Rain in the Desert!

Well, it happened, it finally rained! It has been sunny and hot for a straight month since I moved back here and today there is the smell of fresh rain outside! I love it. After living on the island, I never thought I would be so happy to see a little bit of rain! It's still quite warm outside, but the fresh, cool rain is wonderful!

We've got a big game tonight and we're down our best hitter. She rolled her ankle two days ago...yikes. We really need her, especially right now. This team has struggled so much and what a bummer to hit another bump in the road. Hopefully we will have all of this craziness out of the way by the time we hit conference. We could use a really good win. It would boost the moral on the team. They are just having such a hard time balancing confidence with cockiness. We either think we're "all that" or nothing at all. They're young, though, and have much to learn.

Blessings,
Amanda
