My Best Friend!

I told myself I was going to be better about blogging more often so here goes nothing. Tonight I am one proud big sis. Today the MC softball girls took on Murray High School in the first round of the 4A state tournament; and my little sister got her first varsity start! The game didn't go as we would have hoped but I could not be prouder of how Per played. She started at second base which is a little different from the short stop position that she is used to. She played very solid in the field and I was even more proud of her batting. Her first at-bat she battled of a bunch of pitches to finally draw the walk. Her second at-bat she was just barely off of crushing the ball and popped it up foul. It amazes me how good she is at all the sports she tries. I'm glad she doesn't rest on that alone. I know she wouldn't have gotten this chance if she had been slacking off in practice. I know it surprises a lot of people that Perri and I can look so similar and be such polar opposites in our personalities, but despite all of differences she is my best friend and I am so proud of her today and every day.

My Mama!

The idea of trying to write a post about my Mother is the definition of overwhelming. I have the best Mom in the whole wild world, I know everyone says that but I know I really do. I could go on and on forever but I will keep it short. Everyone that has the opportunity to meet my Mom and get to know her is immediately drawn to her genuinely sweet personality and her desire to help anyone and everyone. She puts her family before herself on a regular basis and is honestly the best person I know. My Mom supports me in everything, and has shaped me into the woman that I am. She has taught me how to be strong and tough but to stay soft and loving. She is everything I ever hope to become. The best compliments I ever receive are when people tell me that I remind them of my Mom. She is my biggest fan, my support team, my best friend, my guardian, my role model, my critic when I need it, my rock, and my hero. I am so thankful that I get to be home for Mother's Day at least part of the time tomorrow, I am bummed I have to work :( I'm thankful today and every day for the amazing woman I am blessed to call Mom.

I didn't have any pictures of just me and my Mom but we love the big man too!

Pseudo-Freshmen Year... Check

Well I had my doubts about if this day would ever actually get here but it has. Yesterday at 5:30 I was done with my first year of college. That still sounds so weird to me, I bet it's weirder for my mother. I called it my Pseudo-Freshmen year because it technically wasn't my freshmen year. I had a bunch done when I graduated from High School and I've been a Sophomore since the end of last semester. Spring semester was rough, I took two classes that my adviser called "Involved courses" which I took as her fancy way of saying it was really stupid of me to take them in the same semester. I didn't have enough time to devote to both of them and I think I'm going to have to take one of both of them again later on. On the up side, I declared a major! I am hoping that those two classes do not bring down my GPA enough to get me kicked out of my major. It's hard for me to stress too much about school right now because it is officially summer break!!! I am so stinking excited!! My summer is going to consist of a whole lot of driving but I am still very pumped for it. Since I have fallen in love with my house down here in Salt Lake and I don't want to loose it for next year I am staying down here.... sort of. I also didn't want to quit my job down here so I worked out a plan. I changed my schedule at the Cowboy Grub to Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights. When I get done with work on Friday night I will drive back to Logan where I am going to stay until the next Wednesday when I'll come back to Salt Lake to start all over again! While I am in Logan I am planning on working a couple of days a week at the Logan Golf and Country Club, where I worked the past few summers. Basically the plan for this summer is to work, work, work, work, save up money and play every second that I'm not working. Basically there is no time for sleep and  I wouldn't have it any other way! Bring on the sunshine and summer time!!
