This year has been nothing but crazy, as always, that's what makes life fun right? Yeah. So, basketball started about the second day that I arrived in Moorhead for school. Super awesome right, not. Preseason is always the worst with the crazy intense workouts, conditioning lifting and scrimmaging, every single day. But when the season comes around its worth all those hard days. Well without two weeks left in the preseason workouts I was conditioning and my knee decided to mess itself up, so I had to have surgery. I tore my meniscus so it was only a minor surgery and i'm a little over four weeks out today.
Bad luck huh? Stress fractures last year, torn meniscus this year. I feel as if I can't get a break, and its really frustrating at times. But I just keep praying that i'm in the right place, and making the right decisions with my life, and so far I think God knows what he's doing.
I did my first full speed practice today, a tad bit exciting but also pretty nerve-wrecking. I didn't want to mess anything up, and I didn't which was good. But I still feel a bit behind which is unfortunate, hopefully I can catch myself back up and see the court a bit this year.. that'd be SUPER exciting :)
Okay, enough about basketball, it's definitely not the best part of my life. The best part of my life is my awesome friends, so i'll do my best to update you on them.
Annie is going to school and SDSU and she just decided to double major in bio pre-med and athletic training. I think she's going insane, but she's one of the most driven people I know so I don't doubt that she'll stick with both and do them well. She's also got this pretty big crush on this football boy, so maybe someday later if they happen to work out I can look back at this and giggle a bit :) We play SDSU in our first exhibition game this sunday and she'll be there, and I cannot wait. It's tough to be away from your friends, especially when they are so important. On that note, I have two pretty awesome friends that are or will soon be pretty far away.
First, Miss Ashley in Provo. I know I should be used to it by now, because I know how awesome she has it out there.. but somedays I just miss having her around. Like when I hurt my knee, or when practice stinks, and she's the person who has the best kind of advice. It's tough when you have someone so close for awhile and then they just aren't anymore. College seems to do that to you. But I know Ash is living her life in the best most wonderful way she can at BYU and I really admire everything that she does and accomplishes, I'll always be so proud to have her in my life and to call her my best friend. 
Next is my friend Abby. I met Abby last year on the basketball team in Moorhead, and since then she's pretty much been a constant in my life. Abby's the person who really knows how to make lame situations and bad days better. She's done nothing but give good advice and make me a better person since our friendships started. She graduated last year and just got a job in Williston, ND. Which is about six hours from Moorhead. So, once again, life happens. You have someone around who you have so much in common with and you love to spend time with and then things change. It's a great opportunity for her though, she got a job as a dispatcher there and will make good income for a single person. I'm so proud of the decision she made, being that far away from her friends and family is going to be tough but she's one of the strongest people I've ever met and I know that she'll make the best or every situation she's put in. I'll miss having her around, but I'll be so excited to hear about where her life journey is taking her. 
Okay so this one isn't a friend, but he's been so beyond great that I can't not mention him :) Jack, my now boyfriend, has been so great. He's so caring, and I think the most important part of a relationship especially a long distance one, are those little things you do. Things like letters in the mail, just small notes or flowers or a bag of cookies. The texts when you wake up in the morning, and the calls goodnight. All the little things in a relationship that you do to let the other person know how important they are to you. He's been so so good to me, and I hope that I keep up with him. I do my best! He makes me feel like the most important girl in the world, and that's something that I've really missed out on in my past relationships. He's so driven, so focused on what he wants in life, and so passionate about what he does. I couldn't ask for a better man in my life. I thank God for him everyday. 
Just one more thing, my "little" brother Hayden is a senior in high school this year. Which totally blows my mind by the way. But he ran cross country this year and he won both the Union County Meet, The Big Sioux Conference Meet, and the Region Meet, oh and he just ran in the state cross country meet in Sioux Falls, SD last weekend and he got 19th, and the team from Beresford got 4th! I thought this was really awesome and I was so so proud of him :) So I thought I should mention how great he was oh and p.s. he got on royalty this year too.. he's such a great boy and I can't wait to see the man he grows up to be I hope that this sums up the important parts of my life at least somewhat.. I know I probably didn't cover everything, but hey.. this is getting really long, so its probably good that i'm finishing up
