Ooooh what a good week this has been! Wow, I don't even know where to start. Okay, I'll just go day by day.
Monday we carved pumpkins for FHE, it was pretty sweet. Kaitlin and I carved ours together, it turned out nice. Wednesday I went over to the Hazards and carved pumpkins with all of them. That was so much fun!
My pumpkin was rotten in the middle but I was tough and dug out all the guts and carved it anyway (I paid 5 bucks for that thing!). Everyone finished their pumpkings pretty quick, mine took forever to finish. I think I took about 2 hours, but in my opinion it turned out amazing! The day after I carved it my pumpkin caved in on itself and never even got to see Halloween. Oh well.
Thursday night I had another soccer game, the first game of the Tournament. It was against the Knights and it was a good game! We won, I honestly can't remember what the score was but it was a good competition. It brought us one step closer to the championship game!! It was perfect soccer weather and I love playing with my team! They are so awesome. My friend Scott came to watch me play and so did Kaitlin, so they hung out on the sidelines and I joined them when I wasn't playing.

So Thursday was fantastic....Friday came and of course that was Halloween!!! It was kind of an up in the air kind of night, we just skipped from party to party. But we started out the evening with eating pumpkin stew at the Hazards. I was a little nervous but it was actually really good! Nancy dug out the insides of a pumpkin and cooked the stew in the oven IN the pumpkin. It was really fancy and the pieces of pumpkin were delicious! We ate on the floor in the kitchen by the light of two candles, it was very spooky. And of course the occasional trick-or-treater would come and Colby would get a mask on and scare the bejeezes out of them. Poor kids!
After dinner we all got together and played a little Nintendo 64 Mario Kart. That was fun, I'm a little rusty though. Then we got all dressed up in our costumes. Kaitlin was a "dare devil" and wore the devil horns with bandaids and stuff. Very creative. Colby wore a wig and he was a "reject BYU-I student". Good one haha. And for my costume I decided to be a polygamist. I found the best dress for it and my hair was poofed sky high (the higher the hair the closer to Heaven). In my mind I knew that I should've been wearing running shoes with my dress but I just couldn't get myself to do it. So I just stuck with wearing normal shoes. Here are some pics!
After we partied it up we went back to my apartment and watched Mothman Prophesies. Scary movie! I wasn't really scared after but it made me have horrible dreams all night so I didn't really sleep very well. But I guess it shook Colby up a bit, haha! Kaitlin said that when I dropped them off after the movie the front door was locked and Colby freaked out and then slept on the floor in Kaitlin and Court's room. Funny. It's alright, it was a scary movie! I watched I am Legend for the first time on Saturday night, that one was way good but kind of creepy and scary too. I really liked it though.
Saturday morning my team had our second soccer game of the tournament against the Hawks. I guess you could say that the Hawks were our rivalry, they were the number one ranked team until we beat them last week (shut them out at 3-0). They were undefeated before we played them. It was a really, really intense and competitive game. The atmosphere was just filled with anger, you could tell that we all wanted to beat eachother. I think the Hawks just weren't used to having a lot of competition, and we definitely gave them a run for their money. My old roommate Mary was on the Hawks team so it was good to see her again.
But anyway, they were our first game. If we lost that game then our season would be over, and we didn't want that! So we played our guts out and played with real heart and in the end the game was tied 3-3! We had to go into overtime and that was so nerve racking. The refs told us that we would just play until the first goal scored, so when our team scored first we all ran together and dog piled on the field. Turned out that it was a miscommunication and that we had to play two complete 10 minute halves. So we regathered ourselves and beat them fair and square.

So after we won our first game we had about two hours to recover and play our next game, the game for the championship!! We were so excited to have made it so far, because looking back on our season we actually lost a lot of games. But we're a good team so we were happy to show that and to show our skills. We were all so exhausted from the first game; the other team had a game that morning too but they didn't go into overtime so they had a slight advantage because they weren't as worn out and they had more time to rest.
The game was so slow moving. Everyone was so tired, but in the end we won again and became the champion team of all BYU-I women's soccer!! When the whistle for the end of the game blew we didn't even have enough energy to run together and be excited, we all sort of walked off the field with smiles on our faces, high-fived eachother, took pictures, and pretty much collapsed. It was a very well deserved victory! Go Vikings!
We are the Champions!!!
