Soccer

What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

I played soccer from the time that I was knee high until college. I played on school teams, travel teams, indoor teams, and private club teams. Then as an adult, I played pick up soccer in Virginia.

Honestly, I miss that time in my life. I was in the best physical shape, I had a lot of fun, and it kept my body and mind busy.

The last time that I played soccer was over the summer. My brother just moved in with us and he had an itch to go outside and kick the ball around – except neither of us had the equipment anymore. So, we drove to two stores and found cleats that we both liked and K got a ball as well.

We drove to the fields over by our house (this small park with soccer nets up). We played for two hours in the hot sun while my husband laid in the shade (he wasn’t feeling well at the time, I don’t remember what was wrong). But when we were done playing, we went to Rosters for beer and food.

I remember that day feeling so content. I hope I’ll get to return to that again soon.
