VICTORY!



Sportin the team spirit, little team unity tat for the big game
Alright we had our first real game today, vs. Utah State, which is kind of a rivalry for us.  And in my case I know like half the girls on Utah State so it's a big deal.  But  . . . we won!! Ah it was so great! If you really wanna hear the detail then go here.  If not, here's the watered down version:
We go down 1-0 in the first 5 minutes, then like 10 minutes into the second half we score so it's 1-1. The score stays that way through the rest of regulation . . . and the first overtime. But with 16 seconds to go in the second and final overtime (we wouldn't have gone into pk's, it would have been a tie) WE SCORED!!!  I wish I could really describe how great of a feeling that is.  Wow I was lovin life (still am lets be honest).  Haha funny that David Archuleta song "In
 This Moment" just came on as I'm writing this, don't you love it when music is cre
epin your life? Ya that song fits today.  It was just such an awesome 
experience.  Great way to start out my college career I would say.  Putting on that jersey for the first time and having the announcer call your name, that's an experience not gonna lie.  I feel extremely blessed to be in the situation I am.  I really love it here and more and more every day I just know that this really is where I'm supposed to be here.  Gotta love it. 

Another great thing about today was that my family was here!! Eric, Kendra, Parker & Kinzley, then Val, Sharesa and Sarah came up.  To top it all off Adam Ruben came too! So glad to see everyone and playing with the kids after the game was so so fun and good for me.  Had to stop for a little bit for our team autograph session for like 50 little kids, gotta love the small town :)  But really life is so good!  I better buckle up though, school starts Monday. aka no more just eating sleeping and playing soccer - reality is about to slap me in the face.

These are some pictures from our annual team scavenger hunt.  Basically we're broken into teams and have an hour to get the most points, - wreaking havoc on all of Pocatello.

Let's just say our faces here reflect the quality of driving going on that day :S

Man that game sounds really cool! I wish I could've been there to bask in the full awesomeness of it! ;) Thanks for letting me come. I am in love with your family. We had a little family party today and it's so funny how much they are alike!
