Obsession!

Let me let you in on a little secret. My parents had 1 boy and then 3 girls. They'd learn their 5th would be another little girl. Of course they were excited (plus, they had no choice in the matter), but they secretly wanted a boy. Almost 2 months after their angel of a daughter was born (me), their friends, Craig and Sheri Denney, had a little boy (they had wanted a girl). They joked about how noone would even know if they switched us. Luckily they didn't. I look exactly like my sisters and Brett is ALL Denney. (If you haven't met him... he's 6'huge'' and BIG). One of my best buds for sure!! So, even though I've turned into a little lady over the years, I'm still OBSESSED with sports. Growing up, in the summers, you would have found me in the dugout, keeping the actual scorebooks for my dad's softball games. In the winters, I'd go to basketball games and tumble across the gym floor during timeouts and halftimes. This is where I also learned how to whistle, dribble, spin a basketball on my finger and other valuable life lessons. Now that I'm "all grown up," the obsession continues. When I used to have more time for tv, I'd claim "SportsCenter" on ESPN as my favorite show. I love keeping up with the guys and talk sports. Even more, I love to play! Anything and everything! Still living in Provo, I've become addicted to Intramurals. There have been times when I was on up to five or six teams at once (including city leagues of course). My personal favorite and forte is volleyball. This season, my girls team went to the Elite 8 before elimination. My co-ed team just got knocked out last week, only to the ex-BYU players (including Rob AND Brian Congelier, Chelsea Goodman and Josh Jorgensen). Are you kidding me?! We actually put up a great fight and took them to 3 games. Loved every second of it.

Aside from volleyball, basketball and flag football have always been fun for me. This year was my first, though, taking up soccer. I was never put in the sport growing up, because I was always busy with tennis, gymnastics, track, volleyball and basketball. But who knew it was so much fun?! I have the best team in intramurals. Of course, I have mostly ex-BYU players on my team (Brooek, Davia, Char, Theo, Caroline, Jen, Nikki, Erica, Ali, plus some other amazing players like Brittany and Athena). It's so much fun though!

WE ARE IN THE FINALS on Tuesday! We're all super stoked. I'm especially worked up on the idea of getting an Intramural Championship t-shirt (this pic is actually from the Congelliere's). It's a coveted piece of life here at BYU, and hopefully it will be mine Tuesday! I'll keep you posted!!
