Last Tuesday, my girls played South Anchorage High School, which is one of our biggest rivals. Games go best out of three and we played in 3 games for the first time. We lost the first match, won the second, and pulled it off in the third winning the game. We were so happy, but the girls had to really fight. That makes us 7-0. My goal is to have a perfect season and I hope the girls really want it.
On Thursday I had to coach both C-Teams since the other C-Team coach left with varsity to California. Next year it will be my turn to go with varsity and I can't wait! So since I had both teams, I just had this huge competition where the girls had to get individual points through passing, setting, serving, hitting, queen of the court, and tourney play. I told the girls to show up to practice wearing bright colors, the dress code for practice is usually grey top with black spandex. I gave a Gatorade to the best outfit and a free Dimond t-shirt to the girl who scored the most points. Had a lot of volleyball that day. We definitely had to document our outfits! After practice, Cory took me to a movie titled The Town with Ben Affleck as the lead. It was a really good movie. I mean good plot and good action. It wasn't one of those super hero movies, but one where it was all about the villains. Lets just say a villain went from bad to good by self realization. Hands down to Ben Affleck who also produced the movie. Go watch it.

Me and the C-Team girls |
On Friday, I had to run the JV Tournament. I had the C-Teams girls work too by keeping score, libero tracking, and running concessions. It was a LONG day. Had work all day then didn't come home until probably 10:30pm. Good thing Cory came to hang out with me and he even brought me Subway and an energy drink. Either way, I was super exhausted. The JV girls placed second against South. Our Dimond JV girls were pretty bummed and I had to give up my shoulder so one of them could cry it out. Over all it ran smooth and I was glad there were no big problems that I couldn't handle.
Saturday, Cory and I hiked in Girdwood to the Hand Tram again, but this time with Justin and Ruthie Taylor. I had a blast. I just LOVE playing outside. We took lots of pictures and this time we hiked a little bit further than last time. The trail is beautiful and peaceful with Winner Creek running by you. The weather was really sunny, not a cloud in the sky, so it was perfect for hiking. It wasn't warm, but we got warmed up through out the hike. The fall is beautiful! Here are some pics from the hike :)

After our hiking adventure, Cory decided he wanted to order the fights from home. We watched and I must say, that fight card was not impressive. Spending 80 bucks a month on the fights plus food/drinks isn't becoming worth it to me anymore. Maybe we can spend that 80 bucks next month on a date or something cool! Yes. I would love that. Let's see if that happens...
Today has been pretty relaxed. Did laundry, dish washer is running and we have been doing some homework. <3
