Brynna the Teen

Well, Brynna is an official teenager now! It's kind of scary thinking that we are all teenagers now. Kae Lee is learning how to drive now and Brynna will be there in just a few years. It's weird how fast we seem to grow up.
Brynna's birthday was a lot of fun and she said she really enjoyed it. It was fun to have our gradparents down to celebrate with us. My grandma keeps reminding me that she has a car waiting for me once I get my Eagle Scout. I'm really close, but I'm also really close to my birthday. Hopefully, I can get eveything done in time.

Sweet Success

Woo hoo!!! Our ProStart competition was today and it went amazingly well. Despite one of our team members being sick and not coming, our biggest setback was forgetting tongs. We were able to finish everything in tIme and the plates looked great...even though we only had three people. The critic chefs were very impressed with both our menu and our food...they seemed especially drawn towards the Miso Soup.
The competiion was way fun...but i'm glad it's over. Hopefully we placed but even if we didn't, it was still fun.

Snow and the winter blues

Today has been snow...and snow...and snow...and even some more snow. In fact, I don't think that it has stopped snowing since I woke up this morning. Granted, it hasn't all been HEAVY snow...just some of it has. Then, on top of all the snow, I seem to have caught some kind of icky cold...which just makes the cold and wet outside even more miserable. My head has felt like it's going to explode all day today.
To add to the misery, I had to pay $30 today to apply to weber state university8 so that I could register for my CE English 1010 class. Lame! I thought that I had already been admitted since I has received a letter of admittence. Apparently that doesn't mean I was admitted...for whatever reason. So there was 30 bucks out the window to be admitted to a college I was "already" admitted to. Oh well, what else can I do?
On the bright side, I was admitted to BYU the other day. I'm so excited! I hope to be there this fall entering the pre-animation program there. I'm way excited and hopefully everything works out so that I can be a true blue cougar later this year.

Come On!

Well, we lost our churchball game AGAIN today. Ugh! I don't see why we keep losing! Today we were so close, but we still couldn't pull it off. I don't understand why we can't seem to close out games. We have been drastically outscored in the second half of every game this season. I'm not quite sure why we need to do to change that. It's just frustrating when we dominate in the first half and then fall apart in the second half. Whatever, it's just a game, right?

Just absolutely nuts!!

So work tonight was INSANE!!! We sold like a bajillion pizzas. We have a heart shaped pepperoni pizza on sale for $6.99 and people were buying it like crazy. It was most definately the busiest night we've had in a long time. And tommorrow is supposed to be even worse :( oh well, that is the life of a pizza maker I suppose.

Closing in

So we're closing in on our ProStart competition. It's next Wednesday and so it's pretty much crunch time for us. Today in class we practiced in a mock competition with the other group that is going from our school. It went really well and I think it really helped us prepare for the competition because we had people staring at us and asking us questions the whole time. It was fairly intense.
Overall I think we are ready for the competition, but there is still a lot that we can improve on. Oh well, ready of not competition is headed our way.

Kae Lee is what?!

So I guess Kae Lee is driving now. It's rather frightening. I can't believe that she will be 16 in just a few months...that's crazy!!! All I know is that as soon as she gets her license, I'm going to avoid the roads at all costs. Actually, my parents claim that she is a good driver. I just haven't has the chance to see for myself yet. She hasn't run a stopsign yet, which is more than I could say at her age. Who knows, maybe she'll turn out to be a better driver than any of us think.

Sweet iPod

So I haven't written in a while and that's mostly because I've been distracted with my new iPod touch. It's awesome!!! In fact, i'm making this post from it right now! It's way sweet. We forfeited our basketball game on Saturday because I had to work so only 4 players showed up. It was a bummer but oh well...we'll get them next time. Oh ya, it's been snowing all day today which is kind of lame because all the snow was almost gone and I need the snow to me gone to do my Eagle Project. It also managed to turn the high school parking lot into a small lake. Which we then had to wade across to leave school. It was ridiculous. But, oh well.

Basketball

This week is sophomore appreciation week at school, which is pretty much amazing for the seniors and juniors. It basically means, the sophomores have to come to school at 7:30 and take the UBSCT tests while the seniors and juniors get late start and don't have to come until 9:30. Thanks sophomores.
This morning I made good use of my time and went to the community center and played basketball for and hour and a half. There wasn't anyone else there (well, except for an early morning Pilates class, and I wasn't about to invite them for a game of pickup basketball) so I just shot around by myself. It was good practice, and I feel a little more confident in my shot. Hopefully it will show in this Saturday's church ball game.
