Iowa was…

Iowa was quite the experience. I told you a little bit about it in my earlier entries. But I want to take this time to thank those who made the trip to Iowa.

First and foremost: my family. My Grandma and Uncle made it to EVERY SINGLE GAME this year (and for the past 4 years). They are just as much of this team as the rest of us. They were there to lift me up when we lost and there to praise me when we won. They’re truly our team’s number one fans.

My CRAZY FAMILY decided to drive to 10 hour trek to Iowa, watch my last game EVER, then get back into the car and drive back home. Talk about dedication and love. They brought a dry erase board that they wrote on during the entire game. They asked me to prom, the felt “THE BREEZE” (Breezy), they joked, laughed, and screamed for me. It was a surprise and pleasure to have them there to experience that with me.

Mary Ann and John Morse: thank you the two of you. I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as the team did! It was an awesome experience!! I’m glad the two of you could make the journey with us. Here are some pictures they took!

IOWA BOUND BABY!!

For the past 3 years I have enjoyed Thanksgiving GUILT FREE. I ate as much as I wanted and enjoyed every single bite (probably because I was eating my sorrows away). Each year, right before Thanksgiving, we played in the opening round of nationals…and lost! Therefore, it made Thanksgiving break my week of depression and eating just about everything in sight. This year, we won! We FINALLY get to take that trip to IOWA.

With that being said, this week’s festivities and FEASTS were SUPPOSED to be off limits. But come on, how can I turn down a chocolate chip cookie with an Oreo in the middle?

Or how about a mini pecan sweet tart thingy? And all the mashed potatoes, turkey, rolls, green beans, etc. I tried to watch what I ate, but MY GRANDMA CAN COOK! Let’s just not tell Coach Brown!!

Okay, on a serious note. IOWA BOUND!! And it feels too good to be true.

It’s not about just making a National appearance. It’s about going to Iowa and STICKIN’ it to anyone who is on the other side of the net. We’ve got a good chance of making some noise.
