Beach Volleyball

Good evening. So Life has been pretty much beach volleyball. Not a bad thing. Sun, sand, exercise. I love it. I have now played in 3 US tourneys since I have been back in the US. Wow, a different game than FIVB. The players are young and new, but big and physical. Today I was in Long Beach for the Young Guns tourney. Tough one, again. It has been quite a trek playing with different players just to earn points. Although I am feeling great about my game, I have not been successful in winning the tough matches. Experience means a LOT. I am having fun and am ready to qualify in Riverside this week!

Been a While

For anyone that still follows this, I apologize for the delay. I am now keeping up 3 blogs and once I finishe one, i feel like copying and pasting. But, not everyone cares about all the things i blab about. I am going to copy and paste this one from the team blog....I am writing this from Ft. Lauderdale! What an interesting 2 weeks its been. I have been staying with a good friend Brandon in Ft. Lauderdale. I have explored a bit of Miami, Tampa, and Panama City. In addition to rain storms, thunder storms, and near hurricane weather. I will do my best to keep this as updated as my brain can do......here is the copy and paste:
Although there is no place I'd rather be than California, Florida is not so bad. I have traveled through the entire state by car...unplanned. It all started Thursday, March 19 when I arrived in Ft. Lauderdale with Kim. We were playing the Young Guns tourney...took a 13th place...ugh! Played in rain and wind! Kim left Saturday to return to Cali...I stayed. I have some friends down here that I set up training with for Tuesday and Wednesday! But, here's the crazy part....Wednesday before we practiced one of the girls training had an open casting call for a Neutrogena commercial. She brought three of us with her to try out. I got a call back Wednesday night to be at the Plantation Park by noon Thursday. I did have a a 9am flight out Thursday, but this was an opportunity not to be missed! So, I rearranged my flight, flew to Tampa at 2:30pm after the call back. Rented a car, drove to Panama City (5 1/2 hours)...during the drive I received 2 phone calls, one from an agent and one from the Casting company. I got the job....out of 250 people. I did shoot the commercial today. Very easy! On a plane tomorrow and back home:)
