HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!!

Today is my mothers birthday!  My mom is REALLY great & I wanted her to know how much I love her & so I've compiled a list of silly things I love about her.

This was on Christmas Eve - she was cooking & had powdered sugar on her nose, but didn't know it.

1. She's always very supportive of whatever I choose to do.
2. She goes over her text limit.  I love that she texts.
3. She's a die hard cougar football fan - goes with my dad to every game & cheers loud.
4. She knows more about Hollywood stars than I do.  My sisters & I will be talking about some celebrity & she'll pipe in & say things like, "Didn't they break up?"  She knows her celebrity gossip.
5. Sometimes when we get her laughing really hard she snorts.  Its hilarious!
6. She's very fashionable - spends more on clothing than I do & used to complain about how much I spent on a pair of jeans - very cute.
7. She has a great "happy face."
8. She's very good at the game 'Reverse Charades' - very funny.
9. She cares about my education.  Everytime I see her she asks me about my classes & how school is going.
10. She'll watch sports with my dad.  So awesome.

I could go on forever because my mom is amazing!  I love her & I hope that she knows it.

My sports column dedicated to father & brother this week:

The weekly issue for the UVU Review comes out on Monday each week so last week while I was contemplating what to write for my sports column I decided that since it would come out on the Monday of Thanksgiving week I would write about who I have to thank for my sports knowledge & career choice.

This week's articles ... Enjoy.

I am loving being the sports editor for the UVU Review, but I don't get to write as much as I did when I was just a sports writer or the assistant sports editor.  I miss that a lot, but here is what I wrote for the current issue. 

Feature on UVU Volleyball's Lanni O'Reilly - this was the last feature I will do on UVU Volleyball, and it makes me sad.  I've really enjoyed covering the volleyball team the last two seasons.  The girls & coaches are fantastic and I really cherish the relationships I have made with them.

Article featuring UVU Volleyball's Seniors on their victorious 'Senior Night'.


Enjoy!
