team decision

Every year at the end of the season the softball team does a fundraiser. We usually just do a dinner that you can buy at the game and the money goes to the team. But we knew that the rival team's (south summit)  coches family was going through a really hard time. His wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. So we sat down as a team and decided that doing something to help there family is more important that just raising money for our selves. So we talked to the team and decided to all wear our pink jerseys. And so after the game we all presented them with cash, gifts, and as much loving support we could offer. We lost that game, but that didn't matter. It mattered that we touched that families life. We made a choice to better others over ourselves.

i LOVE music (:

Momma's Broken Heart - Go and fix your make up, girl, it’s just a break up
Run and hide your crazy and start actin’ like a lady
'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
Even when you fall apart

 It's your choice if you are going to lay down and cry, or pick yourself off the ground and brush yourself.

Try- Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try

You have to take chances. If you don't you are going to end up with what you got last time.

Check Yes or NO- Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?

And if you doWell then don't be afraid to take me by the handIf you want toI think this is how love goes, check yes or no

When you do finally make a decision you can't hesitate. You can't be afraid of the choices you make. You just kinda have to "ride em' out". 

The Outsiders- We’re the bad news
We’re the young guns
We’re the ones that they told you to run from
Yeah, the player’s gonna play, and a haters gonna hate
And a regulators born to regulate
When it hits the fan, and it all goes down
And the gloves come off
You’re gonna find out just
Who we are
We do our talking, walk that walk
Wide open rocking
That’s how we roll
Our backs to the wall 
A band of brothersTogether, alone, the outsiders 

 I think sometimes the hardest part for about making decisions for people is that they fear what others will think. This is my favorite song at the moment. One thing that people find out fast about me is that I am who I am. No matter what and I'm not going to be afraid of decisions.

Wait For Me- You are not alone tonight

Imagine me there by your side
It's so hard to be here so far away from you
I'm counting the days till 
I'm finally done
I'm counting them down, yeah, one by one
It feels like forever till I return to you
But it helps me on those lonely nights
It's that one thing that keeps me alive
Knowing that you wait for me
Ever so patiently
No one else knows the feeling inside
We hang up the phone without saying goodnight
Because it's the sound of your voice that brings me home
It's never been easy to say
But it's easier when I've gone away


One of the biggest decions I have made in my life was waiting for Zak. One of the hardest things I have done. Not because it's hard to be faithful, but because it is so hard to be alone and not be able to even talk to him. So when I have a hard time I just listen to this song. 

I love you Zakarie Cole Andersen!

I take the path less traveled by..

*Freshman year in softball season* insert flashback here. 

I was a 15 year old  girl that just wanted to fit in. I just wanted others to like me. Nothing new there right? Sound like every other girl. We were in St. George for a softball tournament. I didn't really have any friends. But one of the older girls invited me to the little mall with her and a friend. I was so excited. 

While we were there they asked me to steal for them from the buckle.. They wanted me to take a bracelet. In my little head I weighed out my options. I might get friends finally. They are my ride back to the hotel. I wont be alone all season.. So what did I do? I took it..

For the rest of the tournament I had two pretty good friends. My conscience eat me alive and I went against what I believed. But hey I was no longer alone.  To top it all off I was starting varsity as a freshman!! 

But a week later my "friends" didn't like that I was starting over them, because they were older. So they turned me in to the coach. The coach called me in with them and the principal. They tried to make me seem like I took it and made them take it. I tried to tell them my side of the story and that it wasn't in my attentions. But none the less I made a very bad bad BAD decision!

I was kicked off the team, but was allowed to practice with them. I was given the decision to tell my mom or Mr. Holmes would. I told him that I needed to be responsable for my own actions. He then hugged me and sent me on my way. I told my mom in tears about the horrible thing I had done. She held me and told me I can either lay down and cry (in my room because I was rightfully grounded for 5 months) or I could pick myself up and go show them that I am determined and a better person. So after school I still went to practice. Pride a little hurt, but I still worked to become the player I wanted to be.
   I made myself a better person through the decisions I made. They were very bad, but sometimes that's how we have to learn.
