correction, hes 10.

nathaniel...

id like to take a moment to brag on my crazy good cousin. he happens to be 11 years old, and i believe he started playing at the middle school before he was in middleschool. this is becasue he plays for homestead, and did last year. and last year he was in 4th grade.

anyway, there was a free throw shooting contest with a few area schools, i assume middle school aged. he won. then, he went to regionals. he won, making 23 of 25 free throws. now, hes going to state. guess whos gonna win? nathaniel. cause thats how he rolls.

also as i recall hearing from cam (his dad and coach) in a recent game he scored 22 of his teams 27 points. the kid can shoot the three ball better than me. and i play high school. hes going places. and now i can prove i knew him.... JK!!!! me and him are tight, he'll give me courtside seats to all his pro games, and have me on the bench at college ones :)

the dance

so we had a church dance on wednesday night. it was bi stake, with ours and the cumberland in attendance. once there, we had boring mixers ect in between the fun real dances, whether they were fast or slow.

i had a little wager going with savannah..... 2 points for every guy you ask to dance, 1 for every one that asks you. i danced every single dance, asking a guy to dance everytime it looked like no one was coming my way. since i danced over twice as much as sav, i obviously won the 5 dollar bet. fun fun fun! who new how enjoyable it would be if i asked guys and got more involved?

best dance of the night....someone made the mistake of asking hannah for the last dance. so i ended up with ty. a little bit into it, i noticed a girl who was a little different who i wasnt sure had danced at all that night hanging out alone in the corner. so, naturally i had ty go ask her. then, i found a similar guy and danced with him. PRICELESS!!!!

anyway, afterwards we went to menchies and ate and hung out, then got back around 11:30.

ugh...

so instead of going to a mountain cabin with my family, i decided to go to the UT bowl game against Virginia Tech. i went with my grandparents, uncle cam, and cousins nathaniel and olivia. we had tons of fun, eating linner at hardrock and hanging out in our 61st floor room of the Weston, our fancy hotel. ask me for details, we discovered some funny stuff. so we went to the game and we lost and everyone around us was drunk, but it was fun anyway. we hung around after and nathaniel and i scaverenged for souveniers. we got some eric berry posters, pom poms, and other little nick nacks as well as between 25-30 chickfila cows. not only did they parachute down during the game, there was one in each cupholder. then, back at out hotel, i got sick around 1 and spent the night barfing up hot fries. fun. we think it was the mini pizza i had at the game.

about the hotel....... at the cafe, the continental breakfast was 21 bucks! geez! it had 78 stories! they had mini individually wrapped mints everywhere. and, these are like bead sized mints. it had terraces. that you could go in. instead of plastic thingies of jelly jam and honey, they had little glass bottles all sealed up, one use sized. i brought a bunch home :)
