I'm running behind Rachel... to help her, somehow....


You can see my face just behind Sheredith's (the quaterback's). We're blocking for her so she has time to thow.


Rachel ran the ball for us a lot.


Ready...


...set...


HIKE!


I'm trying to run down a girl on the other team and pull her flags. (Notice the yellow flag on the field. It becomes important later.)


She was really fast.


I stopped running here because I thought I had her flag...


... but I'd just pulled a towel she had tucked into her pants. :(


The girl went on to score, but there was a flag on the play (see earlier photo) and it was called back.


Jaime sort of tackled the girl once. It was only a 5 yard penalty.


Me chasing down another girl.


Our offensive line :)

We ended up loosing this game, but we played this team again in the semi-finals where we destroyed them! It was awesome :)

I'm in the blue shirt and red shorts







Playing sports with my glasses MIGHT just be why they broke....

My life after graduation....

I found this comic (xkcd.com) and it pretty much sums up my future
plans...

... I'm the blonde girl.

Skiing with dad and Brian

A bit ago, my dad and brother became concerned with my welfare at college. So they decided to make a sacrifice and drive down to see me. But they also just happened to bring down some ski gear, and so they just couldn't pass up the opportunity to ski while they were down here.

That's their story anyway. I think they came down to ski; the fact they got to see me was an added bonus :)

Here we are, at the top of a lift somewhere at Alta ski resort. It was really cold to have my face out, but other than that I was warm.

Here am I, awesome me, showing how excited I am to be skiing with my even more amazing little brother, Brian.
And this movie just goes to show you how awesome of a skiier I am. If you look very carefully, you can see that I get a bit of air! I went off a jump! I'm pretty much amazing.

This movie is of my stud of a brother going off a jump. He shows me how you really do it. (Though according to him, that was a wimpy jump, but I call it amazing. Especially when you realize that the first part of the jump he is trying to keep his balance, and somehow manages to do it! I don't know how he landed that, but he did because he is amazing!)

First day of teaching

I mostly successfully taught my first day at SFHS. It was great! :) The first class was a little slow in that the students still seemed awfully quiet, so the lesson didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would. The second class was much more talkative, and we almost ran out of time! But all in all, a good day.

Academy Awards

This is the cast of our award-winning show: Provo Hills. We took Best Picture, Best Character (Jon Doxey), and People's choice!

The ward provided food--Costa Vida catered, so we all got delicious free burritos or salads. It was quite yummy. And I looked absolutely amazing!

Intramural Championship

During this season, we developed a rival team: the tie-dyes. I don't know if they were aware that they were our rivals, but they were. We played them three times. The first time, during the regular season, we were losing at the beginning. But their team was so annoying, we couldn't bear to loose. So we stepped it up and beat them! It felt good.

Then the tournament came. Both of us were coming off two victories. The game started, and we just couldn't do anything on offense. We couldn't catch; we couldn't run. Luckily, for the most part, they couldn't do anything either because our defense is rock solid. However, they have this one really fast girl. She would try to run it, but we could usually stop her. But one time, our middle defense person missed her flags. Then I ran into one of their players and missed her entirely. Then our safety fell down. Despite the fact that I chased her down the entire field, she still scored. It was their only score of the game; they won.

So we went to the losers' bracket of the tournament. And we won our next two games. The tie-dyes lost their next game, so we were to play them again. We planned our attack. We knew their defensive weaknesses, and we planned to take full advantage of them. We knew who their fast girls were, and we shut them down. Every pass they threw got intercepted, and we ended up winning dramatically: 30-7. It felt so good. That win was good enough for us to take 2nd place.

Provo Hills

This week our FHE group made movies for the Oscar Night we're having this Saturday. We did a spoof of a TV series called "Lagoona Beach," but called our show "Provo Hills: The Real Utah County"
