Hello all (: So yesterday I was doing sprint drills and what not in my backyard and I was practically dying after doing one sprint. It was freaking me out bc I knen I was not THAAAAT out of shape. Come to find out their was a major heat index advisory yesterday so... that was kind of funny. Can't beleive we go back to school in less than a month. not cool. well I have to head to work now. love you dolls!

Hi girls!! I feel like it has been ages since i have been on here to post something!! I was on vacation last week and didn't take a computer or anything and was trying to stay away from my phone as much as possible (which actually worked out pretty well haha) so that i could totally get refreshed and enjoy myself before school starts. my vacation was awesome!! we were in the best place ever (indian river, michigan). we had a house on the lake and had a boat for the week so we were out swimming and tubing and we got to water ski (took me forever to get up on the skis and then i was only up for like 5 seconds haha). we also did all kinds of other fun stuff so if you wanna know details text/facebook/whatever haha. and since i was on vaca i decided to not work out. i was going to try and run every day but that didn't happen cuz i just didn't feel like it some days and others we were busy doing other stuff. needless to say it didn't do me any good and i feel super out of shape! i know it was only a week but i never wanna do that again! i just went out to run and was going to do 2 miles, well i got 1 ran and then had to walk cuz i was just so tired. i am so grumpy about it that i am going to go out and run again, doing it a lil different, but it just made me super grumpy! i know you guys r going to think im a freak but i am actually looking forward to getting back into doing workouts (paige already told me im a freak but thats fine :p haha). well now that i have written like the longest post in forever i am going to go run again and work off some of this vacation junk food that needs to go. have a great day everyone!! :)

Hello my lovely ladies. Well. I am exhausted. I went over to Gayla's the other night with Maggot and got 4 hours of sleep only to drive 2.5 hours home to work. I am a re-tard. haha but it's okay it was a good time. It made me really excited for this coming year. My father and I played some softball together and it made me miss the travel ball days a lot. I also had a my high school softball coach pass away yesterday morning. It was really sad. He was a really good guy. So this week was super bitter/sweet for me. I hope everyone is doing well. Keep in touch I feel like I haven't spoken to half of you all in a really long time!

ohhh heyy! so i thought i should let everyone know it's official i'm CRAZYY! So for the past week and a half or so i have been living by myself because my one roommate still isn't officially moved in and brooke went on vacation with her family! anyway because i have no one to talk to i have literally been talking to myself! like i'll ask myself a question out loud than i will answer it! it's getting bad!!! the other day I was at kroger and was talking out loud to myself but if you were someone watching you would of thought i was talking to the bread!!! I was just trying to decide if I wanted wheat or white bread & people were giving me these really crazyy stares!!
Here is another laugh for everyone, i had another blonde moment yesterdayy! I have class from 5:30-9:30 on tuesday and thursday nights and before I go to class i try to make myself dinner and take it with me! well last night i decided i just wanted some mac n cheese cause i wasn't that hungary. Anyway so i put the water on the stove for it to boil. I leave the kitchen & like 10 min later i go back to see if the water is boiling! It wasn't! So i went back to watching tv then 5 min later went back to the water...still wasn't boiling! at this point i have like 15 min to get to class and the water still hasn't started to boil, so i'm getting so bad and like yelling at the stove for being stupid!! Then i realize i never turned the stove on!!! hahaha needless to say i felt like an idiot!!!

hey guys! so nothing new is going on with me. i recently got spotify, well my bf did and i'm using his :)...but its amazing!!! seriously if you have a chance to get an invite i def suggest it. i will be at our last team scrimmage/cookout and i hope to see everyone there!

hey everybody!

soo just about getting ready to go to work haha yay me!! ummm nothing really big is going on around here expect for me working and working out haha yeah that's about my life lol oh my sisters and mom and I are all going shopping this weekend! that should be a good time. every summer we try to take one weekend go shopping spend the night somewhere and then get up and shop some more. even though i don't have buko dollars to spend lol it should still be a good time with my sisters and mom :) im excited...but other than that not much is happening...oh anyone a bachorletter fan?!?!?!?!? i just became one this season and this monday is the finale! i have to watch it on hulu the next morning due to work but im super pumped about that...i hope she picks JP if not then im going to marry JP myself! haha welp i better be going now officially time to get ready for work...at least i get a pay check tonight! welp everyone have a magical weekend...later girls!! :)

So last night me and Elyse went over to Kayla's it was a blast and I can't wait to move back to school. I know I sound really lame who wants to go to school? Anyway my workouts are coming along i'm getting my Y membership next week, and my pool should be ready sometime soon but these people are taking forever!! and it's making me angry!

hello!
So I just got back from Florida on Monday. It was super hot down there but at least there was a breeze as opposed to here where there is nothing! I got to see Magger and Elyse yesterday and it made me super anxious to see everyone else :D My younger sister is in her ASA nationals in Tennesse right now so I am home alone all week. Other then that it is just the typical working, working out, and hanging out with people. Hope everyone has a good week!

Kayla

Hi girls! Hope everyone's week has been going well. I am currently back home because last week I rear ended an SUV which in turn, smashed my hood. Of course the other vehicle didn't have a scratch...which is good I guess. Anyway I haven't been doing much just working out and working on projects. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

hey guys hope everyone is doing well! i've been a little busy lately because on sunday during the storm our house got struck by lightning it was crazy! it blew out like half the power in our house so we had to get a bunch of outlets replaced and our big tv system and such in the basement is completely ruined so were still dealing with that. im just glad that the big chunk of wood that flew off the house didnt hit my car cause then we'd have even more problems! erin don't get struck by lightning in the storms while you're running! have a good week everyone!

Hey everyone! So today I worked at a 30 million dollar house ..its freaking rediculous lol ! Then I did cardio kick boxing and zumba after my softball workout! It kicked my butt hah. Have a great day everyone :)

So...running in thunderstorms...totally an awesome and stupid idea! =)  I went for a run today in my neighborhood, which is about 4-5 miles depending on the path I take, and I didn't know it til I was about 5 or so minutes out that a thunderstorm was forming.  So here I am, running with lightning and thunder all around and I am too stubborn to turn back early.  After I got to the end and was turning back, the sky was super black and the rain and wind started to pick up....oops!  I began to hightail it back home!  It was probably the best race of my life!!!!  All these people looked at me like I was crazy when they ran into their houses and several cars stopped trying to see if they could take me home...even my mom came looking for me hahaha!  But I can't ever pass up running in a storm like that so I kept saying no to people.  The storm definitely beat me home but it was well worth running in it...BEST RUN OF THE SUMMER!!!

It's fair weeeekk!! Tonight is showmanship and I am really nervous but excited at the same time. I have definetly filling up on fair food as a treat for my work outs. They cancel out...... right?

AUG. 8 SCRIMMAGE INFO ~ READ THIS!!!!

Hey ladies!! August 8 is going to be our last open fields and we want everyone who can possibly come to be there. This is going to be a team scrimmage/cookout before school starts and even though we can't make it mandatory, we would REALLY REALLY REALLY like if everyone tried their hardest to get there. I'm not sure if this is enough notice for people to call off work, but that's how serious we are about everyone coming. If you're coming from far away, talk to each other to possibly carpool, and if you need to spend the night, let us know and we'll get things arranged. We'll get more information out about the cookout once it gets closer, but PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOUR COMING OR NOT as soon as you know. Thanks girls!!!

Workouts today kicked my butt since I took last week off. I'm going to the McKinley monument tonight with my friend to run the stairs so that should be fun... hah. I'm preparing myself encase we have to do the dreadful bleacher run again lol. I got the iPhone yesterday so I'm still in the process of getting used to it. I'm typing this blog from it so I can get better at texting haha. I made the girls I babysit go with me to get it because that's the only time I have to get anything done ever anymore. This summer has been crazyy.

ohh heyy everyone! I just got off work and am about to go workout for the dayy! I have class tonight at 5:30 & i hope the time fly's by because my attention span normally can't last 4 hours...it's getting better though! I hope everyone has a great week!

This week is the county fair and my little sister shows dairy feeders! she gets to compete in the showmen of showman contest where she has to learn how to show every animal at the fair! I can't wait to watch it! She also placed third overall with one of her calves. Which is pretty sweet! And Jake left for training yesterday :( so I will see him after we come home from winter break! Seems like years from now. But workouts have been going good, they are hard but I guess thats a good thing. I can't make it Monday for the scrimmage on the 8th becuase I am getting my wisdom teeth out that day!! :( I am not looking forward to it. But this Sunday me Megan and Amy are going to Boston for 4 days to watch the red sox! I got them tickets for Megan's graduation and Amy's birthday! We are also stopping by carlos' Bakery in NJ on our where there! I am so pumped! It should be fun. hope you all are having a good week!

well this girl has softball camp the next three days. I'm excited :) I will be the pitching instructor for the whole camp. My internship is still going great. I believe that this is the right fit for me. I will be up in sunbury saturday night then we leave for michigan sunday. I think we are stopping by cedar point to ride these things called rollarcoasters. I'll be back sunday august 7 for Brad Paisley at Crew Stadium. Anyone else going? Then i will see all your lovely faces on august 8th for open field! I'm staying in town till the 12th so anyone who wants to hang with foxy knoxy just hit me up! have a great week yall! love you guys!

hey everyone! so i just got back from an ammmazing concert :) and i got to meet the band that played! it was at the wexner and basically less than 20 people were there so it's going to be one of those things that when they get big i can be like yeah....i met them!

anyways this weekend my team got 2nd in our tournament! it was awesome and a good way to end the summer season. my arm didn't feel to great this weekend because of all the rain i think. but oh well.

also today i had an appointment with this message therapist that does medical restorative message therapy and i'm hoping it can fix everything wrong with my arm. but instead of just looking at my arm they look at my whole body because that effects everything. except when she was messaging me it felt more like torture because it hurt so bad. but afterwards i felt amazing. so i really hope it works :)

have a great week girls!

So today I got the joy of cleaning out the calf pins, o yes by myself. This involves using the skid loader and dumping it out every time I fill it up, well one while doing this I accidentally lifted the bucket to high proceeding to dump a good portion of the manure on top of me, it was wonderful. Other than that I have been doing good I played my last tournament this past weekend we got 9th out of 48 or so teams which isn't to shabby.

Hellllooo
Work seriously owns me. It is super annoying. I have time for nothing. Thankfully I am off Wednesday so I am taking advantage of it and going to the zoo! I hope everyone is having a wonderful July. I cannot believe it is August soon. The workouts are going well. Hard. But well. I hope to see you all soon!

hey girls!

so not much going on around here! this weekend just worked a lot and slept haha not much else! umm going back to work tonight though :( stinks but oh well just more money! haha lets see just got done doing the workout for today...it was a good one still sweating haha but yeah its time for supper so i better go! later!

Heyy everyone! So this weekend I was supposed to be up in Chicago for a tourney, but I ended up not being able to go. It turned out pretty good bc the entire tourney got rained out. But on Saturday I got to watch my nephew's first t-ball game and it was quite hilarious. However, they made it so that if the kids did happen to get out, they got to stay on the bases to run. My parents and I didn't agree with it (really? since when does everyone win) but they had fun which is what counts. My nephew even slid into a few bases, along with face planting once, but he was having a blast :) I hope to see everyone at open fields tonight!!!

Hey Guys !! So my team won our last tournament for the year !! It was so exciting but sad at the same time :/ Cant wait for work tomorrow in the hott sun , not ! hehe but I am excited to workout and then start Zumba with my mom on tuesday :) Have a good week everyone !

welppp back to reality. i just got back from hilton head late last night and i've already been busy non-stop since i got home. my family's moving this week and we just started packing today so we still have a lottt of work to do. i'm really mad i haven't been able to make it to an open field yet! i have to babysit during the week til 5, but i'm trying to see if their dad can get home earlier one day so that i can leave at like 3:30 to come. idk if this week is going to work yet though because my parents need all the help they can get with the move so it's hard to squeeze a 4 hour car ride in with all that going on. but anyways if i'm able to make it tomorrow i'll see you guys there!

Hi girls! Hope everyone is staying cool in the heat! I was at my sister's tourney this weekend. They did well through the pool play but then lost this morning. On a plus side, I got a lot of sun so I actually look a little tan haha. Anyway, hope to see you guys this week for our open field!

So this weekend was going to be my off weekend from tournaments but i ended up playing with the 23u Express team up in Toledo. It was definatly different but I learned a lot. The hotel we stayed at was awesome! My parents however have learned that they should never leave me alone in a hotel room with 2 awesome queen size beds and my computer because it all ends in me jumping up and down from one to the other with my music blaring. Oh ya, and Erin making fun of my computer's randomness at song selection =). Anyway, I have another big week coming up with workouts, practice, working as a camp counselor and getting ready for next weekends tournament.

hi everyone! so this weekend is my last tournament! today we did pretty good. i pitched 3 innings the first game but my arm was killing me the whole time for some reason. but when i went in in our last game my arm felt 100 times better! so thats good? idk it has a mind of its own. i also got to see liz today! and rachaels mom (since their sisters play on the same team...weird coincidence?). anyways i'm going to go to bed now since or first game tomorrow is at 8:30....ugh.

well my week has been fun with a suprise vistor staying all week. We went to the mountians which were so fun. workouts are still going good. track workouts arent good. I'm glad I'm a softball player! well I'm still doing my internship and having a blast with the patients. I'm coming to the scrimmage august 8th. I can't wait be on back on the field with ya'll!!. any who i hope everyone is having a great weekend. Love you guys!

Hello! Just got some of our stuff moved in to the fair! I'm so excited/nervous for this week. I hope that the calves cooperate! I miss all of you guys and can't wait to be back at school with you!

Today in this nasty heat my team has 3 games with a full roster of 9 players cosisting of 1 pitcher. Please pray for us :-)

So today I was reminded how much I really want to coach when I finish college.  We have a new vicar at our church (a vicar is someone who is still in Seminary school (in Gettysburg, PA) and takes a year to learn and preach at a church...kinda like student teaching for education majors).  Anyways, he has a wife and three daughters who absolutely love to play softball.  The 3 girls are in 2nd, 5th, and 9th grade and are in the same school system I was in.  We had dinner with them tonight and they wanted to know all about the travel ball and recreational leagues here in Birmingham.  I had all the information for them so I was able to point them out to the best recreational league for the two youngest girls and the travel ball teams for the oldest one.  Joanna, the oldest, really wanted to find a travel team, but because of her bigger family and her dad's new role at our church, she needed a team that would stay in Birmingham during the fall but would play a more competitive schedule in the summer.  After I talked to her about what she could do, she asked me if I would help her workout as much as possible before she tried out with teams.  I am really excited for this opportunity and to see her placed on a good team where she will be happy and excel during her playing time. =)  Hope you all have a great weekend!!

hi again...im pretty much getting home from work this morning and thought id better blog now or i will totally forget to later. so the day or night or whatever went swell...just really hot but other than that not much has happened since i last blogged haha but going to do a workout and run today hopefully around 1:30-2:00 then going to go work at the tavern from 4-9 but yeah that's pretty much my day. hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend! byeeeeeeeeee

Hello everyone,
My week has been good I have went to the pool all day yesterday and today, so I been pretty productive. However soon I wont have to go to a pool because they are starting to put it tomorrow!! The only problem is they start early in the morning and will wake me up because its right outside my window, but that okay since I mean I am getting a pool! I play at Berliner this weekend if anyone else is?! i hope to see you there.

hey ladies!! so this week has been hectic crazy well i should say i got switched to nights shift so i go into work at 8:30 pm and get home at 7:00 am so needless to say sleep schedule is a little wacky and workouts are harder to find time to get them done...but no worries i will! :) welp its time to eat supper/breakfast...only one more day of work this week haha yippy! :)

later!

ohh heyy everyone! so i don't know about anyone else but these track workouts are kicking my butt. Another thing kicking my butt is this summer class i'm taking! The professor looks like the kfc guy whatever his name is sanders or something, I have a hard time taking him seriously!!! The good news is the professor doesn't believe in test or quizzes!!!!! whooo :) The class starts in like 15 min so i should probably get going! I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Hey everyone! This week has been good. I feel like workouts are getting harder and harder but that's because I keep pushing myself harder. I ran a mile today at my old middle school track.It's the first time I've attempted to run it besides on a tredmill and I got it done within 8:41. For me, that is a decent time! I was kind of suprised. I'm going to start running each day and hopefully by the time school starts I've got it down to 7 something! It's soooo hott outside though, I'm about to go lay out and try to get some sun. It'll be relaxing (:

Hope everyone is doing good!
Cant wait to see you all (:

Heyy girls

so yesterday night me and my mom decided to go on a jog and oh wow was that a bad idea! wayy to hott for that but it was soo cute this older guy came outside with 2 classes of ice water for us and told us to walk home it was to hott out to be running it was so cute! but anyways hope everyone has a good day!

hello ladies! i still havent quite recovered from vacation and these workouts sure arent helping! this weekend though my whole family is going to my sisters soccer tournament but im staying since i have to work on friday but that means im sleeping in really late saturday and sunday since no one can wake me up except my kitten but hes pretty good at that. im hoping to go see the new harry potter movie at some point too i cant believe i put it off this long, hope everyone has a great week and we can get together on monday!!!

hello everyone :-) going to Cumberland Lake next week with no workout equipment around so this week I've doubled up on weights and will get my cardio done there some how. How have others been working out while on vacation?

Hi everyone!  So this week has been pretty good so far.  One of my best friends works at the Birmingham Zoo so I got in free as her "cousin" for the day =)  We had a great time seeing the animals and watching the trainer working with the lion.  One of our other friends who moved to Colorado is coming back to Bama for the weekend so we are all getting ready for her to get here!!!  Other than that, everything has been pretty normal.  Workouts are going great and still kick my butt =)  But I wouldn't have it any other way!

Hey ladies!! So Monday I was planning on going to dime a dog, but unfortunately it got rained out :( so to replace it, we ended up making our own hotdogs and getting coldstone afterwards lol. But the excitment for the week was when my family's pet snake (her name is Scoots and she's a 4 1/2 ft. albino cornsnake. she's awesome!!!!) escaped and was missing for about two days, but we ended up finding her in my mom's closet. She was so mad at us tho once we did find her because she wouldn't eat any of her mice lol. She's a bit of a diva :) But other than that, nothing new is going on besides reading, researching, working out, and working. And I agree with Kayla, go see Harry Potter if you haven't!

hey girls! I figured I would post on here before I leave. My flight leaves today around 5 for florida. I can't wait to be on the beach (: I will also becoming "one" with the beach when I get up to run on it in the morning (; I know a couple of other people are leaving for vacation soon too, so safe travels!

I know its been awhile since I've been on here and I'm sorry. My family and I have had a rough week. Two of our family members have passed away within a week of eachother. One those was my aunt who battled cancer for 1 and a half years. The other was a distant cousin who didn't make it out of surgery. But enough bad news. This past weekend was the National Studebaker Reunion that we have every 5 years where Studebakers from around the country come in for the weekend. It's actually really fun. We play games, have live music, and of course tons of food! One of the games we play is called the wheel barrel johnny race. You have to guess 30 pounds of sand, put it in your barrel and run through this course that includes a hill. My dad did it 10 years ago and lost by 2 seconds!! This chick right here won the girls race by 2 seconds! It was the hardest workout I have done all year!! You have no idea. The winner recieves a studebaker pocket watch which is a pretty big deal. My late grandpa collected them and then gave them to all of his grandchildren when he passed. So now I have two! Not to mention they are worth quite a lot of money.

My mom, megan and I had our first stainglass class last night and again tonight! It was a lot of fun! But so time consuming. Workouts are going good. I already did mine today cause I leave for work in like 30 minutes. Hope you all are having a good week!

helloo. i'm in hilton head this week and it's been a lot of fun so far! we spent all day sunday and monday at the beach and everyone got reallyy burnt. so today we all sat around inside and pretty much did nothing because we were afraid to go outside haha. but tomorrow we are going jet skiing so that should be funn! this week i took my week off from workouts and it has been veryyyy nice. i've still been doing stuff to keep me in shape though. i play tennis with my cousins every day and i never knew how much of a workout tennis can be. especially in 90+ degree weather.

well the workout today kicked my butt!! i did the 2 interval runs and i am now exhausted and my legs hurt. honestly i could only get through 1 and a half of them cuz my legs killed and my foot hurt too. but ill get around to doing the whole 2 eventually, ive got a few weeks to practice it :p haha...other than workouts things are going fine. work is work and thats about it. i am super excited though cuz i leave for vacation on friday morning :) it couldn't come at a better time!! well hope everyone is enjoying their last little bits of summer!

hello ladies!
I am so excited to leave for florida tomorrow! much needed vacation and relaxation time (: My 10u team had their last tournament this past weekend. While we did not make it far, they played the best I have ever seen them play. I also got stung by a wasp saturday and my cheek is the size of South America...still. So I am guessing besides being allergic to grass, trees, dust, and cats, I am now allergic to bees. I hope everyone is having a good tuesday. if you haven't yet, you should go see Harry Potter. and that is all! (:

hey guys! so i'm super bored...so i decided i should post on here. this weekend is my last summer ball tournament! Sunday we lost our first game...but oh well. for some reason my coach always puts me in with bases loaded. i mean it's not that big of a deal but i don't think he understands how difficult it is especially when you don't know the umpires strike zone.

anyways. today i think i'm going to get my hair cut and then dye it! also i won't be able to make it to mondays open field :( because i'm going to a concert :)!!!!!! i'm a little excited about it. and maybe a little obsessed with the band. but their from england! and i'm soooo excited!!

haha ok well i hope everyone has a great week! byyye!

Hey girls!
I just got done with a workout and man is it hot out! This past weekend I visited a friend in Cleveland and we went to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, an art museum, the zoo, the natural history museum, and the botanical garden. I actually really liked the art museum. It was huge, it was gorgeous and they had a whole room dedicated to armor, like what knights wore back in the day....awesome!! Yes a little nerdy but whatever haha. Anyway this weekend I'm going to Cincy to see my man beast it up!! I'm pretty excited our seats are right on the first base side so perfect!! For those of you who don't know, I'm slightly (and really it's only slightly) obsessed with Joey Votto. Anyway, I'll talk to you all later!

ohh heyy, so you all probably know that i was in Tennessee this weekend visiting knox!!! It was a really fun time :) Laying around by the pool & playing games was not a bad way to spend the weekend. I basically dominated in jackpot...knox didn't stand a chance!! However, i'm not the best at Marco polo! lol Did anyone watch the usa game I couldn't believe they lost!! Hope everyone has a great week!!

well i had a great weekend!!!. brooke paige and kirsti came down to visit me and it was great to see them! i played this weekend and pitched great. i didnt get to hit but oh well. win some loose some. internship is still going great as well. ive met alot of crazy characters but they are so funny. i cant wait to actually start my real job. workouts are moving along. ive finally got used to the soreness. well hope everyone has a great week!

well i think its probably time that i get back on here and blog again. life for this girl has been a bit crazy lately!! for anyone that didn't know paige, kirsti and i went to tennessee this weekend to surprise knox for her birthday. i can't believe no one slipped but we all kept it in and she was so surprised, it was awesome! had a good time spending some time with her and her family this weekend. got one more week of work and workouts ahead of me before the most needed vacation of my life!!! i leave on friday morning for indian river, michigan...which for any of u that don't know, this is my favorite place in the world!! its basically an escape from the world and i love it! it is much needed right now and im super excited :) just gotta get through workouts and work the next couple days and im good to go...hope everyone has a great week :) miss you all!!

Hello everyone. I got back yesterday from Jamboree and passed out. It was the most exhausting 4 days of my life, but also the best. I am writing a bit before I go to work. I hope I can come to one of the open fields I really miss everyone! Love you guys!
-Elyse

well this past week has been full of craziness. i had orientation on thursday and had a ton of fun, and then came home and had a 3 day tournament. the heat was nuts! i think i chugged like 3 bottles of water on average per game. as for workouts, today i finally get to get back into routine. i never thought i would see the day that the school would close the track though, apparently its too hot and they dont want anyone getting hurt. soooo that just means going to the Y now. hope everyone has a good week =)

hey guys! i just got back from florida last night well technically this morning because our plane was delayed for two hours! the trip was so fun we went parasailing and snorkeling and we got to see dolphins! now im back too the real world though and i have to head offto work after like 4 hours of sleep but oh well! hope everyone had a good weekend!

Heyy guys ! So i got back from florida, and went straight to games yesterday, it was really exhausting. But florida was awesomee and we won both games yesterday ! Today we lost our second game today tho :/ Next weeks our last tournament which is kinda depressing, but i can focus on work and workouts more ! Have a good week everyone !!

Heyy girls soo sorry I havent been on this week I had my wisdom teeth out and oh wow was it awful!! everything that could go wrong did! but its okay im recovering now and played 3 games today we won 2 and lost 1 not good enough to make it to pool play so my family is taking the boat out tomorrow first time if forever I will be outside hopefully to fix my wonderful tan lines!! well miss you all and cant wait to see you guys are we going to meet up on Monday!?

hey everyone. so i'm sitting in my hotel room up near cleveland getting ready to go to bed. my summer team played 4 games today....but the 4th didn't count however we were the only ones that had to play 4, go figure. we think it's because last year we got 2nd place so they are trying to make us lose. but really, they don't have to try too hard with the way my team is fielding haha. we had 2 wins and then lost 2 but it's better than our other tournaments. in one inning we had 6 outs...and the umpires are awful! one of our pitchers was arguing with them (which was basically her screaming) and all i could think of is what would coach say? lol. i pitched pretty good and my fielding was awesome. i've also picked up a lot of speed with my pitching so thats good. ok well i'm going to pass out now! byye!

hey girls! so nothing really exciting going on in my life...haha umm work and more work and then workouts...thats about it. I really have nothing else much to say except im sooo ready to be back to school...i realized how petty some of the girls are back at home and i just can't wait to get back to school...well good luck all who are playing this weekend! :)

My week is that same old same old nothing new here. I only have two more tournaments until the season is over, which is a little bitter sweet. I'm having no luck getting a job, they don't even know what they're missing. Well I hope everyone else's summer is still going great!!

Hi guys!! I am so excited for next year. Especially after orientation. It was soooo much fun. Wish I could have came to one of the open fields but I haven't been on this early enough to see when they are. So sorry! Hope I didn't miss much. I want to come to the next one though! Workouts are still going good and this weekend we are in GAPPS. And qe are staying in a hotel by Polaris mall and I'm in heaven (: 

Anyway, this weekend is my last tournament with my team because we are not going to nationals. I'm kind of upset about it. Growing up is starting to scare me! See you all sooon (: 

ladiessssss,

Today has been a lazy day after last night. um best night of my life. If anyone has ever been to a midnight premiere of harry potter obviously you have seen how crazy people dress up but omg last night was just amazing! There were people dressed in the most aweome costumes. I saw a woman who had the actual deathly hallows tattooted to her arm..like a real tattoo. Someone was dressed as a house elf and some was dress as Luna and they looked so perfect! omg I cannot stop talking about it was so awesome. I know I am obsessed... anyways I am coaching my 10U team all weekend in the new albany tournament, hopefully we do well! good luck to everyone in gapps this weekend!

Okay, being sick sucks but being ill in the summer is so much worse.  I haven't worked out much this week because of it, trying to get some strength built up for my tournament this weekend.  Three games today and I barley feel like I can get out of bed. Oh my complaining is through. Good Luck to all those playing this weekend. 

hii! so i leave for hilton head tomorrow at 8am and i haven't even begun packing yet. i'm planning on staying up as late as i can though so i can sleep all day in the car. i'm going with my aunts and uncles and all of my cousins. we rent a house on the beach and all stay in it so it gets crazy with all of the younger kids running around but it's a lot of fun! my brother was home this week so it has been nice getting to spend time with him. we have played tennis almost every night this week then i make him do the workouts with me after. well i think i'm going to go start packing!

.

So, I am absolutely stoked about seeing the Harry Potter movie!  My group has to go super early though because we have a big group and the Rave here has 'banned' saving seats at midnight premieres...oh well...I am sure my friends and I will come up with plenty to do in the meantime }:)!!  Everything has been going awesome here but the thunderstorms are really beginning to annoy me...and yes Brooke...even though you love storms, I think some of these would set you on edge! haha  Hope all is going well with everyone and that you all had a great time at open fields and orientation for the freshman who went!

I'm sooo pumped to go see HARRY POTTER!!!!!!! I've been looking forward to it all day, and my boss even told me to come in late tomorrow since it's going to be a long night lol. If anyone is seeing it at the Dublin AMC, let me know! but other than that, nothing too exciting has been going on, just work and workouts. Hope everyone is doing well! :)

hey girls!

I think I finally have the blog down! I was blogging to myself apparently. I am actually in the Otterbein library on my lunch from CPR class. it's so much fun....yeah. The weather is super nice today so I am definetly going to be doing some running outside today :D and umm hello HARRY POTTER DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2!! tonight!! so excited! if anyone is seeing this at easton..I will be there! well hope everyone is doing well!

Kayla

ohh heyy everyone. So today i did something i shouldn't have...i spent money on myself! I went to old navy and bought shorts and a tank top! $33 down the drain, oh well i'm gonna just tell myself i really needed them so i can justify it when my mom asks! lol WHO ELSE IS EXCITED ABOUT HARRY POTTER??? KAYLA WOODWARD I KNOW YOU ARE!!! I wish i could go see the movie tonight at midnight but between all my friends works schedules we thought it would be better to see it tomorrow night!! i'm just happy that i'm going to see it! I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Hi girlss! I'm so sorry I was unable to make it last night :( I really wanted to come but I had to teach babies how to blow bubbles in the water (swimming lessons). I hope you all had fun! Workouts have been going swell. It's nice to finally feel like I am in some sort of shape again!!

hey guys i just got off work,im sorry i missed the scrimmage i miss all of your tons! but on the bright side i leave for florida tomorrow!!! im so excited! hopefully ill get an even better tan while im down there and not get eaten by a shark before shark week cause ill be disappointed! hope everyone has a fantastic rest of their week and weekend!

so today has been super crazy for me and needless to say i can't wait to go home. i am currently still at work and will be until we close at 10 and have been here since about 8:10 this morning. I worked 12 hours today and lifted in between my shifts. the first part was soccer sports camp and i got put with 40 1st and 2nd graders...basically they were a handful and being outside and on ur feet all day stinks...now i am at the front desk which isn't as bad but im exhausted. that makes for 2 days in a row because yesterday after my 8 hours of working both jobs i did the track workout and that kicked my booty too. i only made one of the half miles in 3:15 but i did better than last week because i got the 2nd one in like 3:20 the 3rd one in 3:24 and the last one in 3:30. so still improvement and i was extremely happy with that. well hopefully my 9 hour shift tomorrow won't kill me too haha. have a lovely day and im sorry for not being able to be at the scrimmage tonight. miss you all!!

Hello everyone. Vacation was wonderful and the weather was fantastic. But work has been very busy and didn't act like I ever left. But just so all of you know I get to go to JAMBOREE IN THE HILLS tomorrow. I will make sure to enjoy it for everyone :) Workouts have well.. not really been nice to me haha Slightly sore since I took a week off for vacation. Hopefully I will get a chance to make it down to an open field if work doesn't keep owning me. Miss all of you classy ladies :)
-Elyse

hey guys! so workouts have been going good...although i'm a little sore today. But all of my soreness from over the weekend from pitching went away so that's good. This weekend we have a tournament up in cortland and only 5 teams are there...and i'm hoping it's not like last years where they made us play 7 innings each game. 7 innings for 4 games in one day is a bit much. but this year we have more pitchers should it should be a little better then last year. I'm planning on going to the open field today and i can't wait to see everyone :)

hey everyone!!

sooo i got off work early today and now i can make it to the open hitting!! yaaaaaay! im super excited to see everyone agian! aaahhh! okay just thought id let everyone...but did my workout today and it went well. so yeah alright see ya all tonight!

Well workouts have been going good! I did mine this morning before work which isn't good when I work a double but I got off early so it wasn't too bad! But I am going to cedar point tomorrow which I am so excited about! I've only been there once and that was about 6 years ago. I also got my first letter back today from my ROX girl. It took her awhile but I was excited to hear from her! Well I hope everyone has a great rest of the week!!

So funny story to tell all of you, this past weekend my travel team played at Stingrays, as many people did. The parking is fairly far away and so they have golf carts that you can ride up to the fields, which there happen to be one there when I got out of my car, so of course I decided that I would just take it. As I am enjoying my ride up to the fields guess who I see?? O yes both of our coaches, I waved at them but then Coach told me to get off of the golf cart and walk up to the fields, I didn't know what to do I was simply caught in action.

Weird, yet awesome! =)

So today took some WEIRD turns!  After moaning to myself about having to wake up at 4 almost every morning of the week, my general manager presented me with my 1 year pin for having worked at Panera for a year and told me he thought I was one of the best openers he ever had...MAN does time fly by and MAN was I glad to hear what he had to say!!  Then, I found out one of the radio stations was coming to Panera, while I was working, to host a raffle for the Rihanna concert tonight in Birmingham.  2 people would win 2 tickets each.  Well...I am not a huge fan of her...but I decided to enter anyways just for the heck of it...wouldn't it be...I WON THE TICKETS!! haha  I felt really bad for a lot of the people though, because a lot of them had come from all over Alabama to win those tickets or buy them and it was me and another girl who worked in the shopping area who won them...oops!! But I still wasn't interested in going, so I sold them to two coworkers for $20 each =)  YAY!  I can save the money for when I visit my best friend up in Nashville later in the month.  Other than that, workouts have been going really well.  There are tough spots where it is hard to bring myself to give it all I have, but then I think about how we are gonna dominate next season and that helps me to push myself even harder over those bumps.  Well, I gotta get back to reading the Canterbury Tales for my online class.  Have an awesome week everyone and stay safe from those storms!!

NO OPEN FIELDS TONIGHT, MOVED TO WED

Hey ladies, like the header says, there's not going to be any open fields tonight due to the weather. We didn't want anyone to have to drive all the way here, and then get rained out. However, we are moving the open field to THIS WEDNESDAY JULY 13 from 6-8pm. Hopefully the weather cooperates a bit more than it did today. IF you could let me know if you'll be there or not that would be great! Either post on here, text me, or write it in the fb message. I hope every stays safe and the storm stays away from everyone else! (I've already had to rewrite this due to the lighting taking out our power here at work). Thanks ladies!!! :)

oh heyyy

so workouts are still kicking my booty as usual. I start my internship today which I'm super excited about. This might be the job for me. I was suppose to have a lesson this morning but the mom overslept so it got cancelled. The student has never pitched before so I was ready to show her what its about. Coach might be recruiting her some day haha. My birthday is tomorrow. Yipee!! I just learned that I'm playing atleast 7 games this weekend, possibly 10 if we win it all. Thank goodness we have 4 pitchers haha. Well hope everyone has a great week! Tootles!

Hi guys! I'm pretty excited about going to open field tonight! My life is pretty boring right now so I don't really have much to say. I'm kinda jealous of everyone who is playing in tourneys right now though haha. Anywho one small blip of excitement coming up is the Harry Potter movie! One of my friends from home is driving over to Columbus to come watch it on a big screen haha, we have movie theatres they are just not quite as expansive as the ones here in Columbus. Then we are going to visit another friend this weekend in Akron so hopefully that's fun ha. Ok well hope to see most of you tonight!

ohh heyy so nothing in my life has really changed! the most exciting thing that has happened to me the past couple days is I went to a yard sale and bought 6 highlighter sharpies for 50 cents...talk about a steal & a lame life! hahaha But I don't have to work tomorrow so i'll be at the scrimmage see who ever is coming there!!! have a great week everyone!

hey guyss! this weekend has been nice having a break from softball. my family has been super busy with the move so i spent most of the weekend just helping out with the new house and stuff. I leave for Hilton Head on friday so i'm pretty pumped for thatt! we go with all of my cousins and aunts and uncles and all stay in a house together on the beach so it gets really crazy but it's a lot of fun too. Tomorrow I have to babysit all day but then hopefully i'm going to come to the open field thing but i have to babysit til 4 and it's 2 hours away so it's going to be pushing it. Well maybe i'll see you all tomorrow!

So games went ok this weekend. It was kind of nice just playing for fun, since the tournament got messed up because of the rain ! I leave for florida in less than 24 hours , so pumped ! Have a good week every one !

Well i feel like its been awhile since i have posted on here...this is a post for last week cuz i have been too busy to post anything the past couple days. But i played in my last tournament of the summer yesterday and today. things went pretty well, went 2-2 on sat, needless to say i was tired after all 4 games even though i didn't play in all of them. Then today we played 2 games and won the tourney which was nice. i had a pretty decent weekend when i was in so i can't be too upset bout that. all i do have to say about this weekend is that my coach really pisses me off because he is like in love with any D1 player that we have and they always get to play over other ppl whether they are better or not. can i just say, that just cuz i didn't go D1 doesn't mean i can't play at their level. sorry i am going on a rant here but it really makes me angry. some girls who have enough talent to play at bigger schools don't for other reasons, but don't be dissing on my D3 school cuz we get D1 experiences at the D3 level, we just play cuz we love it, not for money. Ok my rant is over now, he just really makes me angry sometimes. anyway hope everyone had a good weekend and hope to see as many of u as possible tomorrow :)

hey guys! so this weekend i had a tournament at pickerington north. my team didn't do to good on saturday. we lost 2 games and then tied another :( but i only pitched an inning that day and i did really good. i had two strike outs and a ground out. then sunday we played a lot better however we still lost, but we actually scored! and we prob lost to the tournament winners. but one of our pitchers started the first inning and they scored 6 runs off her then i went in in the 2nd inning. again i pitched really good and by the 5th inning my arm my def feeling it since i haven't pitched that much in a while. but anyways basically none of my pitches were working this weekend and all i had was my fastball although today i had a little more movement pitches. but i was really surprised by how effective my fastball is.

anyways, i will be at our practice tomorrow and i hope to see everyone there :)

Hi

Hi everyone =)  So this week has been super hectic with work, workouts, and and my online class...so needless to say, I am writing this while lounging in my bed, glad to be relaxing for once! haha  This week is going to be crazy too but I am so looking forward to Thursday night with the midnight premiere of Harry Potter!!  I am so jealous of ya'll though because Alabama is on central time which means you will start the movie a whole hour earlier than me! haha  Can't wait!!!

"Somewhere behind the athlete you've become and the hours of practice and the coaches who have pushed you is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back. Play for her."

hey everybody!!! so got my workout in this week after getting 3 shots in my arms that killed (and left some major bruises) let's just say that the last thing you want ur coach to do after u get to third is to say good job by smacking u right in the shoulder. anyway we played in troy today and did pretty well. fingers crossed we play well enough to place

crazyy week

hey yall, i hope all is well. I got a line drive hit back at me last weekend and it hit my wrist on my pitching hand so I was freakin out that it was broken. Thank goodness nothing is wrong just a severe deep tissue bruise. Ive had pitching lessons to give all week. Some of these girls drive me insane but most of them are hard workers and are eager to learn which I'm happy to help. My birthday is next tuesday. So happy to be turning 19 finally! I start my cardiac rehablitation internship next week which I'm super excited for. I'm off this weekend because of my wrist so I don't injury it anymore than it is. I miss everyone and i can't wait to make that 6 hour drive back up to good ol' ohio ;)

Hey hey! Today we were supposed to play 3 games starting at 3 but they got delayed! Now we only play one at 9pm tonight. Hope everyone has a great weekend :)

Hey , so I think my workout book is maybe missing a page :-/ Can someone explain to me what to do in the T-Drill ( I have the set up but not what to do in it ) and what the wheel of death is ?

Summmer !

hey everyone! hope your all having a good week, im taking the girls im babysitting glow putting today so that should be fun, i had to do my track workout on a treadmill because running on that surface really tears up my back but i was still no where near the 3:30 mark, its really hard! workouts have been going pretty well though i think im starting to get past the point of soreness just extreme exhaustion! good luck to everyone this weekend!

Hey! So I've realized that my family's computer at home won't post anything I write so I've been forced to do this while at work lol. But it's been nice (the air conditioning is awesome!). I'm just sending out test scores to students and putting in requistions for purchase orders (pretty much I'm just documenting how much money my boss thinks is going to be spent on specific purchases to vendors). Let's just say that I've documented about the same amount of money that would be needed to buy a nice house (at least in today's economy lol). But my 16u girls are at Berliner this weekend so I'll try to swing by the stingray tourney to see everyone!
ps.what are everyone's game times there?

hey guys. so i just got done reading the second book in this series i'm working on and i decided i should post something on here at 2 in the morning :) everything's going good. i have a tournament this weekend which should be fun, hopefully i can pitch more. tomorrow i have a pitching lesson and i've been getting through the workouts lol. unfortunately i've yet to start my metal book but i have a month and a half left so i'm prob just going to wait till the last minute to do it as usual. i hope everyone's having a good week!

Hello again everyone!!
The same old same old thing with me, just working and doing those awesome workouts. I actually didn't get to see any fire works this year. :( Today I worked 8 hours, which okay doesn't sound like alot, but if you all understood what a long 8 hours it is when all your doing is unloading wagon after wagon of straw.

Heyy girls

soo today I decided to go rollerblading for miles with my cousin and mom and wahoooo im feeling it now. Im also sad to say I cant go to Monday's scrimmage because im getting my wisdom teeth taken out :( I will definitely be at the next one! miss you all! good luck with the workouts!

So I got up to go to work this morning and walked in the door and my manager was like we are dead, you can go home & he handed me a paycheck!!! love that guy! lol So yesterday after work i decided to do that track workout outside around 4 o clock & i'm not sure if it was the running or heat that killed me! Don't worry erin i was no where near the 3min and 30 sec mark if that makes you feel any better!! lol Brooke & I did the lifting for today and friday and let's just say my body doesn't really like me right now! Does anyone else find it hard to do reverse forearm curls? My left hand is like not coordinated or something because i have to drop major weight in order to do them!! brooke laughs at me every single time!!! It looks funny i feel like i should post a video on here to show you guys how funny it looks!!! haha alright well that's all i got. hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

hello everyone!

Well I just got off work! I was suppose to work until close but they let me off early! I love it when that happens! But I did my workout this morning and they are going good! Nothing else has really been happening other than working out and work! But me, my mom and Megan are going to start a stainglass class soon! I am soooo excited! It should be pretty fun! I've never done stainglass so we will see how it goes. (Elyse- I'll try to make something cool for our room!) but I hope you all had a good fourth! and good luck to everybody playing this weekend! I miss playing summer ball! :(

Calli

Yep...so I may have forgot to post last week but it happens. Not much has been going on really, still working out and looking for a job. I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!!

hey guys sorry i havent been on for a while i was really busy this weekend as im sure everyone was! ive also been busy with babysitting and everything. this saturday im working a tournament at my high school from 7:30 in the morning to 8:30 at night! at least ill be making a lot of money with no taxes! hope everyone is doing well!

hey guys! last weekend my team played in massillon which is like 10 minutes from my house so that was nice. we did pretty well in the pool play games but then we lost like 2 games before the championship on Sunday. this weekend my team plays in the Stingrays tourny but I'm not playing because if you already played a year of college ball you can't play. i'm looking forward to having the weekend off for once. my family's getting ready to move :( so i'm going to be busy getting ready for that. we're having a garage sale this weekend and then we're moving either next week or the week after. right now i'm about to do the workout for today then i have practice later tonight. good luck to everyone playing this weekend!

I think I finally got this working!

Hello everyone! I'm Sara and I'm from Cincinnati, OH. I hope I am finally doing this blog posting right. Call me a freshman, I'll take it (; It has taken me forever to understand what I needed to do, but thanks to Kristi King and Erin Carpenter, I think I've gotten it fixed. I had a great 4th of July weekend. My team played in Indy and we did really good (: Then, we got to go to see fireworks so that was fun. Workouts have been kicking my butt of course, but it makes me feel good when I'm done. I'm so nervous for this coming year but very excited. This weekend, my team is in Stingrays. Anyone else in Stingrays? Let me know! (:

Anyways, hope everyone's summer is going great. Cant wait to meet all of you.

Brooke Albright...I don't know whether to say congrats on the times or to hush! haha  My times for the half mile were ok but not where I wanted them to be...so...there is something I need to work on =)  Other than that, I love the sprints and the weightlifting we have been doing!  I have a new manager now who has a young daughter interested in playing travel ball.  Needless to say for those who know me, I jumped right in to help! haha  She plays 2nd, shortstop, and centerfield and seems to be super fast.  Hopefully, my connections are still good and I can get her in touch with several of the teams in her age group for Fall tryouts =)  Hope you all are having an awesome week!

can i just say track workouts for conditioning, really??...i picked softball over track for a reason!! hahaha but they will come back and help later on! i must say that i am quite proud of myself though cuz i got all my half miles done in the 3:30 time limit!! the first one i did in 3:11 and the other ones were all between 3:28-3:30. i must be in better shape then i thought i was :) other than workouts i have just been working...boo! guess u gotta pay the bills somehow haha. i am really pumped for this weekend though cuz i get to play again!! :) it is my last tourney for the summer which is sad but i am excited to get on the field again. hope everyone has a great week and we see more of u at the scrimmage thing on monday :)

Heyy!!! So this week hasn't been the best with my muffler completely falling off my car while sitting at a traffic light and my co-worker slacking off and having me correct his errors, but it's still early in the week so it has to get better lol. But workouts are going well, and I'm not completely dying while I run so I consider it a success!! This weekend was a little crazy running back and forth between Marysville and West Liberty, but I did get some time to lay out by the pool and attempt to get some color in my skin (it didn't work, I'm still very white). Hope everyone else's 4th of July went well!!!

Hey girls!!! so i finally got this thing to work after not having internet for over a week and being in Florida (big thanks to Erin and Casey for helping me). So ya like I said I was in Florida up until last Friday so gettingmy workouts in was a pain but trust me I found stuff to do like running on the beach and taking my glove and a ball with me so my dad could run some drills with me. Funny thing about the glove, I almost forgot it down there. Anyway, my team had a tournament in West Liberty this past weekend and we did ok I guess. This weekend though we play in Troy...As for my workouts, yesterday after the parade, I got my butt up to the track and then today went to the Y to do some lifting. So that's pretty much my past few days in a nut shell. Hope everyone is having a great summer!!!

Lifting is going well. Yesterday my mom, brother and I ran a 5k for the 4th of July. It was actually pretty fun. I can't stop laughing at all of the old men in their super short shorts. I didn't place in the top 2 but I was fairly happy with my time for not being a cross country runner. I have been so busy working at the pool and getting my calves ready for the fair in 3 weeks... can't wait!!

Heyy girls! So this weekend I was in a tournament that was kinda local in Toledo and we won it! it was exciting and lots of fun! I hope everyone had a great 4th my family took our boats out to the river and it was lots of funn! I also went to the gym this morning and did my conditioning and the lifting from yesterday so now im back to being sore and tired! well hope everyone has a great dayy miss you all!!!!

Beat It

Hope everyone had a great holiday!  Workouts have already paid off.  This weekend I beat out a hard hit grounder to short.  I am usually too slow.  I don't think I've ever beat the throw before. 

Hi everyone, I have been so busy with everything. But I got to go boating yesterday and it was my first time tubing, it was awesome I had one major wipeout, did a backflip and face plant into the water!! haha Well tonight i'm going to the fireworks im so excited!! Happy fourth everyone

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!! YAY OUR INDEPENDENCE!

Hi all!  So this week at work has been absolutely exhausting.  With the holidays coming up, we have had many catering orders and a lot of people coming in to buy humongous bagel orders, pastry orders, and such..ugh!  To top it off...we hired a night baker last month who still has no idea what he is doing and we just took on a new assistant manager who didn't know what he signed up for when he took the job at the busiest Panera in Alabama...great!  So I have had to not only open the store every day this week except Wednesday, but I have also had to take the lead in making sure the cafe has been sound while the new manager learns his position.  Good thing is that we have a really good staff and the customers have been politer this week than they normally are...thank goodness for holidays and cheeriness in the air!!  Anyways, hopefully I will be heading to Nashville over the 4th or to a baseball game...I am dying for a good ole American ball game and some peanuts and cracker jacks ; )
