Eyes of JB: A Slightly Crazy View of Life

You know those times where you just have to hang out with somebody? Today was one of those times. Kassie and I have wanted to get together for a while to hang out, so we were finally both open today(really yesterday now). Guess what we decided to do? We went and played tennis, outside, on one of the coldest days of the year. Yeah, real smart. But we had fun anyway. Sure, it was freezing, but we didn't really care. We got a bunch of pictures(if you want to check out a few, check out her blog) and a bunch of laughs. What was really funny was the whole getting-hit-in-the-head experience. Oh boy. So Kassie and I were passing the ball back and forth, and talking about our schoolwork. Then she was like, "Ok this is pretty random, but have you ever been hit in the face with a tennis ball?". My response? "No, I haven't had the privilege yet. Note the word yet." Then we laughed. A little while later, we still passing the ball, and my brother was playing by himself nearby. All of a sudden, his ball shot off his racket and flew in my direction. Kassie shouted a warning, and I turned toward her voice, POP!. The ball hit the bill of my cap, and bounced to the ground. She was like, "Oh my gosh! Are you ok?". I was laughing because it hadn't hurt at all, and she was like freaking out. But then, we remembered out discussion earlier, and we burst out laughing. It was great. And warming up at Starbucks later with hot chocolate definitely made the day even greater. Next time you want to get together with your best pals, don't be afraid to go to the extreme. It's always worth it.
