School Rivalry

This week we played Rocky Mountain on Monday. This is the new high school in Meridian. It was a pretty easy game. We were up 5-0 at half time and end up winning 6-2. Tori played 3/4 of the game. It did get to be a very physical game and one of our girls, got taken out. She is probably out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.
T's comment about this next picture is "Dang, my hair looks so good, I should have been sitting on the bench". This has been a joke around our house this fall. The coach is very hard to predict, so she has been expecting to spend a lot of time on the bench. So she says, "If I'm going to be sitting on the bench, I'm going to be lookin' good"......

Our game on Thursday was against our biggest rivalry school --- Timberline.... This is another one of those teams that has a lot of the girls from the club team, so it gets to be pretty personal. They scored first on a marginal call. Our Keeper Hannah had the ball but the linesman said the ball was over the line. Here's the picture~~~~ What do you think?????

We scored the next two, then they scored again just before half time 2-2 at half. Tori didn't play in the first half. But she started and played the whole second half and did a great job. The only goal they scored in the second have was on PK (penalty kick). Megan Marks fouled in the box. She's our center back. Tori's been playing right outside back (defense). The game ended in a 3-3 tie. So we now have 3 win and 2 ties on the season.


She didn't quite get high enough to get a head on this one.

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'...

Taking donations......

If anyone one wants to contribute to the Lewis education fund, please feel free........... Alex has a friend that is going to this art school in Eagle, called Arts West. It is pretty expensive. He first brought up going last year and I told him there was noooo way he could go. Well, he has been hanging out with his friend Jeff and has started asking about going again. So, I told him that he would need to see if he can get some scholarships. They are having auditions for scholarship this Saturday and he has done all the leg work, scheduled his audition time, got all his art work together, wrote his 350 work vision statement, had me take his picture. So he seems very determined to go. So tomorrow at 3:40 is his audition. I have mixed emotions. I'm very glad to see him excited about school. But I'm not excited about having to come up with the money to pay for it. I wish him the best of luck tomorrow and I really hope it goes well for him. Good luck, Al...... We Love you and are v...
