My week

This week was really good. I had basketball Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and I am getting back into the habit of going to practice for at least two hours every day. I am still a little internally torn about playing this year because I am so focused on the negatives of playing; I can't even remember the good parts sometimes.

I don't have much to say...except that I am so glad it is Friday. This is my last free weekend before Basketball. sad thought... sigh... it sounds like b-ball is a terrible thing, re-reading what I wrote, and I don't necessarily want to come off that way. I just need to prepare myself mentally for the season because it really affects me, and I am super nervous for tryouts and how I will hold up.

On a lighter note, we found out this week that my cousin Ben is going to Columbia for his mission!!! They taped him opening it (he is at college right now) and put it up on YouTube, so if you want to see it, here it is.

That's all I got.

You know basketball season is coming up when...

...when it takes me almost a week to blog! I have been so busy lately! Yesterday (Saturday) I played in three Fall League games; one at three, six, and eight. They have 2 20-minute halfs. Last week there were only six of us and this week there was twice that many, so it was nice. I have several nice bruises now, one little teeny one right under my eye from someone's elbow, and one on the back of my head, it is still kind of a blur how I got that one... anyways we were done at around nine, so mom picked me up, got me Subway, and then we decided to go to Serranos to get some awesome bean dip! Lucky for us they close at 10 on Saturdays. YUM.

Friday night I went on a date, and had a great time!! We went to the haunted house by Fiesta Mall. It was really fun :)

I have about two weeks until tryouts. I am very nervous for them but only because the girls who want to make Varsity have to make a 7:30 mile. And I don't think I am ever going to make that. AH!!

Bryndee tagged me

Ok, so I got this from Bryndee, who no doubt got it from a huge chain of bloggers, and I have to list seven things that people don't really know about me.

1) I have a funky birthmark on my tummy that is pretty big.
2) I am left eye dominant (if that makes sense).
3) I am very fidgety, I am always moving my hands and have a hard time just sitting still during class. It is something I struggle with.
4) I am jealous of my brother Luke's eyelashes, because they are longer and thicker than mine.
5) I have not gotten my Personal Progress Medallion yet (still working on it!)
6) I really enjoy vacuuming.
7) I am so sick of Little Ceaser's Pizza!!

Here is where I would tag people, but no one would probably do it because they have already been tagged so I am just skipping that step of awkwardness and not tagging anyone! :) That was fun.

Wow.

This week has gone by so fast!! I cannot believe that it is already Saturday!! Here is what I did this week:

A bunch of my friends and I went to the movies to see Eagle Eye, and we stopped in at HDOS to visit Mike, who was working. Here is Trent, Janessa, and Sam after we visited Mike.

Then, the next day, we all went over to Polar Ice to go ice skating:

Here is Chelsea- Right before I took this one, I tried to take another one, but she totally almost fell and the picture was hilarious and embarrassing so I chose to put this one up instead!

Mike. I thought this picture looked cool! Roxy and Matt

Nick, Keillor and Lexi

Then we went to a person's house to watch Ace Ventura, which is hilarious.

The next day we went to another persons house, and certain events led to some of us jumping into her pool. When it was really windy outside, at night. Smart, I know.

Ya, this picture is not embarrassing at all! ~ Don't we look like we are having fun?? :)

~~~So today I played in a basketball game in Mesa with girls from our team at school. I thought we were only playing one game (2 20-minute halves) but at the end of the game, our coach surprised us by telling us that we had another one - in ten minutes. There were only six of us, so we only had one sub. Well, I was pretty beat by the end of the second one. But it was good practice!!

Fall Break

This is my second day into Fall Break (technically it has been four since school ended, but the weekend does not count) and I am not really bored yet. I haven't left the house much; tonight was Nick's band concert so I had to leave, but they sounded really good, so it was worth it. I am planning to do stuff later on this week, and it has been really nice just staying at home, playing Guitar Hero, watching TV and movies. I helped Lexi start a blog, which she wasnt very excited about but I needed a project and she is warming up to it. Check it out.

Friday Night Football!

Last night was our Homecoming Football game, versus Perry. We totally beat them, 38-11. It was awesome because there were so many people there and everyone was so pumped and everything. And it was the first game where our mascot Anthony was in his blackhawk suit! We weren't sitting in the student section because there is too much bad language, especially with my younger brother there, so we sat by the band with a bunch of people. Here is Keillor and Nick, blinded by the flash of the camera. I think Nick was eating at the time...
Here is Mckay, Anika, and Keillor. I don't think I gave Keillor enough time to get ready to smile before I took the picture! :) Mckay is dressed up because he was nominated for Homecoming Court. Sadly, he didn't win. Better luck next year Mckay!
Here is our stud-football team running onto the field.

This isn't a good picture, but this is our marching band and flag team getting ready for the half time show. They are actually really good; they just went to a competition last week and got superior in all five categories. So ya, they are pretty good. :)

This is a little belated but here is Mike and Kayla last week at Homecoming.

This was the first day of Fall Break, and I didn't leave the house once! YAY for lounging around!
