SIKE

I hate this part of the year. I don't like to sound so gloomy and negative (especially around the holidays) but Utah just brings out the worst in me sometimes :)

Life has been pretty good to me lately. School is almost over. YAHOOO
Soooo cannot wait. This semester has been kicking my bootay. My brain needs a rest or it might just overload itself.
I'll be back in Zona on Monday. Couldn't be any happier!
Looking forward to that Sunshine, Blue Skies, and 80 degree weather that has been calling my name.
It also means I get to see my amazing family that I have been missing SO much.
I am pretty sure my niece might have graduated from High School already. It's been way to long.
I know this is short, but I have got to get moving along to class. I am in the student athlete computer lab writing this, and I am pretty sure like 5 random trackand football guys are reading this.
Love you All!

Back to Utah

YES
I'm wayyy behind I know
But this has been a crazy month for me
Getting back to Utah, unpacking, getting settled, SCHOOL, SOFTBALL,
physical therapy...my list goes on.
But right now life is fantastic!!!
Couldn't be better. Loving school (surprisingly) and softball has been fun.
I ADORE the girls I live with. I have so much fun ALL the time! I am so blessed to have great girls in my life like Jo and Doogie. They are awesome. Always there to give me advice with my crazy life, and to listen to my gibberish.

Things I miss about Home:
1. Mesa Fro Yo
Right about now I am majorly craving some Marshmallow Creme or Irish Mint.
2. The HEAT!
Utah is already getting cold. It is depressing. I have already put my car heater into some good use this week. And that was when it was only 45 degrees out in the morning..I am gonna have to get used to the cold all over again...
3. My FAMBAM
Gosh they are the greatest! I really miss them. They are always there for me through thick and thin. I miss my baby niece! That sweet face of hers can always make me smile. I miss just being around the busy Price household and feeling apart of the organized chaos.
4. The AZ Cruzin
So I don't know if it is just me, but the roads and drivers in Utah are absolutely HORRID! I miss people who actually know what blinkers are used for and roads that don't make my car shake. My poor Lexi is having a hard time adjusting. And I have almost been killed numerous times from crazy Zoobies acting like they own the road!

Things I am grateful for in Utah
1. BYU Football:
WOW I love them. I know that last weekend was a pathetic performance...but I just don't count that one. We are amazing this year! It makes me so happy for our boys, cause I know they work so hard. But they are also just so fun to watch. Going to the football games are so exciting. Our fans are crazy, but that is the best part. Can't wait for BASKETBALL to start!!!
2. FREEDOM
Being able to do what I want when I want, is amazing. Sorry Mom and Dad I love you but I'm glad you are not here to dictate what my day will consist of :D
3. Back to Friends/ My Sisters
I missed my girls in UTAH! I am so happy to be back with them and be around them all the time. They just bless my life everyday, and make it so much more fun. They are amazing and I don't know what I would do without them..Probably just go insane. And I know no one would wanna see that.
4. Softball
I am so happy to be back! I was a little worn out towards the end of season last year...but being out these last 6 months (due to my surgery) has been so painful for me. Watching the girls practice while I am restrained to the sidelines has been so SAD for me! Only another month till I'll be back out there with them. I love the atmosphere and being around my teammates again. It's a feeling only a few people get to experience, and it's amazing. I am so grateful that I get to play in a fantastic D1 program. I am so blessed.


Ok well that's all my updating I am gonna do for now. It's game day for the Lady Cougs so I need to go get prepped!
Here are some pics from the last month.

Bye bye summer dayz

10

DAYZZZZ

left of summer...

of no school..

and being tan.

Why does summer have to fly by so fast?!

AZ weather should be mandatory for every state in the US

too bad we can't change that.

Obama maybe you can change that?

Doubt it.

My most recent loves/obsessions:


I saw this at Nordie'sa few days ago. It was instant love. This is the Mercedes G-Wagon!!!! YUM.




These little fella's are possibly the cutest creatures on earth (well at least in my world!) Can't wait till I can have my own.

I was just informed,by my wonderful Father, that in the near future (Fall Semester) it looks like I will be cruisin' around Provo on one of these sweet lil' things! Vespa's are the bomb. I can't tell you how EXCITED I AM!!!!!! This just made my day......


You can't help but just WANT it.

Procrastination is my Middle Name

New Resolutions for the rest of 2009:
-Learn how to use Twitter
-Jailbreak my Iphone
&
-Keep updating my blog!
So here it goes.....
Summer has been fab! I absolutely love AZ. It's crazy that I wanted to get out of here so fast last summer, and now I don't wanna leave! I must have been out of my mind last year. I really have enjoyed my job as a nanny this summer. The Ambus family is so awesome. The boys are great. I swear its the greatest job. I get to stay inside from the heat, play with fun boys, and enjoy the company of a wonderful family (while enjoying the benefits of ridiculously good pay). Even though 13, 11, and 8 year old boys can make you EXTREMELY tired. But they keep me laughing and smiling in between the constant nagging I feel like I do with them. I think they like me cause they ALWAYS want me to stay later, and later every night. They just informed me that I need to invest in a Nintendo DSI.. I guess this is the newest coolest thing in the lives of youngsters. When I told them I would get a PINK one they didn't even care. I guess color won't sway their love for Pokemon. I even pulled a 12 hour shift last week. That was a long one! I think I wanted to smack them while they were running around the aisles in Target. I think this experience has really made me realize how tiring being a Mom is. So ya'll might have to wait another decade before I settle down and start poppin them out!
School at MCC...
in two words
A JOKE
No offense to those who go there full time. I am sure that during the regular school year its a lot harder! But summer session has been the greatest time. Just cruising through all my classes with A's. This is gonna boost my G.P.A. so much! It really is amazing. I will be done with all of my General Education classes when I head back up to the Y in the fall. It really has been worth it to push through one summer of 4 classes. I recommend it to anyone! It really beats BYU spring and summer session. I don't think I have worried over one test, midterm, or project once this whole summer. That has been such a relief. However, when I get back up in the fall I am really gonna have to kick some butt. I start my Major Requirement classes, and I am a little nervous! I am going in expecting a challenge so maybe I will do better than I think.....
Physical Therapy is coming along great. My wonderful PT Fred told me that my range of motion is awesome! So I am really happy for that. Still can't start playing till September though...Such a bummer! But I still am training to prepare myself for conditioning and lifting in the fall! I am so excited to get back and play. Even though being injured really is depressing sometimes. I just try to remember how much fun I have when I am playing! Talking to Coach Neta today made my day! She is so fun. I can't believe they are already recruiting for the class of 2012! It makes me feel ANCIENT. This year I will officially be out of the "teen" years and that still is a hard thing for me to grasp. I am not sure how I feel about all of this growing up stuff! Not looking forward to it. But most of my friends seem to be coping with it fine, getting married and having babies already! I feel like I am falling behind haha. Oh well I go at my own pace!!!!
Till Next Time.
AmBuh

Here are some pics of Larissa and I displaying our Political Opinions.....hahaha sorry to offend any :p


Went to Liberty Market today for the first time with Shane and Heather. SO GOOD! Check it out on Downtown Gilbert.

April Showers :)

Let's just say I know it has been way to long! I have been left behind in the world of blogging thanks to my sister who likes to show me up. Sorry! School has kept me busy, along with doctors appointments, softball, and wait...yes more school. But it's winding down here to the end. ONLY 3 MORE WEEKS!!! WOO HOO! So excited. Well there isn't much left to say. I found this really awesome site called Etsy.com. It's full of people selling their home made ideas, and crafts online. It is really nifty and I love it! I think if I decide to pick back up my sewing fetish maybe I'll sell some of my blankets on there!
I found this one lady in particular from Gilbert! I love her stuff! They are wall decals for rooms or anything in your house you can figure out to stick stuff on. I used to have this really cute tree one from IKEA but it fell off. Hers seem so durable so I want to order one from her. He blog is http://blog.lewasdesigns.com/ or http://www.lewasdesigns.etsy.com GO CHECK IT OUT! She has the cutest stuff to make your room or house just more unique. There is some really cute birds, dandilions, and hearts that I think I am goign to invest in pretty soon. I think these would be the cutest gifts as well and I plan on getting some for my friends maybe!
Lately I have been in the redecoration mode. Me along with 4 of my best friends, JoJo, Pua, Line and Dugie are moving into a house for Fall/Winter semester. I AM SO EXCITED! In fact we all our, we are just glad to finally be getting out own place that we can spread out in. Our house is actually newly renovated, and is lovingly called...."The Birdhouse". How cute is that? The second we saw it we fell in love. Not only is the house great but the landlord is awesome too! We have already grown to love Michael! He just does whatever you need, whenver you need it. I mean the guy shovels snow out of your driveway at 6 AM during the winter. WHO DOES THAT??? Someone really awesome I guess!
Well the countdown to surgery has officially begun!
--------> this is me on April 23!




In case you have been hiding in a cave for the past few months I will update you. I was diagnosed after having a TON of shoulder pain after throwing, with a posterior tear of my labrum. Apparently this is a really weird tear especially for a softball player. Usually the tears are in the anterior region. WEll you know me I always have the weird stuff happen to me. Anyways, further examination showed that I also had a slap lesion across my bicep tendon. So pretty much a mess. I was told I could possibly play through the pain, but it become to much to handle. Therefore I decided to redshirt this year, so that I will be eligible for 4 more years. I really am bummed about it and am already missing the field! According to medical redshirt rules, even though I haven't had surgery yet I still can't participate in practice. So I just sit and watch. I HATE IT! It seriously makes me so sad everytime I see the girls playing. It's hard but I bear with it. And I have now become the official scorekeeper for the team. Ya I am pretty much a pro at keeping the book. Dont argue with me.
Yes 22 long days until I can be considered a partial invalid. I am not particularily looking forward to it. I am told that I will need EVERYTHING done for me for the first weeek. This accounts for putting on my jeans, buttoning my jeans, showering (ya awkard), food prep, writing, typing, driving, and pretty much anything else I do in my life that keeps me alive. Yep I will officially become a one month old baby again, I am sure my mom is super excited about it. Love you mommy :)
Confrence is this weekend! This means that my love, sister, twin and best friend AMILYNN BALDWIN will be joining me for the weekend! I am so excited! She called last night telling me she was going to stay with me. It made my week! Out of all the people in Provo she could have picked, she picked muah! All I can say is that we are gonna have a TON of fun. Also her brother Jordan is coming who I haven't seen since pre-mish! I am excited to see him and catch up.
My birthday is in 11 days! AHHH SO WEIRD! After this one, I will only be left with one year of teen years! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I really don't want to grow up. It scares me! But what the heck, take life day by day right? 19 won't be so bad!


Well that is pretty much my update. Hope everyone is doing fab. I miss you all.
Love
Ber

As of Late

So its been awhile since I have posted...Ok try a month! So sorry to family that is wondering what the heck I've been doing here in UTAH!!! Well I am actually not in little, sweet Provo right now. Darn :O . Im in the City of Sin...VEGAS BABY!! Yes BYU softball is here playing in a tournament. Last week it was St. George. We got to see some pretty tough competition but I am proud to say we handled it very well. We only lost to Tennessee and Washington. Tennessee 4-0 and Washington 7-4. Both games were very close and in my opinion we should have won. We took Tenn. to 10 innings scoreless. It was awesome. After we lost the Tenn. coach came over to our dugout and told us he thought we were an amazing team. He hopes to see us at the World Series this year. It was such a compliment!!! I know that our team is good enough to get there we just need to work on a few things. Well besides softball my life has been going pretty smooth. My dad was able to come watch me play last week and it was fun being able to see him. I definitely miss him a lot. School is going good, although it's tough to keep up on it while I am on the road so much. But I am doing the best I can. My new obsession with BYU sports is the Basketball team. Me and my girl Megan Stauffer are looking in to investing in some season tickets for next year. WE LOVE THE GAMES! We have so so soooo much fun watching and getting very much into the game. Megan especially likes Jimmer Freddette. For those of you who don't know who this fine man is go ahead and check this out....

Oh yes we rep for that number 32..GO WHITE BOYS!! That is why we love Jimmer..Especially Megan.
It has become tradition for us to take a picture at every game we go to.

Well I need to get back to my homework. Got to stay on top of my studies! I'll update some more as the tournament continues this weekend! love you all.
