Santa Barbara Ping Pong Tourney

Thanks to Marc's amazing Craig's List purchase (a $20 ping pong table), ping pong has become an obsession at Santa Barbara. To help feed the obsession, our ward set up a co-ed ping pong tournament. Marc and I are partners, and I'm not going to lie, I was REALLY nervous for our first game. I mean, while I'd like to think that I have pretty good hand-eye coordination thanks to years of playing sports, I'm not exactly what you'd call a ping pong pro. To top it all off, this whole tournament was Marc's idea, he's actually GOOD at ping pong, he's super competitive...and if I blew the game, especially in the first round, it was going to be bad. I was nervous for the game the whole day. I even day dreamed about what to do if someone sent a ping pong bullet my way during the game. By the time game time arrived, I was so worked up and nervous that I was shaking. After getting the jitters out during warm ups, Marc did fantastic and I wasn't so bad myself. We won and I was SO relieved. I stayed and watched some of the games after ours, and to be completely honest we have a tough road ahead of us if we want to win those customized t-shirts they promised. I'll keep you updated.
