Freezin' for a Reason

Last weekend Trav put a team together for the Polar Plunge. He asked for donations and then jumped into this icy cold pond for the Special Olympics! I was really proud of him for wanting to do this, but I wasn't about to jump in. My hair would have turned into an ice cube and wouldn't have ever dried. Ok, so I'm being a bit dramatic. But the water was a whopping 35 degrees. Here are some pictures an a movie of our exciting Saturday!

What Travis was lucky enough to jump into!


After he came out of the water I was surprised when we hung out for about 20 minutes. There was a campfire and hot chocolate and lots of people so it was fun to stay out, I just thought he'd be freezing his buns off!



The other athletic trainers that were brave enough to jump in




So here's the movie I made of Travis jumping in. I show my support by cheering on the plungers, not by jumping in myself!

Just another regular day at SUU.....

Tonight was Travis' first game as the Athletic Trainer for the boys basketball team. It started out very slow and boring sitting by myself watching 2 basketball games, until...... da da da da! Kyle Kover walked into our humble gym to watch his brother on the opposing team! I scrounged up enough courage to go take my picture with him (with my friend Erin) during half time. After the game Korver went into the tunnel where Travis was with the team. Travis was able to get his pic with him! What I thought was going to be a boring regular basketball game turned out to be very eventful and worth it!

We really are alive....

I am so awful at blogging. Probably because nothing too exciting ever happens to us. But that is ok! So we are into a new semester, which is my last semester! Woot woo! We are both super busy with school, work, and our callings. Travis was put with the basketball teams for athletic training so he is very excited about that. Work is going really well for me. I am going to a Regional NODAC Conference (National Orientation Directions Association) in February in Colorado. I also get to go to Snow College to help recruit students to come to SUU in February! Since I last posted Travis has turned 24 and I am 22! For my birthday Trav's parents came and took us out to dinner, and my best friend Leslie also came and hung out with me for the weekend! It was such a blast to just be able to hang out and not be rushed to do anything. Other than that not much is going on here in Cedar. Just can't wait for the next few months to go by, then hopefully I will have a realy job!

Here is an old picture from Halloween because nobody likes to look at blogs if there are no pictures. Even if they are old.....

My First and Last

Last weekend Travis and I went to Fabulous Las Vegas with our friends Marc and Marcee. Since I have been of age for almost a year now, I tried my luck at the penny slot machines. I didn't do so well. I did make 20 cents at some point, but then lost a whole dollar to the casino. It was exhilarating though to finally be able to gamble, but it probably just won't happen again. Other than gambling we walked the strip (duh), shopped, ate way too much food, and went to a show. The show was called American Superstars where I met the amazing Michael Jackson! Ok ok, it obviously wasn't him but it was still cool. I wanted to get my picture with this superstar, but you had to pay money. I was so mad because it didn't cost to meet the other superstars, but of course it costs to meet the Michael wanna-be. I tried to sneak in a pic but then the security guard got mad at me and ushered me away. All in all, this was a fun quick trip!

The Penny Slots in the Stratosphere Casino. What a bust.

Trying to sneak a picture with Michael. His face and dance moves looked alot like Michael, but he was much to chubby and his voice was way too deep.

In front of the Bellagio right before the watershow.

We were afraid we were going to fall off the top of the stratosphere! The view on top was so amazing, and the rides looked so freaky I am much too chicked to ever go on them. Right behind us is the strip.

Fabulous Las Vegas!!

My Brother's Music Video!

So my brother just made a music video, and you should all watch it on youtube! Here is the link because I am blogger illiterate and don't know how to post a video on here. (I hope this works)

Travis in Action

Saturday was the first time I have been able to see Travis in action with athletic training, so I went a little crazy taking pictures of him. Here are a few of Trav working at the SUU football game, which they actually won! They beat Texas State 38-16. I am so proud of him :)

Travis is coming off the field after a time out.

Travis seems to joke with the players the whole time. They all like him and everywhere we go they are giving him updates on their injuries.

On the field hydrating the players.

Phew!!

School started a few weeks ago and ever since Travis and I have been up to our ears in books, homework, and just being busy! Travis is in the Athletic Training program and he loves it! Everyday he goes with the sports team at SUU, mainly football, and tapes ankles (or whatever they want taped), stretches the players, stimulates them (whatever that mean) and other things. He really enjoys it, which is good because he is typically gone from 6am to 8pm. Busy day. I have been busy with school and work too, and luckily just got a new job! Over the summer I was an Orientation Leader for the University (basically showed new students around campus, took them to lecutres, answered questions about being a new student etc) and I loved it! The advisor for this came up to me a few weeks ago and offered me a job! I will be doing all the behind the scenes stuff to get ready for orientation, and I will be trained so I can help new students register for classes next summer! I am so excited for this job! I will be starting next week, and am sad (not really) to be leaving the call center. Basically, that is it for Travis and me. We are staying plenty busy these days!
