When I think of home, I think of pickleball. I love spending time with my family, who includes my dad, Andy, mom, Kristin, brother, HT, and Taylor, my dog. I have a really strong connection with my dog, and we love to play, sleep, eat and repeat together. When I say I love her, I mean it. She just really gets me. TayTay inspires me to get up and live my life everyday. Every summer, we go to Texas to visit my extended family. That includes my grandmother, who stays at the nicest retirement home I have ever seen. At the retirement home, there is a pickleball court, and when my family and I decided to play one day, it changed our lives forever. Flashback to now, me and my friends go play pickleball every Sunday night for hours on end, and when our family decided to renovate our backyard, we knew we had to add a pickleball court to make everyone happy. Coming in late September 2023 is the Stinson Family pickleball court in my backyard. Anyone is free to come and play, as pickleball is a very community based sport.
