Swimwear

When I'm looking for a modest bathing suit this is NOT what I have in mind! No, this is not a T-shirt and skirt like it looks; this is an actual swimsuit from an online company.

Believe me, I understand the desire to cover things up while I'm at the pool but I'd say this is going a little overboard!

NBA

I watched the fourth quarter of the Jazz game last night with Jesse and I realized it has been a really, really long time since I've watched an NBA game.  I've never been a huge fan of NBA basketball and last night just solidified my opinions. Yes, I think it was exciting but that's mainly because playoff games in any sport are more exciting. Yes, I think these guys are talented but I hate how their attitudes and lifestyles have become a huge part of the game.

I feel like NBA players have a superior attitude and they have giant ego's. I'm not saying all players do, but the majority of them act like they walk on water.  In other sports you have a few outrageous, prima-donna guys, but in the NBA most of them act that way.

I could not believe the tattoos I was seeing while watching the game. I really think that 8 out of the 10 guys on the court, at any given time, had tattoos covering their arms, neck, legs, etc. Since when did painting your body become synonymous with being a basketball player. I don't really want my little boy to think that's what he has to look like in order to be a successful ball player.

I want to see athletes that are grateful for being paid enourmous sums of money for doing something they love. I appreciate athletes who have a team mentality and not "me, me me." I don't know why or how the NBA has fallen into this state, but I wish it could go back to being about the basketball.

Earth Jam

On Saturday afternoon my dad's band played in 'Earth Jam' at Liberty Park. It was a beautiful day and being in that crowd was very entertaining. Just look at the pictures and you will know what I'm talking about.

This guy was having a REALLY good time!

Go Utes!

The Spring Football Game was on Saturday and it was great to be back in Rice-Eccles.  The morning began with the annual MUSS flag football game. James played and it was so fun to watch. 

Elise and Anjila hanging out on the sidelines.

Gavin loves anything football related and anything Utah related so he had a blast on Saturday.

September can't get here soon enough. GO UTES!

Friendships

Because of a certain incident this week I have been thinking a lot about the ups and downs of friendships. I think it's special when a friendship can last for many years and especially last through high school and college. Girls can be extremely awful to each other and I would like to think we grow out of that once we graduate. Sadly I'm sure that's not true for everyone, but I'm very grateful for the friends I have who made it through all those ups and downs.

I know girls fight and gossip a lot about each other; that's one of those things I'm not sure can be avoided. What I don't understand is when a girl betrays another girl without even blinking. Why are girls so cruel to each other? I know guys don't take things as seriously as we do, but I also don't think guys betray each other like girls do.

It makes me so sad when I see girls doing this to each other. We are supposed to stick together. We are supposed to stand up for each other. We are supposed to love each other; not leave each other in the dust as soon as another opportunity comes up. 

To all my friends out there; thank you for sticking with me through the drama! I'm glad to be on the other side of that and to enjoy the relationships I have with all of you.

Happy Easter!
