Staying on the R&B kick. New singer named Brandon Hines. These sexy vocals are paired up with some insane beats and these lyrics are so smooth. I get this really strong Trey Songz /Ray J vibe from him. Check this out.a

Perfect Fit...

Love at first Sight...
You know when you get that feeling that God is posting the most obvious signs right in front of your face. Its like neon arrows, blinking, saying >>>> THIS WAY<<<<! Well I got one of those "hello! over here" type of signs tonight. The story begins about a year ago when I started begging my mother, like a homeless person on a street corner, for a puppy. At first, it was just a phase that I was going through. Knowing I wanted a puppy, but knew I wasn't really in a place where I could care for one. This phase has since circled back around the passed few months. This could be due to the fact that 1. I live alone. 2. I need something to care for other than my self in my life right now and 3. They are just so darn cute. And so many more reasons that I could go on for hours. Due to the return of the puppy madness around my apartment, I have been searching/researching different breeds, food, shelter, vets ect. online. I finally decided that I am undeniably a big dog person. I just don't see myself putting a dog in a purse and walking out the door. Please picture this, because it's a pretty funny mental picture if you know me. Anyways, I am pretty set on German Shepherd. Lots of exercise,playful, and durable! Just like me. I have done endless searches on the internet, at adoption and rescue agencies. None of these puppies just stood out as "THE ONE". I figured it would be in my best intrest to hold off until I saw one I just HAD to have. Tonight everything was clicking, I was browsing the local adoption website and there she was, #1 on the list. The most adorable perfect puppy I have ever seen! (INSERT BIG BLINKING NEON ARROW HERE) Her name is Jill. If that isn't a sign I don't know what is. She is a full bred German Shepherd, neutered and shots already started. If I wasn't obsessed with the idea already. I AM NOW! She is "THE ONE" and I gotta get her! God said so! :) So wish me luck on my application! Sorry Mom...

Play with the big dogs... your gonna get bit!

Today was an interesting day! 4 hours of class, 4.5 games of basketball, 45 minutes in the Emergency room, 4 beautiful stitches, and 1 huge hole in my lip. I know, I know I am accident prone. I don't do it on purpose though believe me! I am beginning to believe that getting in some kind of accident is like my own little  welcoming to a new or different place. First broke my wrist, hello Sterling. Oh...You are back to basketball after your wrist surgery... well in that case, Hello ACL. I leave sterling, move to Stillwater and go wake boarding the first couple weeks, Hello 12 stitches in the head. One last time move back to Sterling, welcome back, ACL #2. Welcome to Tulsa Oklahoma, mine as well check my self into a padded room! 4th time is a charm! Well now that you all have my medical history. I'll finish my story.


I was playing basketball up at TCC. It is unfortunately all guys, and I am the only girl that plays up there. Thankfully the guys let me play. And from the first day I have not gotten treated any different than any of the other guys that play up there. I can definately hold my own though. But today, I caught an elbow to the lower lip. My teeth went clean through. 4 stitches later and I was back on the court. This is what happens when you play with the big dogs.... you get bit!


Not to worry I am fine. No tears were shed and no teeth were lost. But I did manage to film my PA stitching me up. So enjoy my short montage

My Place

    Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since I have written. Alot has happened since I wrote last. I have been volunteering at a Physical Therapy place here in Tulsa. I got a job at Finish Line. Not exactly what I wanted but a job is a job! I had the pleasure of getting to see all my Sterling baseball friends in Tulsa when they beat up on top ranked Rogers State! Enjoyed the unusual 60 degree weather. Watched as two of my best friends fell in love which was so exciting to see. And last but certainly not least saw my dad actually jump for joy as his team beat # 1 Pawnee in the Regional finals. 

    Do you have that one place that you can go and everything seems to click for you. That place where everything seems to make sense and where you understand everything that is going on around you. That place where you can sit for hours and think by yourself. That place where you have been since you were to  young to remember. Well I have one of those places. That place that can take me back to the glory days or just clear my head and help me get back to the person I want to be. My magical place is the Chisholm High School gym. Now I know what you are thinking. O that makes sense she loves basketball. Nope thats not even the main reason I love going there. Its familiar, its a place of family, its a place of past and present, its a place where no one bothers me. Ever since I could drive I have been sneaking out to the gym by myself. Turn my music loud, and forget about all the troubles around me. There is something about shooting baskets that calms me. It may be the repetition, or the muscle memory that I don't have to think about anything that does it. The one thing I know going to the gym takes me back to the days in my past where I was a better me. Yah Yah your thinking I'm reliving the days of actually playing basketball in that gym huh!? Wrong again. I was practically born in that gym. I have ate slept and played in that gym since I was born. So many of my memories come from there. My mom would pick my pacifier off of the gym floor and stick it back in my mouth. I have tagged along to practices with my dad since I was able to walk. I learned how to play the game I love there. I had my first kiss in that gym. It's the place where both sides of my family can get together and cheer for a person they both love. I have seen triumphs, tragedies, and heartbreaks. After prom, where me and all of my friends played games and won prizes. Graduation caps flying in the air, packed house for wheat capital tournaments, meeting one of my best friends when I was 5 years old there. Kelcy and I getting dressed alike for games, and then switching places on our parents, because we looked so much alike. I could go on for hours about all of the memories I have in that place and most of them don't even have anything to do with basketball. But one of my favorite moments that happened last weekend when I went home for the Regional tournament. After the last game on Friday, I went down on the floor like I have since I was 2 years old to shoot around. And soon after that my dad came over and started rebounding for me. Doesn't seem like much, but we hadn't done this since I was in high school. It was the best feeling to have him there caring even though I don't play anymore. I know he always said " I don't even care if you play basketball. Do what you want to do." but the love of the game just came naturally from being in my place for so long and seeing how much he loves the game. So thanks dad for just being a coach. Not even my coach. Because even though you didn't yell at me or push me the way I always begged you to do, I pushed my self just as hard. And because of you I will always love the game and my place.

Pure At Heart

     Sometimes I wish that I could go back about 17 years. Back to where everything was so clear. So simple and easy. Back before this world tore so much away from us. Today, I met Landon, an amazing 6 year old hopeless romantic. I was getting my phone fixed today when he an his mother walked in. He waited so patiently chatting away to his mother until I felt a tap on my arm. Landon reached out for a hand shake."Hello, my name is Landon. What is your name." He sounded so proper and had the sweetest little grin. This is what I learned about Landon after our short introduction. 
"Do you know how to make spaghetti?"...."You put the noodles in a biiiiiggg pan with the water then put on the sauce. You can even add big meat balls if you want." I was pretty sure this kid knew more about cooking then I did! But he just continued on without a pause. Landon said with out breathing. "I am six and I am in first grade. I don't go to school though. I just stay home, and I have a batman leap frog laptop." Then he referenced a movie in which they talked about batman. Then Landon said the most adorable thing in the world."I have a girlfriend. Her name is Rachel. We sing together in choir and from the second I saw her I knew that I loved her." It made me want to melt right there in my chair. It made me what to give this kid a hug and say don't lose your innocence. Then it made me hurt, because I knew that the world would tear that away from him in just a few years. It seems like kids are being forced to grow up sooner and sooner these days just to keep up with the world. I wish we could keep that pureness of heart all of our lives. I wish that innocence lasted forever but the real world is beckoning so to be able to see just a glimpse of that in the eye of a child for a few minutes today was a real blessing. 

One last thing! Do you remember that first crush. That first time a boy/girl asked for your number. Do you remember running back to your friends/ sisters to tell them all about it, all the details and you blushing all giggling together. Today, I got my first boy moment with my little sister. Right after school was out I got a text from my 10 year old little sister saying guess what! " My crush got my phone number today. He just flat out ask me for it!" I could hear the excitement right through the screen! She has liked this boy for about 2 years now and he finally makes the move! :) I'm so happy she includes me in her life. Sister moments are something I never got in my life. So to have her here to make up for all those sisterless years is a dream come true! I love you sissy!


P.S. Landon also tells jokes. " You are driving a bus. 4 people get on 16 people get off. 4,390 get on and 1,234 people get off. 2 Million people get on and 3 get off. What color are the bus drivers eyes?..... Do you know the answer!?...... YOU are the bus driver dummy :) 

No, No, No

 No, No, No     
      One, two, three..... thirty-seven. That is how many people told me NO today. Today was devoted to finding a job. I went through every single physical therapy center in Tulsa. Nope nobody is hiring. The only thing I got was a time to go observe at one PT clinic! Which is more than the thirty-six other places that just plain shut me down. So, I moved on the everything else in Tulsa. I basically filled out applications till my eyes went blue... well blue- er! But, Winston Churchill said it the best "Never, nerver, never give up!" and " Wars are not won by evacuations". These words keep me going! I will find a job and I will keep looking until I do.  


Yes, Yes, Yes
      Not all bad news I promise! Today,I found out that one of my friends and her husband are Preggo! I'm super happy for them! This kid is going to have the time of its life! Not only is it going to be the fastest little kid on the planet but its going to have the best Aunt in the world! So best of luck to you! :) 
      The Sterling College Lady Warriors are now the KCAC conference champions for the 4th season in a row!! I cant tell you how proud of these girls I am. They were just our little munchkins the last couple of years and they have overcome so many injuries to keep prevailing! It is so amazing to watch peoples growth through adversity and I wish I could be there to see more of it!
