Sacrifice

Sports are all about sacrifice, right?

Take one for the team?

Well, last week, I took one for the team. The ward's softball team, that is.

In an attempt to get back to first base after the shortstop caught an infield pop fly, and avoid a collision between two guys who were much bigger than me (runner and the first baseman)--I dove for first.

According to Remi, my first base coach, I ended up doing a bellyflop. 

I guess I need my nephews to teach me how to correctly slide. 

In related news--we are undefeated.

Ugly Duckling

It's not often that I find a video that tells me everything I need to hear at the exact moment that I need to hear it. 

But this video is just that kind of video.

And I wanted to share it with you.

I'm a little late, but...

I knew they could do it!

And I wish I were in Spain this week!

¡Viva La Furia Roja!

Updates (or in other words, what I've been up to)

Where have I been?

Just busy!

My apologies.

School. Work. Church. Play.

But last weekend I went to my parents's house in San Diego. And did some shopping. But also:

Went to see the Padres at Petco Park (go Padres!!)

Fell in love with this girl. Lil' H. She smiles so much and made me feel so loved.

Learned the proper technique for roasting marshmallows...

And the proper way to eat s'mores...

And got a little color on my body. I have a wicked farmer's tan on my arms right now.

So, pretty successful.

What I'm looking forward to this month:

*Getting paid 3 times (yeah for 5 Thursdays!)

*2 papers due every other week

*Continuing to plow through 50 books... only 29 more to go!

*Ward activities and Stake activities

*Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum concert!

*Bridal showers for old roommates

*Further work on my tan

*Country swing dancing

*Getting ready for Puerto Rico

Yep. I'm busy. So you'll forgive me if I don't blog as often as I would like. Truth be told... I'm just exhausted writing this post.
