Utah so far...

So I was talking to my parents and they told me that people have been wondering how I'm doing.  I've been really busy so sorry if you haven't gotten an update, so I decided that a blog would be an easy way for you guys to try and see what I'm up to up here in Salt Lake.  I'm new to this so hopefully its not too bad!!

So i have been up in Salt Lake for about 2 and a half weeks now and things have been great! The first week I got up here was just one practice a day with the upperclassmen running our practices. After about a week we got ready to start our preseason.

Aug. 4th we all packed up and moved into the guest house.  The whole team checked in and headed to meetings for the day to sign paperwork and get things squared away.  We had a team dinner at macaroni grill that night.  Let me tell you I love the college athlete life already!! FREE MEALS!! But we went back to the guest house that night and relaxed with our roommates and headed to bed to get a good nights rest for our first official day of preseason.
Our first day of preseason was a good one.  A little intimidating coming into a team that you have never played with but the girls were great and really positive with the 10 new freshmen that were joining the team.  
We had three days in a row of two a days and then headed off to Oakley Utah for our team retreat at one of the girls on the team's cabin.  We played rock band (which was really interesting to hear some of the girls belt out their souls), pool, latter golf, hoola hooped, 4-wheeled, and ate up at the cabin.  I had a great time and somehow managed to get a bed in the cabin...but don't tell the upperclassmen that slept on mats on the floor!! 
But preseason has been going good.  I'm trying to adjust to a new team and a little different surface from the flat turf I'm used to.  Our field is a little thicker than I'm used to.  But i love the girls and the team and I am way excited to start playing games!


Hope you guys like my new blog! I'll try to keep you guys updated.  Tell me what you think!
