Snow Storm

Wow, I definently live up in the high country. While I was home we had a really bad storm. It is Saturday the 29th and I am stuck in Leadville Colorado because Freemont Pass is in no condition to drive on. Over the last 24 hours here at the house we have got atleast 9 inches of snow, and yes it is still snowing. Hopefully I will be able to go home tomorrow. But wont be able to leave for Durango until Monday morning because Sunday at my house is supposed to be a HUGE storm!! Wish me Luck!!

Post Baby Shower

After going home this weekend I did not want to ever come back to DURANGO!! I love being at home, seeing my family, and my friends. Saturday was anitas baby shower and it went amazing, she recieved a lot of gifts, and we had a great turn out. I also got to spend some time with her boyfirned which was good because I did not really know him. Also I got to see my family which was really good. I miss my mom so much, she is so fun to be around, I cant wait to go home this weekend for a whole week and be with family and friends again!!

Its A Boy!!

Im so exited!! My best friend is going to have a baby, a little boy and he is due December 15, and I am going home for her baby shower. I am so excited, I have not seen her very much, and when I left home she didn't have much of a belly. But now she tells me that she does!! I have never been around anyone pregnant, and have never seen a new born baby so this experience is very new, yet very exciting. For her baby shower I bought her a Car Seat, Stroller, and Tons of Clothes and Blankets for the baby. Another plus is Anitas sister ANGIE is coming and I have not seen her since Graduation!! YEEEE!!!

Lady Skyhawks

The Lasy Skyhawks are a team to put your money on, they are dominating their opponets so far. So far they have only played two teams, but took complete control of both games. Their first opponent was Utah Valley State where the girls took a win of 82-53. In there second game they did not let up at all, they dominated Northern Arizona University 71-47. It is obvious that last years end of the season struggles are not taking a tole on the team this season.

Disney Tip Off Classic Results

While the mens team was in California they held their standards in two of the three games. The Skyhawks took a win against Humboldt State at 91-86. They also conquered Alaska-Anchorage with 66-62, but fell to Southwest Minnesota State outscoring them in the last 12 minutes with a 33-18 run, the final score was 65-79. In this game Ryan Yates had incredible numbers with eighteen points, seven assists and six rebounds.

Our new president is Barach Obama... wow. I am glad that my generation has made history by electing our first black president. Hopefully Obama is sucessful with everything he has talked about doing, and he is successfull in his presidency.

This weekend the boys basetball team is in Aneheim California for the Disney Tip Off Classic. While in California they will play three games with opponets including, Humboldt State College, Alaska-Anchorage, and Southwest Minnesota State. The Basketball boys are defending RMAC champions, so this trip and pre season tournament is the perfect warm up to another successfull season.

Voting

Ah... The Presidential election. Well I did not vote today for many small reasons, but two main ones. I was raised republican, that no matter who the cantidate is you vote repuublican. So when I had thought about voting I just knew I would vote McCain. When I came to Fort Lewis I was told the rich people vote republican and Middle and lower class vote democrat, I had never heard of this before ever. I kind of took it to heart when right after Iheard that I was walking to class and somone had wrote on the side walk feed the poor eat the rich. I had never in my life felt like an outcast because my family has money. With this event happening I chose not to vote, beins how this is all I knew about either cantidate I could not vote based on being rich or poor. Once the election went on and I became more educated about the cantidates I would have voted for McCain. But I was not registered and I did not vote.
