GO BYU!!!!!

You know, sometimes people tell me I can be slightly cynical with a hint of pessimism, and I'm like whatever, just call me Ray of Sunshine, so take this post in context.

Went to the BYU gymnastics meet and the hockey game. The gymnastics meet was fun, those girls are insane!!! It made me want to watch stick-it and do the tumbling I used to do for diving. I love back flips! Of course, if I tried one in my advanced age I could very well die. That, however is beside the point. It was a meet between San Jose State, BYU, Utah State, and the Boise State Broncos. Somehow, we managed to come in second, which is interesting considering that we have a very young team and were competing against other really good teams. Plus, we were in the front row, right in between the beam and the floor, with the vault behind it. We saw some amazing routines and some amazing wipe-outs (Go Broncos). It was pretty awesome, not going to lie.
GO BYU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and random Bronco girl)

Yesterday, the day after the gymnastics meet, for those of you who are keeping a calendar, Tim, Brad and I went to a hockey game. Not only that, but there was free ice skating before the game if you were a student. I'm a student. Therefore, I went ice skating before the game. I was in the middle, skill wise. I almost killed poor Bradley with a viscious check into the boards (not really, but he did almost die), I almost killed myself on the dullest blades ever with ice that hadn't been zambonied since the dawn of time and felt like the rythym section of a motor cross race, and Timmy skated circles around us, forward, backward, and turning in a circle. Seriously, he's amazing. I'm trying to get him to teach me, but he was content to strut his stuff last night and I enjoyed watching all the cocky kids following him and trying to do what he did, then almost dying at mach 5 into the boards. It was a blast, although I felt like my feet were falling off by the time I got them out of the world's dullest, most uncomfortable, FREE ice skates.
Afterward was the hockey game, which we were creamed in and I may have gotten slightly violent with the taunting, but it was all in good fun. Except I think I scared Brad and Tim. Except they left for an entire period to get dinner, which I thought would be from a drive through. Turns out Brad ate an entire pizza in the car. But Tim bought me a licorice rope (my favorite!!!!) to make up for it. Other than that, our captain was in the penalty box seven times, I believe the ref's son was number 17 on the other team, and we lost horrifically. All in all, a perfect night. Oh, and my ward played Human Foozball/Soccer, but my lawyer says I can't talk about it until they find out if the other kid is going to live :)

Timmy and I. Brad managed to skate over and stop to take this picture and I believe Timmy is actually holding me up. Notice his uber-aura of confidence on the ice.Timmy is actually skating backwards to take this shot. Brad and I were skating forward but I believe we were in the process of almost dying when this picture was taken.Timmy doing something amazing... backwards. He's my hero.

The Three Musketeers. Don't know what I would do without 'em. GO BYU!!! And Brad, I'm really sorry about almost killing you.
