Spring Time!



I'm on an intramural team with some of the girls on my floor and it has been a blast! We aren't that good at all...but it's still fun! The regular season we only had one win, but it was a good one! One of the players of the other team fouled out so they only had four players for a lot of the game.. but we are still going to count it as a victory for us! Our friend Jill claims she doesn't play basketball very well so she was appointed coach. She's been great! She'll even dress up like a coach and bring a white board and markers to the game. It actually helps a ton! Well last night we had our first tournament game....and we WON!!! It did help that the other team was all over 25 and one player was about 8 months pregnant. I think I even heard her talking about contractions right before we started playing! :S haha But she was their best player! We were all scared to guard her because of the baby! But we managed a win and are going to the next round! Who knows, maybe we'll win a shirt after all! (intramural champs win shirts, very coveted thing here on campus..) After the game we all dumped our water bottles over Coach Richards(Jill) , we didn't have any coolers handy. She led us to a great victory!! Hopefully we can continue on in the bracket!!

After the great victory we decided to conquer the mountain! Some of our friends had never hiked up to the Y so we decided to go for it! It's a pretty easy hike and it was a really pretty night! There were no clouds in the sky and you could see the stars so well! It was so much fun! One thing that some of my friends started doing was to lay upside down on the top of the Y so you could look out and see the city lights as if they were stars. It sounds kind of weird but it's pretty fun! That was my third time climbing up to the Y! It's a lot of fun! It makes me want to hike more! Maybe I will this summer!



Well spring is slowly coming! It's nice to be able to walk to class and not have ten layers on! The other day I went with my friends Kelsey and Jill, both of whom I'm living with next year, and took pictures of things around campus and the pretty weather. Of course we had to take some with ourselves in them so here are a few!

College Life!

Well I'm almost done with my first year at the university. I love it! It's been such a great experience to be away from home and to do things on my own. I love all the things i'm learning both in my classes and outside. It's been such a growing experience for me. I've made some great friends here that I'm going to live with next year and hopefully stay close to for many years to come. My sister Laura is also going to live with us. It'll be fun to be closer to her as we've become better friends this year because we are both living in the same area. I'm sad to see my freshman year come to a close. It'll be hard to go home for the whole summer and say bye to good friends. But I am excited to be with family again because I miss them so much! And the whole no school thing is pretty exciting as well!

Hello Blog world!

Well Laura my sister convinced me to get a blog.. I'm kind of excited but a little overwhelmed with all the stuff I have to learn! But I figure that now that our family is growing so much and is moving all over the country that I could keep in better contact with them through blogging! We'll see how much I keep this up... haha.
