We won!

So I just got done playing my region basketball game. We played the Polynesian ward who is notorious for being really rough and not so nice. Last year they totally beat us up. And they always bring the WHOLE family with them to cheer them on. So this year, as we walk in the gym and see who we were playing, we were a little on edge. We totally wanted it though and our little team pulled through! We were so excited! We not only won, we stomped on them! And they had plenty of chances to come back. We were fouling them like crazy cause we weren't going to let them walk all over us again but they weren't hitting any of their free throws. So anyway, it was the best game I've played in a long time. Needless to say, I haven't been to the gym all week long cause I've been so extremely busy (which is a whole other post). I wasn't winded at all. I could have gone all night long! Well, I am excited to go tomorrow though. I need that rush of endorphins again!

The new me!

So I finally got the ok from Brandon to chop the hair again! I absolutely love my short hair! It is so much easier to do in the morning and it looks a lot better than the same old ponytail everyday. I first got my hair cut a little above my chin and it was cute and all but not as extreme as I really wanted so I put it on my facebook and asked everyone what they thought. Most people said to leave it and definitely not to go shorter but I finally decided that if I love it, then I'm going to have more confidence and love myself more. So anyway, I DO feel more outgoing and sure of myself and I actually spend a little more time on myself. So here's the new me!

Memories

Well I was just reading my cousin's blog and she was writing about a time when  she was a kid. Her cousin cut off the fingers of her barbie. It just totally reminded me of a childhood memory I have about a time when I was destructive. Since this hardly happened when I was a kid, I thought I would share........

I was probably around 4 or 5 cause I did it when my sister was in school. It was right after Christmas....

My 2 older sisters and I got the same things for Christmas a lot. Probably to avoid fighting over each other's presents. Well this particular year, we all got one of those talking Teddy Ruksbeens. (Really don't know how to spell that.) Mine happened to be broken. You can imagine the devastation when I had to watch my sisters playing happily with theirs and I couldn't. My parents promised me they would take it back to Santa's workshop to exchange it for one that worked. But it just so happened that Santa gave away all the Teddy Ruksbeens and there wasn't one to replace it so they came home with a talking Big Bird. Well of course that wasn't good enough. I decided that if I couldn't have one, then Stephanie shouldn't get to play with one either. The next time she was at school, I took action. My little brother, Spencer, and I snuck into her bedroom and there it was.... sitting on her bed. See Spencer and I had this thing where we would dare each other to do things. You know, the double doggy dares? Well, Spencer never disappointed! I dared him to grab the bear by the legs and bash his little head on the floor till he couldn't talk anymore. (I might have gotten a few whacks in myself). Then we placed it neatly back on the bed. (Under the covers of course.)

Boy I'll tell ya, was Stephanie ever surprised when she got home! Poor girl! Oh the things you do when your a kid :)
