One of the sweetest things Amelia said about her coach~

"He's my hero"...

that's the best compliment I can think of~

Beautiful girls~

Couldn't be more proud of our senior!

Tennis Finale

Amelia and Rosemary had their last tennis match yesterday

in the first round of the state tournament.

To quote my sweet friend Lori~

"When you give it your all....

regardless of the outcome..you are never a loser!!"

The team played hard to the end.

Amelia and Sarah were the last to walk off the court

and I fought hard to hold back the tears...

until I caught sight of Amelia's glistening eyes.

There was no holding back then...

Amelia and Sarah have been doubles partners for four years

and to know that was the last match they would probably play

was a little overwhelming.

It seems like yesterday when we had just moved to Hartwell

and Amelia asked if she might take tennis lessons

and go out for the high school tennis team.

Rosemary is following right in her sister's footsteps...

first year on HS team with her sweet friends

and watching Amelia makes me realize

just how fast the next three years will go.

After the match,

Coach Burch took the girls to our local Mexican place

to celebrate a great season.

A wonderful group of girls!!!

Coach Burch with seniors~

Amelia, Nicole, and Sarah.

Amelia's biggest fan, her dad~

US too!

And my sweet friend Cyrise with her daughter Sarah...

It is SO bittersweet for it all to come to an end

but most things do to make way for bigger and better. :)

That's what I'm telling myself anyway.

SO thankful our girls are part of such an amazing group

blessed over and over by friendship!!!

Amelia Week
