Current Article

Ok, so i've been slacking ... When starting my blog my main reason was to post my articles written for the UVU Review (the newspaper I write for) so that family & friends that were interested & at a distance could read my articles.  I've got caught up in the blogging world & gotten addicted to blogging for fun stuff, but have been asked by a friend "Where are all your articles?"  So, for those of you that care, here is my current article.  First here's a little update, I've been mostly covering Women's Basketball this semester & it has been awesome!  They have an amazing team this year & it's been really fun to get to know the players & the coach!  They are all super nice & fun to talk to!  I'll be better at posting my weekly articles from here on out... :)

Big win for Wolverines over Chicago State

By Kira Terry

Backed by Robyn Fairbanks' impressive 28 points and 14 rebounds performance, the Wolverines finished off Chicago State with a 79-50 win.

The Canadian duo of Fairbanks and Julie McMurray stepped up once again with big performances.

Fairbanks upped her scoring average to 25.3 as her numbers continue to climb each game as she finishes out her senior season with UVU.

As always, Fairbanks had the help of her Canadian teammate. McMurray put a big 20 points on the board for the Wolverines, nine of which were three-pointers and 17 of the 20 were scored during the second half. McMurray also pulled down six rebounds.

The first half ended with only a four-point difference, 27-23, in favor of the Wolverines. UVU and Chicago State both started out strong after the half began, but the Wolverines proved stronger by scoring 52 of their total 79 game points during the second half while Chicago State scored only 27 points.

The Wolverines as a team hit 47 percent or their shots during the game. Senior Hollie Beaman also had a solid night on the hardwood. Beaman dished out 11 assists coupled with her 11 points, in a total of 33 minutes.

Asumi Nakayama continued her consistent performance leading the Wolverines at the point, finishing the game with five assists and a total of six points in her 33 minutes. UVU increased to a four-game winning streak UVU after the victory. 

The Wolverines will be on the road for the next few weeks and will return to defend their home court on Feb. 28 to take on New Jersey Institute of Technology.

Mini Update!!

Purchasing a Mini is still on!!  This weekend it started to seem more real.  On Saturday I went up to the dealership in Murray with my Dad to take a little test drive & get some information on pricing and financing.  First of all, the test drive was AMAZING!!  Super, super, super fun & fast car!  When I got to the dealership I had all intention at looking at the darker colored Mini's, but once I looked at them I wasn't a big fan of the darker colors.  Instead, I drove a Pepper White Mini, that is like a pearl cream/white color.  (It is one of them shown on my blog sidebar, as well as in the photo below)  I instantly fell in love with that color & am pretty sure that is the color I am going to get.  

So now all I have to do is sell my car & I'll be the proud driver of a 2009 Mini Copper Clubman!  I've been getting financing quotes through my bank & a credit union, and I got some excellent news from the credit union today that they are able to give me an awesome interest rate which will make my payment much lower than I was told by the dealership.  I'll keep you all updated as it gets closer & yes you all are welcome to a ride in the Mini once I get it!!
