UVU Volleyball Has a BLOG!

OK friends... I know I'm already not the best blogger, so why I'd take on another one of these suckers, I'll never know! BUT... with our team going on our foreign trip next week I figured I should set one up so everyone can see the havoc we're creating on the otherside of the world! I've volunteered the girls to help me out with a lot of the postings too, so it'll be fun to read their insights and just get a deeper glimpse into UVU volleyball. Lots has changed since my day as a player, and I'm so grateful that I still get to be a part of it.

R2D2... what?!

so i guess a great thing about blogging is that i can record all of my random thoughts and findings... this will come in handy considering i love to "people watch"!

i saw someone at school today with this backpack... and when i say school, i'm not at an elementary school, this is a university! it was completely out of the ordinary and just brought an instant grin to my face!

thank you random girl for making me chuckle today :)

simple pleasures of the day...

i love the little things in life, and i think that a lot of times i take them for granted. here's a list of few things from the past couple days that just make me smile!

- getting a disney song stuck in my head :)
- hanging out with my crazy girls during training
- having so many institute classes to choose from... bom 2 this semester ... ps. there's a whole other list for the "tender mercies" of the gospel
- cooking something new
- having the energy to run an extra mile or 2
- watching the office... it's on like every channel now
- my blessed roomie watching one of my cake shows with me
- being able to call my precious mother anytime... she puts up with a lot of randomness from me, and i'm very grateful for her!
- texting... instant communication!
-not having to scrape my window the past few mornings, that just is the perfect way to start a new day... and how about just having a car to drive, that's a great blessing!
- skype... i get to video chat with my favorite people for free!
- little jakey gets home from guatemala in 4 weeks!
- sleeping in til 7 am on a weekday! love it :)
- the majestic snow-covered mountains of utah
- coming home after a long day to clean kitchen!
- finding a parking spot when i'm totally late
... it's all about the little things, right?!
*and yes, i had "a whole new world" from aladdin stuck in my head one day, hence the picture... i heart disney!
