My Soccer Team Makes Me Smile :)

So I had a soccer game today in Logan, and we won! I am so happy but also really tired. I played the whole game, which I like because I like starting and I like finishing. Basically, I only need a break in the middle, and we call that halftime. Overall it went pretty well. It was our first win of the season, we got a shutout 3-0. One goal was good timing, the other was a penalty kick, and the last was a rebound. Julia from the blog Just Julia scored the first two, Caitlin from The Li'l Bro Blog scored that last one. It was really great. But that isn't the reason my team makes me smile, because that was our first win of the season. We have had four games total. You can check out our stats here. Be warned, we have been sucking so far, we are last place. I don;t have a picture of our current team, so here is one of our team last year:

Most of us are looking at a different camera, but your get the jist. 

The real reason my team is so great is because we are basically just awesome people. Everyone on the team is funny and we get along really well. Our coach says we are a team of boys, because apparently we act like them. I always see stuff on Pinterest and iFunny about how girls compliment each other and don't mean it and guys insult each other and don't mean it. We are more like the second one, which is why we work so well together. Nobody gets easily offended, there is no drama, and we aren't afraid to push each other around. Which translates well to the game, because we play extra aggressively against the girls we don't know. As Lindsay from the blog Living Life as Lindsay says, yellow is our favorite color! Getting a yellow card is like getting a gold metal. As long as it's a good one. If someone hurts one of our girls, we will get back at them, and if that results in a yellow card than that is the best kind. If it's just tapping someone and they flop, it's still pretty good, just not as rewarding. On that note, I bid you ado and remember to smile, smile, smile :)

My Friends make Me Smile :)

I obviously can't talk about every single one of my friends, so I will most likely eventually be coming out with a part two or three on this particular topic. But for now, I want to talk about a friend who has been asking for a while to be on my blog, and that is (drumroll please...) Katherine! Here is a link to her blog, Sweet Temptations. For a while now, Katherine and I have been working on a Spanish project with our group. We are doing the tango, and what do you know-Katherine and I are doing it together. Maybe I'll show you a picture later, but I don't really have one now...but here is an awesome picture of Katherine and I just regularly (sort of):

I am on the left, she is on the right.

Ah yes, so flattering. Haha I am totally kidding, it really showcases her pointy nose and my awkward neck-chin mutation. This is definitely one of our best pictures though, I mean, just look at our faces! Can you say photogenic? 

So anyways, I'm not sure if you can see it in this picture, but Katherine has a small scar above her eye. Yeah, I gave that to her. Don't worry, it was when I was younger. I guess I had a bit of a temper as a child. Poor Katherine, hardly something to do to her after her dad saved my life. That's right, her dad saved my life and what did I do? I scratched her in the eyelid. Look out everyone, friend of the year right here! Oh yeah, back to how my life was saved. I don't really remember much of it, only what I've heard from Katherine. Apparently, I was with her and her dad when this dog jumped at me out of nowhere! It started to bite my cheek, but before any permanent damage was done, her amazing incredible life-saving father pulled us apart. Now I clearly remember this-when I went home that day I told my mom very clearly "You should have seen the other guy". Ok, I'm absolutely sure that didn't happen. But how cool would that be? 

So overall, Katherine has a pointy nose and a scarred eyelid and I have a neck-chin mutation and a boss childhood. Sort of. Maybe part of that is true, or at least I think so. Until my next post, keep on smiling! :)

Other Blogs Make Me Smile :)

I came across a few awesome blogs on my quest for the perfect topic. After my long search, I decided that the most fun and entertaining blogs to read were the ones about things people liked and hated. Being me, I figured that I would rather write about things I like. So, here I am with my first post, about other blogs. Because that is the first thing that makes me smile, just reading about other people's experiences.

The first blog I saw was called Let's Overthink This. This was also my favorite blog, mostly because of the title and tagline. The tagline is a quote, "In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you" -Leo Tolstoy. I love this quote because it makes me think about all of the things that we miss because we are looking at or doing something else. Don't you hate how a friend or family member will interrupt you and say "Oh, wow, you just missed the coolest thing!" It may not show on the outside, but I am always wondering just how cool was the thing that I missed or how many inside jokes I would be missing out on because I didn't see it. But, enough on that, the point is that this blog made me smile.

After a lot more searching, I found another blog that fit my topic. It is called Holiday Matinee, and is by Dave. My favorite part about this blog are the pictures. All of their posts have a picture that perfectly fit their topic, or at least all of the ones I have seen. I hope that I can find cool pictures to put into my blog posts, but that might start next time. It is a process, blogging, and I just hope I can get up to speed on it!

The last blog I found was called Tiny Buddha. The author, Lori Deschene, perfectly captured what I want my blog to be about in one of her posts. She wrote about 50 things to love about life that are free. All of my blog posts may not necessarily be about free things, but they will be about things I love. She talks about family, friends, and just all around great stuff. All of this stuff will be what my blog is about, because the things that I love are so important to me and because they are fun to talk about. So, now I proudly present to you my blog: Thing That Make Me Smile :)
