Summer is Officially Over :(

Today marked the official end of my summer. High school soccer tryouts started...we have double days this whole week and our first set of games are next week. I start meetings for school next week and get the kids the Monday after. I am sad, but starting to get motivated to start school again. I'll be teaching three sections of English 10 and three sections of English 11. I will be co-teaching three of those six classes again with the co-teacher I've been working with for the last three years...I LOVE her! She's just awesome! My fall will be crazy. Between teaching and coaching at the high school, I'll be coaching my U11 club team....so soccer 6 days a week! I am also playing on four teams right now...not that I am a real participant with my other time commitments, but I get there when I can!

Breaking Dawn, Tournament Champions, Bridal Showers....AAHH!!!!


On Friday night, I went to a "Breaking Dawn" party. It was held at a Baptist church in Salt Lake City that is supposedly haunted. We did go ghost hunting...saw no ghosts, but heard some good stories!!!! Then a few of us went to the Barnes and Noble in Sugarhouse (near SLC) and waiting in line to buy our books. The doors opened at midnight and we only waited 45 minutes. It was actually kinda fun...I've never done anything like that before! I have only read the first 50 pages...and I have no idea when I'll have time to read more!!!




My little U11 team won the Park City Extreme Cup this weekend! We went 4-0 in th tournament only giving up one goal in four games!!! I was so excited. After we got our medals, the girls all poured their ice cold water from their water bottles on me...it felt good...until I had to sit in a car for an hour on the way home in soaking wet clothes!!! :) I was really proud of them and excited to see the improvement they continue to make!







HELP! I have to plan and organize a few bridal shower games...does anyone have any good ones?!?!?!
