Ever meet one of those families whose entire world revolves around one sports team? 
Like their house is painted their teams colors, and they have signed jerseys and all that stuff? 
Ya. 
You know what I'm talking about. 

Well, my family is not like that..usually, and by usually I mean that tennis is our one exception.
Luckily, you can't really paint a house the color of a tennis team or player, but you can keep tennis on 24/7 and that's pretty much what we do. 

My Dad went to a tennis academy in Florida when he was a teenager, and was planning on playing tennis professionally until the Lord asked him to be a pastor. However, his love for tennis stayed the same and was passed down to his kids. 
Now, I know what you're thinking.. "Does she play?"
The answer, is no. BUT, I do absolutely love to watch, and this time of year is possibly one of my favorite times to do so. 
People, it's Wimbledon time! Now, that means British accents, very white clothing, strawberries and cream, and the grunts and screams (...oh those girls) of players as they try to win every game. 
Gotta love it.
Maybe one of these years I'll go to the actual event, but for now I'm enjoying the tradition of Wimbledon with my family right here at home. 


(Go, Murray!)
