Senior Day Loot


How cute is the bear with that stan state soccer tshirt and those little cleats! I can't even talk about the framed jersey... I'm speechless.

Bomb Squad!


Me Bri and Jade play forward together and have awesome chemistry. I play center, Bri plays right and Jade plays left. We like to call ourselves the bomb squad. Not really sure how it started but we think its hilarious.

Senior Day!



Sunday was my soccer Senior Day! Senior Day is usually the last home game of the season, where the seniors on the team are honored for, you know, all of their hard work... dedication etc... =) haha but anyways, there are seven seniors on our team which is a huge senior class. Usually by the end of four years there are only a few seniors left on the team. I was kind of dreading my own senior day because I thought it would be extremely depressing. My soccer career is coming to an end and let's just say I'm not counting down the days. Let's just say that my senior day was better than I could have ever possibly imagined. It started out with team breakfast where our coach let the seniors order whatever they wanted instead of the usual breakfast we have to get at Perko's. Delicious! Then we went to the locker room where the girls had made us each our own posters and they had all written us little notes. There were balloons everywhere and our lockers were decorated. They gave us each these pink glittery crowns which we looked amazing in. We went to the field where before the game started each senior walked out to the middle of the field with their family as the announcer read a little paragraph that our coach had written about each of us. I almost cried at that point but I was able to hold it together. Gabe said some beyond nice things about me as a player. Before we walked out, he gave us each our black jerseys that he had framed for us. This was too much, I may have shed a tear or two. The girls gave us each gifts to open as we stood out on the field. They were build a bears with CSU stanislaus soccer t shirts and little cleats. They are adorable! Lance brought me beautiful flowers and it was cute because i could tell he was a little embarrassed giving them to me in front of my whole team. The game started and we were all surprised because Gabe wasn't yelling at us from the sideline. He told me later that he couldnt coach because he was crying. it was kind of sweet. The cherry on the top of my senior day cake was the goal I scored. I have never been more excited about any goal I have ever scored. It was one of the coolest goals and it being on senior day made it that much better. We won the game 3-2. I will always remember that day as one of my most memorable soccer experiences.

Rocky and Spazzy McGee


I have 2 new kittens who I have named Rocky and Spazzy McGee. My mom's friend was giving them away and Lance and I sort of have a mice/rat problem at our house in the wilderness. It seemed like a good fit. And they are really cute to say the least! Rocky is really quiet and calm. She likes to watch her brother be a nut. Spazzy Mcgee is a spaz. He likes to jump around everywhere all the time. His other favorite activity is picking on his sister. She only takes so much though before she tackles him and has him pinned. Its funny because she is smaller. They crack me up! Rocky is the gray one and Spazzy is the white one.
