first week in august

the past few years this day has always made me sad. for years and years and years, on this monday i would always start my first day of volleyball. and double days. we would have physicals, our first team meeting where we would meet transfers and incoming freshmen, and of course, our first practice. i miss it.

i miss the smell of the gym

the nerves i would always get the first day

putting on my cold shoes, ankle braces, and knee pads after having them sit for a month or two

lunch breaks with the girls

every muscle being sore and feeling like i need to ice my entire body

i miss playing and competing and traveling and the girls

but i guess being married and pregnant is pretty good too....
