I got my first bit of sadness yesterday. Three weeks is pretty long to be gone, but I travel so much for work I am not that nervous about being gone for three weeks.
I coach 11-year-old basketball in Arlington (one of the DC suburbs) and I've been doing it since October of 2007. My team is a great group of girls that have so vastly improved I can't even believe it's the same team I started with four months ago! Coaching these girls has been one of the best things I've done in the city since I got here four years ago. Last night, I had to let the girls know that this weekend would be my last weekend with them. I didn't really think they would think anything of it, but they all seemed a little bummed. I knew I was sad to leave them for their end of season play, but I never realized they might be too!
I still have to pinch myself daily - well, almost hourly - to remind myself about the incredible adventure I'm about to have, but I still am a little saddened leaving my girls. They'll do wonderful in end of season play I know, and I'll certainly keep tabs on them!
