Passion!

Yes, I bleed blue-----Cougar Blue.  I am proud that I am an alumni of BYU!  I love everything about the Y...I had an awesome time while I was there and have many fond memories.  If I could go back and repeat some of that time I was there....I would.
Another passion of mine is volleyball.  I have played volleyball since I was in junior high.  I even married someone who also loves the sport.  I love it and I consider it my most favorite sport.  I can't imagine not ever playing VB, not even when I am in my 70's. 
So when these 2 passions of mine combine---PURE JOY!!!

The Lady Cougars played Air Force today at the Academy.  I never miss it and this was no exception.  The whole family (minus K who opted for a bday party instead) likes to watch BYU play the Falcons......of course the Y won.  But AF actually played better than I have seen them play in a long time. 



It always brings me back to my time playing as a Cougar.  (I wish I could still jump like that)  Of course, I look at all the things they have now.....shoes, knee pads, socks, balls, uniforms.... and see how times have changed.  AND long for all that great free stuff.  Sometimes is seems like eons ago, but then there are times that it is so fresh in my mind.  What fun times.
Until next year Cougs!

Did you not have things like shoes, knee pads, socks, balls, and uniforms when you were playing? What the heck did you play in then? Ha Ha =). Glad the Cougars won, maybe that makes up for the football team loss a little!!

FUN! I can just picture you in all your Cougar gear. I think you need to move to Utah County...you'd fit right in. :o)

Your Mom says "The older you get the more you reminisce about the old times". Be sure you have your memories recorded in a journal, so your family can know these things.

Jason said he saw you all there! Looks like it was fun! I love volleyball too, although I didn't ever play it in school. I wish I would have. You know how the men all play basketball @ the church? We should get out own volleyball games going!! I certainly could use the exercise & I think it would be fun! You could teach us all a thing or two and it could be a little GNO once in a while. ;)
