Jackson got a new tennis racquet for his birthday and loves it. He has been playing with a guy from work on Wednesday nights while I am at school. He wanted me to learn to play so he gave me is old racquet. Friday night we went to Washington Park to play because they have a tennis court with just a wall for practice. MacKenzie was with us and kept stealing our balls. Eventually her barking got to be too much and we put her in the car. We played for about an hour until I almost died. Tennis is no joke. Sheesh! We took MacKenzie for a long walk around the park and headed home. It was really fun. We decided that Saturday morning we would take her to a tennis court closer to our house that is normally empty. We let her run after the balls for about an hour. She was in heaven! Anyway, my serve and backhand are getting better, but I'm still not good. At all. Jackson is good, of course. I am semi-annoyed that he is always good at sports.
MacKenzie was pooped after tennis. We went to go hike at Red Rocks and when we got out of the car we noticed blood on MacKenzie's legs. She had run so much that her paw pads were raw. Bummer. We called the vet and they told us to wash her paws and cover them in infant's socks. Too funny. We had to run out and buy infant socks. Do not get me started on going to Wal-Mart at 1:30 on a Saturday. UGH! MacKenzie is on the road to recovery now, thankfully. She will never get to play tennis again. Boo.Other news updates:
-Things with my Grandpa are so-so. Sometimes the news is good. Other times the news is not so good. Please keep him and my Grandma in your prayers.
-Jackson's job interview on Friday went really well. He has another interview on Wednesday. Again, prayers would be great.
-We have a really loud neighbor who is being just awful. We have complained. I am now praying for patience so I don't just freak out on her.
-We got to plant some flowers today and it was really fun! :)
We hope you're having a great weekend.
