Cheerleading: Day 1

Today my cheer team started practice. Of the 10 girls on our squad, 5 showed up. Since the camps are mandatory, if this number shows up again, those girls will be KICKED. Our squad is good, for the most part, but can barely do one stunt group (so far). They really limited numbers for the Maroon Squad this season! Currently we're short on flyers, but everyone has caught onto the cheers really quickly. We learned about 7 today, and we're learning some more tomorrow (yep...we're learning everything in two days!). They should probably make our squad bigger. 10 girls?? We're short, but already 2 girls have quit our team! And tryouts are over, so it's all said and done :)

We're getting our uniforms and shorts and shoes in a couple of days! I have been wearing my past cheer shorts, and their getting a little older, so I need new ones! And my shoes right now are not helping!
I love cheer! It's actually really fun- I LUV IT!!!! It's the bomb :) :) :)

Jane Austen Quiz

I did it! I finally squeezed in some time to take an online computer quiz. I took a Twilight one first (too lazy to post results, but I got Alice..so exciting!). So after that, I got thinking. Sense and Sensibility is like my favorite movie ever -- we have it on DVR and although it's a time sucker, it's so great to watch.

Here are what my results read :)

"you are Ms. Marianne Dashwood. You are romantic, creative, and enjoy spending your time out in the world, amongst the political stress and the creative virtue. You spend your free hours writing poems, reading novels, and studying the art of music and literature. You have a spontaneous mind, and cannot keep your mouth closed when something disturbs you. You are very romantic, but can easily be mislead by men. You are headed for a very bright future."

My results were 100% Marianne. I must say, I was really thrilled! She's by far my favorite Austen character, so when I took the quiz I was crossing my fingers :) lucky me!!

Soccer: U13 Champions

My soccer season just ended :( It's been great fun and I had a wonderful experience playing with such AMAZING girls! Better yet, my coach was and still an incredible coach and player and she pushed us and made us really good this season. I'm proud of my team and all the girls and I will miss you guys all this next season for whoever isn't doing Utah FC! I made the team and will be playing up U14. Here's some action shots of my last game. It was close and I scored a goal, and it was sad to say good-bye to the team..for the day :(

Love you all!
