Softball

So, Tyler and I have been playing on a co-ed intramural softball team and tournament time has begun! Our team was bumped up to the upper bracket for tournament which is far from what we wanted but is somewhat of a compliment. We lost our first game so we are now in the loser's bracket which is fine by me. Yesterday we had our second game. It was epic. At one point we were down by a large sum of points. However, in the final inning, we were down by four and we were last to bat. Tyler was our fifth runner in to win the game. Then, since we won we had to play another game right away. I never knew how tired softball can make you, or maybe it was just standing in the outfield under the blazing sun for an hour - who knows. Well this game was just as epic. We were down by quite a bit, but the last inning came, we were down by four, and we were last to bat. Doesn't this seem familiar? And what do ya know? We Won! It was a lot of fun and we are excited to play our next game on Saturday morning, even if it is at 8:15.

Tyler is also on a men's softball team with his quorum and they are doing great. It's a lot of fun to watch them with all the other wives. They recently won their first tournament game and I'm not sure when their next game is. Hopefully they can go all the way and win that t-shirt!

Other than softball, our lives have been pretty quiet. I finally went to the doctor about my back and found out from the physical therapist that I simply have a weak back and I have to keep up on keeping my core strong or else it's just always going to hurt. So, in a nut shell, I found a much better motivation for me to be consistent in staying in shape. Also, Tyler hiked Mt Loafer with his sister and her husband. I stayed home with their kids and my mother-in-law because of my back. Apparently it was a doozy, but Tyler said he enjoyed it and he brought me back some flowers. So cute :)

Tonight we are having a date night: bowling at the wilk (yes, it will get competitive) and then dinner at Brick Oven. (and then hopefully a movie at home, but we'll see.) Should be a good night!

  3. What is the plan after graduation? Ah, the MOA. I do miss it often when I walk into work and realize I don't work with people as awesome as the people at the MOA.

  4. Well, I'm planning on applying to the Social Work grad program here at BYU. That deadline is January. If I don't make it in, (which is likely) then I'll be lookin for a big girl job and Tyler will have another year and a half left of his undergrad. Yay provo :)

  7. Good luck with the social work program...which you actually have no control over really what happens, but you know what I mean!

    You get to dominate Provo for another year in a half! Now this is where GOOD LUCK does work. And I am excited to see where you guys go from there!!
