7. I absolutely LOVE being outside! Can I please move my classroom outside?
8. I plan to soon buy myself a longboard and mountain bike.

26. I like to whistle my own tunes.
The big 25. Just a quick recap on my birthday celebration that was forever ago....February 1st. It was pretty much a 4-day celebration. My birthday was on a Sunday so I got to celebrate on Friday at school. Lisi made a big sign outside of my classroom and brought balloons. A few classes sang to me. I got to celebrate on Saturday going out to dinner with the family at Goodwood. Artisto's birthday was on Jan. 30 and Hunter's on February 6 so we got to celebrate 3 birthdays in one. We then had a cake afterwards for the three of us. Sunday we did dinner together. And Monday I went to dinner at Carraba's with my old roommates Allison, Dixie and Amy. What a party!!
The tournament was double elimination. We played our biggest rival right off, Paradigm (the bracket was totally messed up). During the season they beat us twice and we beat them twice. This was the most exciting game that I'll probably ever get to coach. It went into DOUBLE overtime and.... we barely lost 26 -24. The crowd was going wild too.
So we fell into the losers bracket and easily won the next two games, Provo Canyon School 30 - 11 and Merit 52 - 29. It was nice because as a coach I was able to play my 2nd and 3rd stringers tons and give them more playing time. It was a brutal tournament schedule though, because the 3 games I just told you about were played straight in a row. My girls didn't even get a 10 minute break! Man....
The next day, Saturday, we had an 8 am game against Paradigm.....again! This was also a really good game. It went back and forth the whole time, but we just couldn't do it. We lost to them again 43 - 40. I'll tell you what, we are two really evenly matched teams! I love playing them for that reason. Basically either of us could have won both of those games (the first one & this one), but we just weren't lucky I guess.
