picket fence dream

Skip a day of blogging and you suddenly feel forgotten... though I'm pretty sure my mom is the only person who reads every post and I talked to here a few minutes ago.

I hope you enjoyed my pictures of mine and Carina's dorm room from when we where at EFY at Utah State. Dorm rooms just so happen to be the topic of todays post.

So my mom (click here to visit her blog!) has had this dream that I realy want to come true. (its kinda my dream too.) We want to buy a house just off of Utah State campus and redo it super cute (like flower box, tourquoise door, and a picket fence kind of cute.) then rent it out to colledge students. Then in 3 years (if I do decide to go to Utah State like I'm planning to) will live there and not have to pay rent! Then my sister will join me a few years after that. I think this is a good plan!

A new day. A better day. A bowl of white rice.

here is a random picture of me and some of my team mates at CPK in Long Beach for Nationals! Oh how I wish I could go back! Twas so much fun!

So remember when I was complaining about tumbling and being frustrated and whatnot? Well today got better. Much better! We moved the Double Mini again today (remember how double mini moving days are my favorite?! ya well they are!!!) I worked Double fronts and Flifises into pit. Tramp was fun. We got to see our new trampoline passes for the next four years. Though we struggled figuring out what some of the new skills are, I think it will be fun. Tumbling went loads better! LOADS! I got to move past my "fun drill"! And do some fun stuff. (I still had to do the drill some though) Its getting better. On Tumble track I'm working tumbling out of fulls with Jake and that's super fun!

Today we where messing around and decided to give everyone a food nickname that starts with the first letter of their name. Teri is Teriyaki, Sterling is Stir fry, Shawn (the tallest one in the gym) is Shrimp (though my nickname for him is still Laquisha), Dawn (my pregnant coach) is dumpling, Kodee is Kabob, Coach Jill is Jam. There are others, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. Anyone want to take any guesses on what my name is??? You guessed it! WHITE RICE! (or Butch from Shawn) Though my team mates think white rice is to long so I just get called White. Its funny hearing my coaches yell "LETS GO WHITE RICE!", "LETS GO KABOB!" My team is a little weird. But I like them that way.

USA Swimming Performs 'Call Me Maybe'

Phillip Phillips -- Home -- U.S. Olympic Team Trials Gymnastics

Fab 5 Golden Girls

Mckalya Maroney's vault was perfect!!! ....but her bra strap was showing.... .267 deduction because her bra strap was showing! hahaha my coach is so funny! I <3 Stick It! Look at the judges faces!!



The first time its happened in my life time. The 2nd time in history. The last time it happened was the year I was born. I will never forget the day the US Women became Olympic Champions.  These five girls will go down in history. Im so happy for all five of them, especially Jordyn. It was so good to see Jordyn's smiles after seeing her heart breaking tears in qualifying. The U.S. women dominatied on vault. Maroney's vault was perfect! Just look at the judges faces. They made up that deduction. But it doesn't matter because the U.S. are just AWESOME! They fought hard the whole way through and came out on top. WAY on top! Russia was 5 entire points behind with no chance of catching. That moment in Alys floor routine when she landed that last tumbling pass and they knew they had gold was a moment that will forever replay in my head. There may or may not have been tears on my end. 


Now everybody keeps telling me they can't wait until I 'm part of the fab five. Flattering, but when will they realize power tumbling isn't in the Olympics?


I can't wait until AA and event finals.
