Conference Champs!

I may not have any kids of my own, but I have 26 girls that are pretty much like my children, so I will brag about them :)

For the second year in a row, my girls (BYUH Womens Soccer) became Conference Champs. We had an amazing run to end the second half of our season with a record of 10-2. It has been such a joy coaching these talented girls. They worked hard all season long, and it paid off.

Winning Conference, we got an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament! This is the first year that BYUH Women's Soccer made an appearance in the tourney. We were bottom seed in our bracket and played UC San Diego. Being the "underdog" team full of freshman and sophomore's we played an incredible game. One of the funnest games I have ever watched/coached. We had players playing bigger than their bodies, and having the game of their lives! Regulation time ended wiith a scoreless game 0-0. First over time ended scoreless as well, second overtime with only a few minutes left, UCSD scored a goal, knocking us out of the tournament. With thoughts of what we could have done better, I couldn't be upset with how my girls played because they gave everything they had, and thats all I could ever ask for as a coach. I am so proud to coach a team full of girls who inspire me to be better and encourage me to be my best.

Pillow Fight!

How college coaches prepare the night before a big game:

And ready for the game!

Wow!!!

Did that really just happen???

So, tonight, I was hanging out at my neighbor's house just chillin eating quesadillas, watching Michael Jackson musice videos when all of a sudden a friend called and said someone was ticketing my truck. **side note: I live right across the street from a grocery store and park there during the day, but move my car at night because they tow cars that stay there over night**

So, I run outside, check on my car and luckily, no ticket, but a warning for no overnight parking. It was 11:00pm. For it to be considered over night parking, wouldn't my truck need to be parked there overnight? Just a thought.

Ok, so I move my truck, ask a cop why it had been stickered, he says he didn't do it but to read the signs. I have already read these signs, thats why I don't park there overnight. Duh. Ok, so I oblige and move my truck in front of my house, go back across the street, read the sign, and walk home.

All of a sudden another cop pulls up next to me, flashes his lights, turns on his sirens, and gets out of his car. He asks to see my license, which I dont have because I ran outside so quickly to move my truck that I forgot to grab it. I tell him I dont have it and ask if I did something wrong. He won't say. He asks for my name, height, weight, hair color, eye color, ssn, address, phone number, work number, favorite ice cream..... I again ask what I did wrong, he said JAY WALKING!! And, since he saw me drive and I didnt have my license he could arrest me. I felt like I was being punked! oh but he was nice and didnt arrest me, instead gave me a ticket for Jay Walking!?!? Ha, so nice. Best part, the first cop came over to give back up to his buddy, and jaywalked to us! haha. wow!

So about 30 minutes later after moving my truck which I thought might have been ticketed, I walk back home, with a ticket in my hand......... for jay walking. $70 fine.

where's the aloha spirit???

camping

there are few things in life that i would say i truly excel at. one of which is sleeping. i believe that i am an expert sleeper and could probably go professional. i can sleep anytime, anywhere, in any position and have a peaceful sleep and never wake up. however, last night was surely an exception to my so called skill. i was itchy all night. me and my sister went camping a few nights ago and i got bit by a fly or a horsefly or a fairy or a sabertooth pixie, i don't know what it was but it bit me. it didn't itch or hurt at the time, but wow, last night i was scratching my feet like a wild woman. i am sure i must have looked like i was going crazy. it kept me up all night. i had to go find me some anti itch cream to rub on my feet. all day today i carried not one, but 3 types of anti-itch cream in my purse because nothing seemed to help. i just kept applying:) it looks as though i have huge welts all over my feet and toes. when i put socks on, it just enhances the itchiness. i am at a loss of what to do.... HELP!!
