On Friday, my dad and I went golfing at our country club. We spent most of the afternoon on the course and were able to play nine holes. It was my first time playing since my back injury in November, so I was especially glad to be back out there. Normally, we keep score and try to be competitive, but since it had been a while for both of us, we decided to skip the scorecard and just enjoy the round.
I was grateful for the chance to spend quality one on one time with my dad. Since I live two states away and am a full time student athlete, I do not get many opportunities to visit home, let alone spend meaningful time together. Some of the most valuable lessons I have learned have come from time spent with him on the golf course, so being back out there brought back a lot of great memories.
For the rest of the weekend, I spent time at home with our three dogs. When I am away at school, I find myself missing them quite a bit. Recently, my family got a puppy, so I was especially excited to see him. When I saw him this weekend, he had already grown to 25 pounds. The last time I saw him, he was only 10 pounds, so it was a big difference. Even so, he still recognized me and played with me all weekend.
On Easter Sunday, I was able to have breakfast with my entire family, including my mom, dad, brother and sister. They arrived home from Florida late Saturday night, so it was nice to all be together. We ended the weekend by going to a Chicago Bulls game, where they played the Phoenix Suns. I enjoyed the game even more because I am a Suns fan.
After the game, I drove back to school with one of my teammates. Overall, I was very grateful for Easter weekend because it gave me the chance to relax, recharge and spend meaningful time with my family.
