Bartow Volleyball Tournament/High School Reunion

The Varsity volleyball team that I coach is now 11-0 after winning the Bartow Invitational Volleyball Tournament! YAY! We played 4 games yesterday and were hoping that we would get out of there at a decent time so Brett and I could make it to my 10 year high school reunion in downtown Orlando. (which is about an hour and a half from Bartow) The tournament had some very competitive teams and our girls played awesome which landed them a spot in the Championship match and a trophy to take home at the end of the night. After the last game started about an hour and a half later than it was scheduled to start we left the gym very late. Brett and I went home to shower and get dressed quickly and by the time we got to downtown Orlando the reunion was over. We went to one of the bars a couple of blocks away where most of the people who were at the reunion went for the after party. After talking with a couple of people who I actually liked in high school I realized that I'm so glad that I didn't leave my tournament early to rush to the majority of people that I didn't care about 10 years ago--b/c I still really don't care for them today either! I said my hellos and made small talk to a couple of people but my closest friends from h.s. are still my friends today. Brett and I, and my good friend Paula and her husband James, left about an hour after getting there and headed to the Ale House for a late night dinner which was the highlight of the night. We were exhausted after the late night and couldn't wait to get some sleep! I'm so proud of my undefeated team and so glad how everything worked out. It looks like I'm going to get my $70 refund for the reunion tickets that I wasn't able to use that I bought months in advance. My friend Paula asked me, "Do you think I can get my money back too since I didn't have any fun there?" Paula said she was mainly going to the reunion b/c I was going as well as our friend Laura. We all know my story and Laura got the stomach flu the day before the reunion. Oops! Sorry Paula!
