Portland trip day 1

We we made it to Portland safe and sound. It was an uneventful drive (thank God). We didn't have to play so we got to play. This is very very different than soccer trips. Much more relaxed. We stopped in Pendleton for lunch and we were given are Assassin assignments. They play this game "Aassassin". Basically the object of the game is to be the final assassin. You draw a name and your mission (if you choose to accept it) is to kill your target without any one witnessing it. There are rules about safe zone, such as the restroom or shower, restaurants, any building that has a gym. We have dollar store toy dart guns. If you are killed then you give your assassin your target. I drew Brydges. Now... the problem with Brydges is she is NEVER without Ramirez. Unfortunately she had me and was able to kill me before I got her. She had more experience at this game than I did. I want to play again, since I'm much smarter. At the time I'm writing this, Tori is still alive. I'll let you know how it goes.

We went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner and it was Georgia's 16th birthday yesterday. Coach picked up a cake and some toys from the store. She gave them to each of the rooms and told the girls to be creative and put together a present for Georgia. They presented them to her at dinner. I was impressed with how creative they were. It was alot of fun. These girls are very entertaining. Georgia was a great sport. I'll bet she never forgets this birthday.

After dinner we went bowling. For being multi-athlete girls they are very poor bowlers. It was encredible funny with them trying to bowl and keep from being assassined. I took a few pictures before we got in trouble for using flashes. The pictures I took without the flash weren't very good. Wellllllllll, it's not letting upload the pictures today, so I'll post them later(probably the wireless at the hotel). We have a game today at 2:15 and 8:40 today. Check in later for more updates on our trip.

Prom

It is Prom Night ~ It all started two weeks ago when Lodge (his real name is Andrew Lodge but Tori just calls him Lodge) unofficially ask Tori to go to Prom. As it turns out Boise and Timberline's Prom is on the same night (Lodge goes to THS). So they are just going to THS's prom. The shopping for a dress began. Lodge gave Tori a list of colors he would not wear (he wanted to match his Tux to her dress). We finally found the perfect dress. Finally this week we got the official invitation, a box of rose petals, rose and a note. Then we had to give him an answer, so we went to Petco and bought a Beta fish and bowl. She made a sign to put on the fish bowl that said "It will be a SPLASH to go to Prom with you" and we delivered it to his house while he was at work. I treated her to getting her hair and makeup done. Lodge picked her up at 5:00, here they are exchanging flowers. Took some pictures and then they were off to Lodge's house for more pictures. She said that...

Welcome to the deep end...

...this is the message I got on Monday as I jumped in. Monday was my birthday, another milestone day.  One that I have been dreading for weeks.  Not sure why this one is so hard to swallow.   For weeks I have been feeling like the crocodile from Peter Pan...Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.  The days just tick away. Birthday's are interesting, there is a build up as the day gets closer adding to the excitement (or dread).  Then the alarm goes off on the "BIG" day and you wake up just like any other day.  The same person, nothing feels different.  If it wasn't for the wrinkles you see in the mirror you wouldn't know you were any older. It isn't until you mentally do the math in your head and realize that you're starting a new decade of your life.  60 is the new 30, right!?! We need to not dwell on the years that have past, we should look forward to the years ahead of us, all the new adventures to be had, people to meet, life left to experience. So let'...

Tori Scores! ! ! ! !

SENIOR NIGHT We had two very important (and tough) games this week. We needed to win them both to end up high in the standings. Monday's game, Senior night, was against Capital, Tori played outside back defender the whole first half. Then he moved her to outside midfielder for the second half. Boise won to win 3-1. Wednesday was again Centennial at Centennial. We started pretty flat and they scored first. Tori went in about half way through the first half as a outside midfielder. She SCORED with about 2 minutes left in the first half. It was a beauty...... We were able to come out in the second half and score again. Tori played really well in both games. Then we just held on tight and pulled out the win. We are going into the District Tourney as #2 seed. We play Saturday 10/11 at Centennial High School at 11:00. Come cheer her on..............
