Practice 8/11/10 [10:00a.m. - 1:00p.m.]

Hm... well today's practice wasn't too horrible. Did I mention yesterday that I pulled a groin muscle. Holy cow it hurts. :( Today we worked on our Camp Dance and Military some more. They are both startin' to look good. We are learning our Kick routine on Saturday. I'm so excited. It's gonna be a long day though haha (: Not much to tell about practice today but I'd thought I'd write as much as I thought of. Don't worry, it's only 1:30 in the morning. What does that tell ya? Oh yeah, I'm a freakin' NIGHT OWL!! Haha. (: Well since I'm like burning up alive in my hot room and I'm really actually pretty tired, I'll sign off. (:

THUNDERETTES KICK BUTT BABY!! (:

Practice 8/10/10 [10:00a.m. - 1:00p.m.]

Practice today was... decent I'd say. The team was a little bit goofy at times haha, but we made good progress. We learned almost half of our Military routine and all I can say is... the state of Utah's 1A competition better look out cause the Piute Thunderettes are gonna be lookin' good this year. (: I'm so excited! I love my team. We have such great times together. We work so hard and we have THE best coaches in the world! (: This year is gonna be grrrreat and totally successful (: (: (:

Practice... Everyday... All Week... I'm so not ready for this :/

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE drill team(: But... somedays I wake up and think,"Aww man, I have practice for three hours today." Add a sad face to that and you've got me nailed for everyday this week. Our last week of practice before school starts (another sad face). Believe me, we're gonna totally rock hardcore this year but... ugh if only practice wasn't so long and tiring! Ha-ha. Just kidding I love it dearly. And I cannot believe that I only have 2 years of it left. This is a depressing subject. School? Oh heck yes I can't wait until is over. Drill and Cheer? I don't wanna leave that behind. Sure I can go on and dance and cheer in college but... what fun is that? Ha-ha. When I start thinking about how fast time is going and how much I'm gonna miss doing this, my whole perspective on those three hour long practices, it changes... big time. So, I guess that's just what I'll have to do every morning. Just say to myself, "Courtney, you're a Junior, you have this year and then one more to make your high school career as memorable as can be with a State Champ ring or two and a 4 in a row streak of Region titles. So get out of this really, really comfortable bed, get your butt in gear, and get over to that high school and practice your heart out!" And yes... I will talk to myself in third person just like that too(: To end this post all I need to say is.......................................... THUNDERETTES KICK BUTT!!!!!!!! (: (: (:

Thunderettes '09-10 & '10-11

Hmm.... so since I NEVER blog on here haha, I thought maybe I'd do it, 'cause I'm super bored and it's all rainy outside. I cannot believe that last time I was on here to blog was before Sophomore year's camp. Whoa right? Anyways, last year was AMAZING! We took Region, again (: and took 2nd at State. But.... wait for it..... the greatest part of last year was at the Richfield/Region competition where the Piute High School Thunderettes BEAT the freakin' Duchesne Douchers in MILITARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh man, greatest moment of my life! That was so amazing! (: (: (: (: I'm still like pumped about it and it was almost a full year ago! Haha. Uh.... anyways. I'm now going into my Junior year, my 3rd year on the Drill/Cheer team and it's going to be amazing again, I can feel it (: I am the Junior class captain this year, which is way awesome. We went to BDT camp again this year and it was so amazing! Haha. We learned so many cute dances and guess what?! Hunter and I were in the Top Corps Contest as finalists. We sucked it up but it was still awesome haha. We just finished wit Cheer camp and I am super sore and sunburnt. Whoa haha it was intense but fun. I am doing a solo this year too! Woo!!! I am so excited! It's super cute and I love it!!! It's to "The Garden" by Mirah. Way good song! Like perfect for me! Haha. I've almost got it finished and then it's just practice, practice, practice (: (: We are learning our Kick Routine next Saturday, which I'm pretty excited about. I hope it goes better than last year's hahaha. That's embarrassing. :P Anyways.... I guess I could try and write on here more often. I mean, it's not like people actually read this but I guess it's more for my benefit. (: Alrighty.... Im'ma head out now.
Love ya bye! (: (: (:
