Kimmy For Heisman!

So... we had our last flag football game of the regular season on Tuesday. I have been the quarterback for all of our games, even though I would rather be catching the ball instead of throwing. Let me just tell you like a little bit about what we have gone through. Ok? ok.

Well, for starters, we actually have a really athletic team of girls. Everyone who plays has played some sort of sport in high school I think. Which is why I think it is so odd that we have not won a SINGLE GAME! In high school I played wide receiver and even was on the All-County All Star team. (Shocking, I know..) So I am not use the pressure of playing Quarterback. I just like to catch the ball ok? So somehow I got stuck playing Quarterback because I am the best at throwing effectively and accurately. Not gonna lie, my passes are pretty ballin. Other than me as the quarterback everyone else just goes where ever. (Mistake number 1). We had one "practice" before our first game but other than that, nothin. (Mistake number 2). Which equals, no plays. So we just really go out there and I decide if I'm going to pass or hand off and the people that are not the best at catching/running are the vocal ones that always want to catch or run the ball. So I just give up trying and let them do whatever because I don't care. (Mistake number 3. Care more).

Ok, so our last game, only 5 of us showed up. So we played 2 girls down. Now I'm going to ruin the happy ending right now and just tell you we lost. So don't get your hopes up. We're not the Red Sox. (Wrong sport, same idea. Get the picture?) So anyway, we're thinking maybe we should just quit right now. But I needed to get my running in for the day so I just decided Ok, I'm gonna just have fun and not get competitive. (You all KNOW how hard that is. Especially Joe. I now refuse to play tennis with Joseph or dad because they make me so mad when I play). So we were just ya know, out there.. running around... messing around... have fun. So when we get the ball, I only have 1 person blocking for me. I don't know why either of the other 2 that could have blocked didn't... anyway doesn't matter. So just imagine your me ok? You get the ball hiked to you, and you see 3 girls running at you from the left, 2 girls on the right, and then the other 2 are covering my receivers..... HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL???!!! So I pretty much have to catch, look for where they're going and throw within a matter of 3 seconds. Do you know how hard that is? It was scary. Well thank goodness for my amazing eye to see where my receivers are going, I throw the ball right in front of my right receiver and she catches and out runs the defense. Scoring our first touchdown of the season. Brought a little tear to my eye. So while she is running down the field, I am running after her yelling "YESSSS!! YESSS!! KEEP GOING, KEEP GOING!!! THEY'RE NOT GOING TO CATCH YOU! YESSSS!!" It was beautiful. I threw 2 more touchdowns later that night. One of which was with 15 seconds left in the 1st half, and then again with 3 seconds left in the second half. It was amazing. We got one more too which was pretty amazing. The other team had just scored and they were going for the extra point. Their quarterback threw the ball to the endzone and our girl intercepted it (In THEIR endzone) and then ran alllllll the way down the field to score our touchdown. It was awesome. So we lost but we had a good time doing it. We scored 4 touchdowns, 3 of which I threw. And I even pulled some flags on defense. (Which by the way I hate defense and never played in high school).

So, you can all vote now for Kimmy Meyers for the Girls Flag Football Heisman Award. Or, if you'd like to make a donation, I take cash or checks.

Bread, Soccer, and Cleaning Checks

So, what do these three things (Bread, Soccer and Cleaning) have in common you might ask? Absolutely nothing. Ok, let's start with bread. I, whom am a genius I might add, made my first real loaf of bread on Sunday. I am tired of buying bread and wanted some homemade bread and since Sister Emery can't fly-- let me rephrase that, won't fly-- 3000 miles to make me some bread, I decided to do it myself. If you look at the picture you can see how very large they were. I don't remember them being quite that large when she would make it. But I guess I just put in more love than she usually does. ;)


Soccer. Well, some of you may have seen on Joe and Julie's blog about the Real Salt Lake game they got cheap tickets for. So last night we went. We were worried it would be rainy (since it was raining all day in Provo at least) but it was not even wet there. It was a pretty fun game. We won 2-0. Joe and Julie left 3 minutes before the game ended and just as they got outside of the gate we scored our second goal. It was a cool one too. I don't know how to explain it other than they put it in the net. Sorry. But it was really fun. Joe got a couple cool pictures of us all I think on his camera so check his blog soon for those.
Ah, the stressful time of cleaning checks. So, Tuesday was the horrible day of tests, papers, and cleaning checks. We have heard only HORROR stories from Shelby when she lived here in spring. She told us about how they MADE her stand one foot on the toilet, the other on the bathtub and watched her as she cleaned the ceiling! ....!!!!!! What. The. Heck. So, Allison and I who did not feel like getting charged $30 for failing, cleaned for HOURS upon HOURS! I started at 5 pm and finished around 11 I think. I did have FHE during that but that was only for an hour. So it was like 4 or 5 hours of cleaning people. FOUR OR FIVE HOURSSSS!!!!! Do you even know what this week has been like? It is Mid-term week for me. Self explanatory. So the fact that I even spent that much time cleaning is amazing in and of itself. Anyway, our neighbors came over and were saying how we don't need to clean that much and blah blah blah. And I was getting kind of annoyed because first of all, why would you make fun of someone for being clean????? Does that make sense to anyone else??? And all of you know how clean and tidy I am. Mom tells that story all the time of how before I went to bed in elementary school I would get everything ready for the next day: making my lunch, laying my clothes out that I was going to wear. Even putting each sock in one shoe. (ok, that was a little strange). But I am just a neat and tidy person. I don't like living in a mess. So the fact that people were criticizing me for being clean really just set me off. So, then I come home today from class and find this note on our door: TAKE THAT! . . . [Punch the air] . . . BOO-YA-KA-SHAAA! [Hard-core break dancing is happening right now to the song "I Gotta Feeling"]

So, we won a free pizza from a local place that has pretty good food. But most importantly, we won Respect. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. And a valuable lesson was learned: If you make fun of Kimmy Meyers, you better be ready for God's vengeance. BAAHAHAHA!

So, Peru eh?

So, I think I told most or all of you, but I applied to do a service project thing in Peru through an organization called YouthLINC through the state of Utah.

I'll just tell you / the world a little bit about it. Its July 2 - July 15. I realize I will be missing one important date. Sorry Alicia, I won't be home for your birthday. But it is only 2 weeks after all. Which is what I like about it. It is not all summer so if I get accepted and go I will still get to come home for a month in the summer. There were 4 places I could apply for: Kenya, Thailand, Peru, and Mexico. Kenya was the most expensive one ($25oo) then Thialand and Peru ($15oo) and Mexico ($1000). I talked to dad and he didn't really want me to go to Kenya or Mexico. Too dangerous I guess. I really wanted to go to Thailand, but the Peru one makes more sense. My friend/former roommate Jenny told me about it and she is going to Peru. Thialand is also in the middle of spring term which I will be staying for I think this year. So this way I get to still go to a cool country. One day though I really want to go to do a study abroad for a term like Joe did. I think it would be really cool to go somewhere in Europe.

So what I do if I get accepted is I have to do 80 hours of community service before I can go. And at least 50 hours at one place. Then that place will probably sponsor me to go and then I get/ask other people if they want to sponsor me. (I'm not really good at asking people for money though. So I'm gonna have to think about how to do that one.) So they say about half the kids get enough to cover the entire cost of the trip. Which is exciting so I might get it all paid for. But again, I have to get accepted first so this is still all up in the air. I don't want to get my hopes up too high just in case. But I think it would be cool if I do get to go.

So start saving your pennies people because donations to YouthLINC are tax-deductible. :)
So, what do you guys think?

Hip-hip Hooray!

Guess whaaaaat???

For work I have made 2 Squidoo Lenses. You can submit them to groups to get more traffic and I submitted my first lens when I first made it to a group called, "A Million Ways To Go Green." I forgot about it and didn't even really know what it was doing for my lens anyway. But I was looking around on Squidoo today and was adding my Lenses to more groups. I was looking at the pages and noticed that they have Lens of the week and featured lenses and stuff like that. So I was looking at them for each group and When I got to the last group, A Million Ways To Go Green, (WHICH by the way has millions of Lenses in that group because it is one of the most common ones, hence why I submitted mine to it) I noticed that my Lens was the Green Lens of the Week!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! VICTORYYYYYYYY!!
Finally, something has paid off for this job! You all know how frustrated I was at the beginning but things are going pretty good with it now (when I can even find the time to work!). So I was really excited when I saw that. So you all should go and look at my Lens: Green Tips For Kids. Granted it won't really pertain to you, but the more people that just visit my site the better it is for me and my Lens. So heres the link for it Green Tips For Kids

ALSO, you don't want to leave out my other lens do you? It is cooler, in my opinion. But here look at this one too: What Is Geothermal Energy. Just skim through it so you can say you saw it.

And if you want to you can visit our work site. Just so I cover alllll the sites. ;)
