Congratulations Matt

On August 11th, Matt found out that he passed his PTR certification and I am so very proud of him. He worked hard studying for this test and then had 2-8 hour days of workshop and a 5 section test to pass. 

Many people are unsure what that is.  PTR stands for Professional Tennis Registry.  It is an International Organization that certifies tennis professionals.  With his certification he is now a licensed Tennis Pro and can work at many different tennis centers around the world.  This is a huge accomplishment, especially on one's first try. 

I have been inspired by a THS 99 alumni whom I have reconnected with via Blogging to start celebrating more of life's events.  Katie does a great job creatively honoring everyone in a way that makes them always feel special.  SO....I took this opportunity to play around in the kitchen and celebrate Matt's new certification.

I used mini M&M's to make the outline of a tennis court

I found these little tennis players and net at the local bakery.

I had a great time making this and Matt and I have had a fun time enjoying the celebration!  ;)
