I DA HO!!!!

so this weekend at was homecoming weekend!!!! AWW YEAH! we all know what that  means... assemblies, long lunch, the huge game and, of course, the dance:) but.. ha this year, cross country was up at I DA HO for bob firman.. yeah.. we missed homecoming. the school loves us.
BUT missing homecoming wasn't even that big of a deal anymore. Idaho was SO much fun, i think that  when school rolls around tomorrow morning and we tell our stories, everyone is gonna be jealous that they aren't
cool enough to be on cross country. just sayin..
my day started out with a really good mornin side:) i had to go to make up stuff from last year.. so i got all my xc girls to come with. they all showed up on time.. i showed up about 30 seconds before the opening prayer. yeah. well. it was early. anyways.. they (i'm not sure who 'they' actually are) sang a really pretty song that was like 1360135136136 verses long. Haley was so into it. and i was kinda getting into it, when lauren turned around and said "how long is this song??!" to me and rach.. so i busted out laughing as reverently as humanly possible. we left early cause some of the girls had to turn in homework and i had to pay my fee.. oops. guess i forgot all week.. hahah sorry coach...
The bus ride up was eh, alright. it was as fun as bus rides got. We watched blind side and watching it on charter bus tv's, the screen was really dark.. its kinda hard to watch a movie about a big black man on a dark tv...:/ so i fell asleep.. when i woke up tho, dear old matt was nice enough to fill me in on what i missed. Good movie.
Oh mys.. people in Idaho are so different from people in utah.. for lunch we stopped in some parking lot with a few resturants around and were told to be back in an hour. so megs and kami and i went across the street to hit up jamba :) it was pretty much the best dinner in forever and a half.. when we were on our adventure there, we got like 3 honks and like 2 creepers who tried to talk to us.. keep in mind that we were on the bus for like 3 or so hours.. umm oh those idaho boys... finally, we got to jamba, and half the team was there.. haha great fun. OH! ha maybe its cause i haven't been to the jamba in forever here, but the cashier  up at twin falls yells JAMBA when you buy something then the rest of the workers yell JUICE. its kinda funny. it makes the whole jamba juice experience that much better
when we finally got to the hotel, we had just enough time to check in and get into running clothes to go check out the course. The course itself was pretty bumpy, dusty, and had the killer hill of death. It was only two laps tho.. (better then region when its like 3 laps:P) after that super duper hour of our lives we went back to the hotel and pulled off the impossible.
6 girls.
1 shower.
1 blow drier.
1 straightener.
45 minutes.
yea. somehow we did it!! well almost, i think here was 1 or two girls who didn't full on shower.. sorry ladies:(
but we got down to the bus and beat the boys! first time, the entire trip!:) go us!!! Our bus driver was an amazing driver. he thought we loved idaho so much, that he took us on a tour of the city before actually taking us to the mall. once he FINALLY decieded to take us somewhere where we could eat, most of the girls quickly discovered that food courts are expensive and not that great. so we ran across the street and through a few parking lots and found cafe rio:) There we thought that it'd be fun to start cheering in the middle of the food line... it went a little like this....
"WHEN I SAY CAFE, YOU SAY RIO! CAFE..." then everyone working and some customers went "RIO!!" and then a worker started the cheer:) we be trends setters.. or  cheer starters.. same diff..
On the way back, we made it known that the mountain girls were in idaho:) we cheered out heads off. i think we might just give the varsity cheer girls a run for their money one of these days.
There just happened to be a petsmart like across the parking lot from the bus.. so we thought it'd be pretty epic to buy a goldfish, name him, kiss him for good luck, and then have him live till the arizona trip..
So we bought Filbert Bruin Junior. He was a happy yittle guy.. he only cost 13 cents. but his food was like 3 bucks. We loved you THAT much Filbert. SO we took him home, after annoying the fish man, and let him live in the ice bucket at the hotel.. hehe.. then on race day we put him in a bottle and took him to bob firman.. there, he lasted almost all day... until nate started throwing grapes at him and then baylie let him go into the lake there... so we figured that was the end of Filbert Bruin Junior... RIP yittle guy...
The race itself was way fun. i broke 100 again.. and ran horribly. buuuuuut despite my epic fail, we still pulled off a 3 place finish over all:) atta girls:) jayvee boys took first, varsity boy took fourth and varsity girls took eighth. way to be bruins:)!!!!!!
The bus ride home was great great fun. It was filled with bus surfing, sleeping, random movies like ever after, waking up and having matt explain the entire movie again, back scratches:), rounds of baby do you love me, talking to the kids who NEVER talk to you, and a great great bus driver.
When people asked how homecoming was, i pretty much get to say it wasn't what i expected at all.. i thought my jr year i'd be at the game, then the dance the night after. instead, i got one of the funnest trips ever.... aww yeah<3
