Paityn Goes Pink!!!

This last week was a very difficult week for the Willoughby's

After last weekend with Paityn playing softball with The Oregon Panthers she was a little nervous going to practice on Tuesday with The Breeze (her team). She wasn't sure how to answer the question….What did you do last weekend? Practice ended up going fairly well and with no big issues. On the drive home she was very quiet though.

Wednesday she wanted to go the Salem and practice with The Panthers. She had actually made a call to the coach Terry. She asked if she could continue practicing with them when she could, and he said "yes". So we were on our way down South. After practice she was talking and seemed very happy.

Thursday began the tough part of the week. That is the day that Terry and Paul had spoke and asked if Paityn would like to join The Panthers team. Both Paul and I spoke to Paityn and without much hesitation…she said I want to be a Panther!!! Thursday she had a practice decision to make, both The Breeze and the Panthers had practice and we could only make one. She chose to practice in Salem. After practice Terry called both Paityn and I in to speak with us about joining the team. He just wanted to make sure that we were aware of would the commitment would be with joining The Panthers team.

This decision was up to Paityn. She was the one that would have to practice with the team, play the games, and spend much of her time with. Both Paul and I felt she is old enough to make that decision and we would be there to help guide her if needed.

Friday morning she woke up and called Terry first thing. She told him that she wanted to be a Panther and join his team. Then it was up to Paul and I to tell The Breeze that she was no longer going to be on that team. Paul wanted to take care of that himself, plus we also thought that this needed to be taken care of in person instead of over the phone and Paul was able to take care of this that morning. We also wanted to tell them since both teams would be playing in different tournaments. The Breeze would be playing in Newberg and The Panthers would be playing in Hillsboro.

Paityn is now a Panther officially!!!
