Well it was an up and down weekend. I don't really feel like talking about volleyball anymore because honestly I have talked so much about it that I don't even like talking about it right now. So I will focus on the random things that did happen. Well I got to see my family and friends up in Fort Collins and I was so excited. Got to spend a morning with my BFF of all time Amy Whitlow, and she even introduced me to the new love of soy lattes. They are very healthy tasting, but I still might get my vanilla lattes still. mmmm! I do love coffee. We got to update eachother on our lives and find out that we are still exactly the same in every way and realize that no matter how far away or how long we don't talk for we can pick up right where we left off every time.
My family spent the night after the game at my hotel for alittle while and we got to talking about the holiday season and what Thanksgiving and Christmas will hold. Potentially this will be the first Meeter/Martin(my family) and Merino (Boyfriend family) Thanksgiving. I have my Senior game the day after thanksgiving so everyone will be traveling down to see me play and spend some good quality time together. With a baby soon to be on the way by Lloyd's sister it might be alittle hectic once that little one comes into the world, but I can't wait. So we will see how Thanksgiving plays out, but I am sure that it will be memorable. Also my sister and Alex are going to come down a few days early and get to spend some time with me. We will probably have our own little holiday celebration which I am in desperate need of. I need some fun in my life.
Lloyds birthday/Halloween are coming right around the corner, but time can't seem to go fast enough. It will be fun to celebrate his big 22nd birthday. Weird. I'm starting to feel old already. :-) His current want is anything that has to do with Bikes. Bike tools, bike parts, bike candy j/k... etc. But I think I have something up my sleeve that he will definitely enjoy. I love him dearly even though today I am not too happy with him. Last night he decided to go hiking with some guys IN THE DARK! Needless to say I was very worried and not happy that instead of a nice 3 hour hike that it shouldve took, it took 6 hours and I didn't even get to see him after my trip. I'm still grumpy about it and am probably being immature about still being upset, but I am okay with that. He is going to be going on a hunting trip this weekend and so I just want some time with him cause I know our schedules are always so busy, or at least mine always messes things up.
Well I am trying to enjoy my last few weeks of volleyball and just get the most out of it. I want to be remembered as something special and that I did things right so we will see. I am searching to find a greater purpose beyond just training for volleyball 24/7 and it is taking it's toll on me especially when we lose. I'm getting a glimpse of how a professional athlete would feel. All your life is based upon these wins and losses and I don't know how they deal with it past a certain point. Wouldn't you need God? Well I want to find that purpose and do something that I wouldn't have even dreamed of. I'm hoping that these next few weeks will bring that into light. I trust God immensely, but I also want to be content in my current situation.
Well I'm off to go deal with school, volleyball, and life. Got my viente Starbucks in hand and I am ready to go.
love love love
