It was a summer of tennis for me! With no big trips taken, that just meant plenty of time to play cardio every day. Nothing better!! But, my knee wasn’t liking that at first and was pretty inflamed and even had some shoulder pain for a few weeks. I did lots of PT with dry needling and cupping…

and then finally went back to Andrews. I was afraid they were going to tell me my meniscus was torn again but, nope! Just arthritis! They pulled a ton of fluid out of my knee and gave me a steroid injection and I was good as new. Thank goodness! Lots of cardio crowns this summer…

Also had some birthday crowns!

Of course my tennis princess was out there sometimes too!

Love love!

New school year, new soccer team! Samantha is now on Pre-ECNL Team 3 and fall soccer is off with a bang! We drove to Atlanta very late Friday night and didn’t get there until about 11pm but we were up and at the fields for the 8am game!

These girls played awesome and won! Hooray!

We then grabbed breakfast and then did a little shopping – Samantha’s favorite part of soccer tournaments! ha!

Our second game was at 12:30 and it was approximately 153 degrees outside! SOOOOO hot. The girls played so hard but we ended up losing 1-2 with a last second goal scored by the other team. Bummer. We then hit up the hotel pool and went out for mexican so all was not lost!

We were back at the field bright and early for an 8am rematch against the same team and unfortunately couldn’t pull out the win.

But that did mean we got to head on back to Birmingham which we were very glad for. Starbucks stop required!

Excited to watch this soccer star play!
