Just Lately

So life's been pretty crazy lately and I haven't been able to blog. I've got a few minutes to spare before I need to crack down on the homework but I thought I'd just briefly tell what has been going on the past few weeks.

My sister got the chance to help with BYU's homecoming week and put on the Mr. BYU pageant. She put in a lot of hard work and it really payed off. Emily and I got to go down to Provo to watch. It was hysterical, especially the talent portion. The guy who won did impressions of different characters like Captain Jack Sparrow, Timon and Pumba, Kronk and Esma and lots more. They were spot on! It was so impressive!!

We had UEA a few weeks ago and headed down to Fish Lake with Lisa. It was absolutely gorgeous there and we did some pretty fun stuff. We stopped at a petting zoo on the drive down, canoed in the lake, and chopped wood (or tried to) in preparation for winter. We ate a lot of yummy food and took a nice nap :) It was really relaxing and good break from everything.





There was the Halloween Dance and school which was tons of fun. We had a volleyball game that same day so we decided the varsity team would all go together. I went with my friend Dan Prawitt. He was a great date and had me laughing all night. We dressed up as nerds, and I got to say, we looked good!! Pictures of that to come.

Good news, my volleyball team is doing really well and we are heading into state next week with only 1 region game left. Bad news, I hurt my back and have been slowly recovering. I go to physical therapy 3 times a week and luckily I only had to sit out one game. It was the hardest game ever to just sit there! I get to play now but its just not the same. I've lost a lot of power and range of motion because of this injury. Its hard to deal with and most games I get so frustrated that my body doesn't cooperate I want to cry (and sometimes do). I know this is just something I have to go through and my dad keeps reminding me that everything happens for a reason. So I just keep doing all I can and pushing through. Hopefully I will be healed and 100% by state...fingers crossed!!!

Our football team at school took the region title and we have our first playoff game on saturday! I love football season and going to all the games. It a huge part of the high school experience and I'm so proud of our boys and how well they are doing. Good luck Saturday!!

I started my application for BYU, so weird! I can't believe I'm old enough for this. I get excited and nervous every time I think about what's coming up in life and the changes that will be happening.

That's about all...life is good and busy :)
