Swim/ Ballroom team

This year I decided to start swimming again after a very long time of not swimming. I am excited and really enjoy it. I am swimming JV because ballroom team is when Varsity has practice and I don't have to join OTAC so that is always a great thing. The one thing I don't like is most of JV has no experience so I get really bored doing all the tecnequ and being one of the fastest swimmers on JV I have no one to really push me. The other thing I hate is we don't pick what events we swim so having swim experience and being good at butter fly and breast stroke it looks like I am going to be swimming a lot of IM's, and butter fly. If I am lucky I might get to swim breast stroke. I will probably get put on the medly relay also. What a blast. O well it will be good for me and a nice challenge. I just pray I don't have to swim back stroke. I am also on the ballroom team and loving it. I enjoy dancing a lot and spend a lot of time doing it. I am in two dances so far for the team and we are getting ready to start going to tournaments. For tour this year we are going to Cal. and get to dance at sea world. I am so Excited. I will put pictures on once I get some.

Went and stayed a week in colorado to see my mom and stayed in a time share up at wenter park. I love this ski resort and had a lot of fun. there was so much to do. My sisters kinda drove me crazy but I guess that is normal for little brothers and sisters to do to each other. I want to buy a cabin up there. Most beautiful place ever.

Me at the lookout point.

Befor school started Heidi, Oma, Michael, and I went down to Ceder City for the Shakespearean Festival. I decided since we were already down there we should take a tour of Southern Utah University because thats where I had been planning on going to school after my mission. I know SUU is wear I am supposed to go to school. I fit in very well down there being so active and into the outdoors. The campus is amazing and I love the P.E. building. I can't wait to go there. I just applied a few weeks ago so just waiting for the envolope to see if I get in or not. The Shakespearean Festival is amazing and so much fun. Our show happened to be in the replica of the old shakespear theater. We went to The Comedy of Errors and all loved it. To bad we couldn't have taken Kirsten, Marshell, Samantha, Amy and Scott. Amy and Samantha would have loved it. Scott would like all the sword fighting and stuff. But they do a wounderful job. We also went up to Brian Head and had fun up there but it was very cold.

Oma, Coach and I befor my first match.

All of us getting ready for sparring.

Taking home the bronze and gold!

Befor going to homecoming I had a taekwondo tournament. I was signed up to go as a white belt because I had just got my yellow but our sparring coach changed it. I didn't know the yellow belt form and only had two weeks to learn it befor this tournament. I got my wisdom teeth out a week befor so I really had no time to train for forms. I was kinda scared because it was also my first tournament but I ended up doing really well. I took bronze in forms and was really supprized to medel with the little training. Sparring I felt very confident and have always liked sparring and had a goal to take the gold. My first match was really easy he didn't score very much and I was afaid I was going to knock him out. My 2nd fight was to see who took gold and silver because there was only 4 of us in my division. It was kinda nice to not have that many fights. I was filling really good but about half way though I was starting to get an atitude I shouldn't have had. I really wanted to knock him out because he keept kicking really low and hitting me in the groined so I was mad. I kinda got ripped off because he was getting those scored when it wasn't a scoring area but I happened to win by one point so I was very happy but very tired for homecoming.

Homecoming 09

Aurie and I.


Shinano, Audrey, Aurie, and I.


Homecomeing 2009 my senior year. I can't believe this is my last homecoming and that high school is almost over. For homecoming we didn't do a day date because I had a taekwondo tournament that morning. Heidi went and picked up her flower after the tournament as I came home and slept and got ready. We decided to have dinner here at the house and Heidi was a little slow getting that ready but it was really good. The dance was at UVU in the ballroom and was so much fun. I am sad that this is my last year but ready to move on to college. I guess they still have dances so I think I will be ok.
