Bluegrass State of Mind
I finished this book on my way to Florida. I actually found this book by searching through free books on itunes! I read the first page or so and decided to sync it.
The story takes place in Kentucky, where the main character Mckenna ran away to after a dangerous situation in New York. After moving to Kentucky, she reintroduced herself to people she hadn't seen since she was 12 when her grandmother brought her there.
She bumped into her first kiss at a horse auction and fell in love again. She found a place to stay and the whole town accepted her besides her new loves 'ex' wife.
All of the drama comes out when all of the people and things she ran away from starts to catch up with her. People she thought she could trust she suddenly can't anymore, and she's not sure if she can trust the ones she can.
It ends sweetly but with some very close calls and very frightening stories!
I recommend the book, and it's a very good book that you can surprisingly find free on itunes!

Tonight We Are Young
Madison this weekend was amazing! We went to Madison for the girls state basketball and saw great basketball and I really learned a lot from the players and there techniques. All of us girls (our 8th grade girls basketball team, minus Grace) had our own hotel room. There was 2 double beds, a pull out couch, and a queen bed in a separate room and bathroom that Hannah Addyman and I took at the first chance. The parents stayed in another consisting of the same rooms and beds. I have to say our room was littered with clothes, food, wrappers, towels, and makeup everywhere, but we really bonded and had fun all together. We all have many stories to tell, here's a few that we'll never forget!
I rode with Hannah Addyman and lets just say we can make the best car fort ever. We slept most of the time, but the few times we were awake we laughed and joked around, while her dad sang almost every song on the radio and Kathy laughed. :)
When we arrived Friday we went to the Kol Center to watch the games, but soon realizing we probably should've done a little more with ourselves, because the boy selection was more than we were expecting (; We watched our games (and saw and talked with Ms.P!) and then walked to the capital building where we planked like crazy, took pictures, ran around, and even witnessed a wedding!
Friday night came and we went back and we watched a game (Milwaukee King v.s. Middleton) and Milwaukee was down a few points by half time. I made a bet with Hannah Alme that Milwaukee was going to win. The rest of the game I was cheering so loud I lost my voice. The game was sooo close. It came down to the last 30 seconds to determine the winner. The team motivated me, especially the 5ft 2in Freshman point guard starter. (Shakeela#11)
Saturday we watched some basketball but mostly walked around. We went to a piercing and tattoo place and Hannah Addyman got her ears pierces but a few minutes into waiting we realized that the guy getting a tattoo was Rob Wilson, the Badger's point guard. We got pictures with him and talked a bit. Saturday night we went to the championship to watch Milwaukee and our whole team made signs for each starter and backup starter, but mostly for #11. We had 2nd row and we were cheering on the top of our lungs. They read our posters and they knew we were fans. The score went back and forth, but by the 4th quarter Milwaukee was down by a few points. By the last 3 seconds I was in tears as the score was 60-57 De Pere. Shakeela dribbled it down the court and jump stopped at the three and shot the ball, it circled around and around 3 times until it spun out. The buzzer went off and she fell to the floor. I cried more (kinda balled my eyes out a bit, even though the girls looked at me like I was crazy and laughed) and I was determined to get all of their signatures on my shirt. The trophies came out and they got there 2nd place and we all cheered and held up our signs, but the lady in front of us (who was cheering for the other team and had a mental disability) turned around and hit Megan in the chest! Even through the embarrassment and shock she cheered along with us, but walked away with a great story to tell. We ended up leaving before they came out of the locker room, but they still inspired me. I now am determined to play basketball all through high school and possibly college, even with my height of 5ft 4in. She brought me closer to the game, they brought me closer to the game.
We came back to the hotel and all we wanted was to sit in the hot tub and relax. So we all put on our swimming suits and jumped in the hot tub. The bubbles stopped and Meg was just about to push the button again when I realized something on the bottom of the pool. It kind of looked like rocks but I asked what it was. We all tried to figure it out, and Mary scooped out out with her hands. It looked like a rock, but then Julia noticed there was shreds of toilet paper in the hot tub as well. So Mary took Alyssa's water bottle and squished the 'rock'. IT WAS POOP. Naaastttyy! The lady came and emptied the hot tub, but we were done swimming for the night!
We're so glad we had the chance to go to Madison and watch the girls basketball, I know we all learned so much and we all hope to go next year!!

florida
Hello blog world. As some of you may know, I am going to Florida on March 8th, and because of the trip, I've been dieting and working out, to get my hopefully 'four pack' by the time we leave.
I usually run every night for four days now, I increase a mile each night, which has brought me to four miles. I also do some ab work out like sit ups, planks, push ups, etc etc.
As for my dieting, I'm a vegan for lent, but also contributes to my diet. I usually have an orange and peanut butter, or almonds and a smoothie for lunch, and peanut butter bread, veggies, and oatmeal or fruit. So I think it's going pretty good.
But my parents aren't very fond of the idea of 'vegan.' We actually have a big argument about every night, even though it's only 3 days into lent. They say it's very unhealthy, but I feel as if it's helping me stay fit!
I personally like it, but maybe it's not suitable for the rate I'm exercising...
Any ideas or tips.?

Our Basketball Season
With our amazing coach Ms.O and our great athletes this year consisting of Hannah Alme, Hannah Addyman, Grace Holdorf, Hannah Evenson, Hailey Demotts, Julia Olsem, Emily Perrish, Alyssa Nilsen, and myself, also with our awesome managers consisting of Maddie Campell, Brooke Evenson, and Carson Hinzman, we were able to go 12 and 0! We couldn't of finished our season undefeated without our hard work, Coach O. with her inspiring words and powerful coaching, and all of our parents with their enthusiasm and support.
Some games were close, but most of our games were a blow out. We didn't expect that from ourselves, but Ms.O brought our athletes within us that we didn't know existed. We all poured our heart out in every game we played and in every practice we had.
Unfortunatly, with our hard work and passion for the sport, 3 of our nine players suffered injuries through out the season. Hannah Addyman, our starter, tore her ACL and MCL and shattered her meniscus early in the season playing at SCC. Hannah Evenson was the second to go at a game at New Richmond when she pulled everything from her knee to her ankle, keeping her out for the season as well. In our last game in Elsworth Emily Perrish sprained her ankle, causing her to sit for the remaining time of the game. Each one of them were devestated, but Hannah Addyman seemed to be the most.
Last year in traveling basketball, Hannah did the exact same thing to her left knee, and putting her out from the whole school basketball season all together. She under went surgery last December and will be having the same surgery again on Febuary 28th on her right knee.
Her passion for basketball is unbelievealbe. She's dont so much for our team throughout the years, being an amazing athlete and cheering with her positive attitude. Without her on the court with us, it somehow feels empty, she brings the light into our game. But even with her sitting on the bench, we all hear her positive advice and cheering and even tearing up watching us play wishing she could be out there with us.
Even with her past two years of sitting on the bench, she'll never give up hope. I've never seen anyone love basketball like she does. She'll never give up, it only causes her to fight harder for a quick recovery. With her hope and faith, we send our prayers out to her. We love you Hannah.
Basketball to me is more than just a sport, it's something you have to devote yourself to. Something that really brings out who you are, and when our class of 2016 girls basketball team works as a team, we do amazing things.
