I'm not the athletic type. Sure I'll run around and play. I'M A HUGE FAN OF PLAYING. I think sometimes I take myself too seriously. Its nice to run around like a kid again. That being said, theres some sort of softball team at the ring. I think. Sign up was a few weeks ago but I've not heard anything else about it...
So Court and I signed up. Let me describe Courtney. She's one of the most beautiful women I've met. Inside and out. She's tall, has a fantastic smile, is extremely gifted with children, can tan like a Mexican jumping bean, and loves Jesus with every part of her. And when I say Court and I signed up, what I mean is I signed Court and I up. We always talk about how we need exercise. So this is just as good as anything else. Frankly I need the discipline of someone holding me accountable in getting my rear in shape.
Saturday morning we were out at the park. Court was learning the basics of softball. She's going to be good. She catches on real quick. Unfortunately, she learned the toughest lesson in softball saturday. I pegged her in the shin with the softball. Not intentionally! It bounced and knocked her shin.
She says I threw it a thousand miles an hour. (Not true.) But she definitely went into the fetal position and started crying. I felt like a jerk even though it was an accident. After the tears dried and she could walk again, I told her that was as bad as it got. Once you get hit with the ball, you're not so scared of it anymore. We threw a few more times then it was on to batting. She would begrudgingly swing at it. I told her to get mad. Throw a little umph into it! Sure enough, the more mad she got the better her swing got until she was knocking those whiffle balls into the outfield...
I'm excited to see how much she'll improve when we practice again...
