Happy Birthday, Marla

Today, one of my sweet & wonderful friends will be joining me at 32 :)  Happy Birthday, Marla.  Marla & I played softball together in college and yes, it's been almost 14 years. I'm not sure that could be right since it seems like just last year we were getting up early for practice, cruising the town(s) and winning some games & being shut in between 2 hotel joining doors.  :)

Marla is one of the best ball players I've ever met.  She is so competitive and loves everything about fast pitch softball.   I remember one game Marla was playing 2nd base & had to tag the runner.  The runner slid & stood up on Marla's leg.  Mind you, we wore metal cleats in those games.  This left a huge gash in Marla's leg.  She was such a baller, she didn't even notice until our SS pointed it out.  Marla rubbed dirt in it & said, "It's fine, I can still play."  Well, she ended up going & getting stitches, A LOT OF STITCHES.

The PCC sophomores.....great times!!

I smile every time I think back to our College days.  

As Marla had mentioned in her blog, we only live 30 miles away from each other & we still play summer ball together.  I have to agree with her when she said we should get together more often .  I always have a great time with Marla Hooch   :)
