow and had to play catch up from a 0-3 score in the first set.  She did rebound and played very well the rest of the set and well into the second.  It wasn't enough, however, and Meg found herself on the losing end of an 0-2 match.  She was disappointed at first.  She hasn't enjoyed playing this girl and would have liked to have beaten her, but overall she knew that she had improved already from last year and was glad that Doug, Nick, Phillip, Cam and I were there to cheer for her.

As soon as Meg finished and checked in with her coach, we left for home.  Our goal was to get to Chicago tonight in time to eat at Giordano's before heading to our hotel.  I had already packed the Pilot so all we had to do was drop the van off at home and feed the pigs.  We left before 7 p.m.  and since traffic was light we had no issues making it to dinner.  The pizza was as good as we had remembered and check in to the hotel was online making a quick trip to our hotel room.  Cam and Doug had watched the end of the Purdue game at Giordano's and started to watch the Michigan game.  Cam's hope of watching the Wolverines play in Anaheim were quickly dashed as Texas Tech shot out to a large lead early.  Overall, no one was too disappointed as we were ready to call it a night.
