Monday: the day of PAIN

By -
Hi all, this is becca. Oh my gosh, today was my second day of Cross Country, and we went to Hillside Junior High for it. Let me tell you, it isn't called that for nothing. we ran about 2 miles on the foothills, (remember how hard it was backpacking? that's about how steep it was). Then we did Hill re-runs (where you run up this super steep hill about 8 times). The coaches all agreed taht the head coach (Danny whatever) was crazy. Jake skinner threw up four times. I met a new friend, Jenny, she is a Senior in college, and she goes to NNU. She is so sweet, because when i would get tired running, she would keep pushing me and make me go farther. I started feeling sick, so i only did one of the hill re-runs, and Jenny and Coach Young (the girls coach, she is great) just walked around the hills. The three of us (four including Coach Young's dog, Aspen) all decided to head back early. I dont know how it happened, but Jenny and I got seperated from Coach Young, and we ended up taking this 3 miles detour around the foothills, but we still managed to get back to the school before the rest of the team came.

It was HARDDDDDDDDDDDDD like CRAZYYYYYYYYYY.

i was so close to being like "oh my gosh i never want to do cross country again", but you know what, I am so glad i stuck with it. So many girls that signed up aren't going to show up, so i'm going to have a headstart on them. I'm proud, even if i am the slowest girl on the team so far.

love becca <3

A li'l something to get you in the holiday mood..

Okay, so here's the story behind this. We were reading scriptures, in Corinthians, about resurrection and being called back to the Lord or something....It mentioned something about the trumpets of God welcoming you back to heaven, and mom broke out into the trumpet fanfare from some Handel's Messiah piece. Becca, Lexi, and I did not (obviously) get the reference, but later on Dad broke out into some awesome Handel bass, and then...Voila! Mom came in with the trumpet fanfare, which was part of the song! We tried to get her to do it again on video, but she said she "does not perform on command." (next time we'll carry around a camera all the time just in case!) but anyways, here's what scripture reading is like at our house...enjoy! Love, Eliza
