Hello Everyone! Hope you have all had a good summer, because mine has been way fun! I was supposed to add to our blog in July I think, but i obviously forgot...oops :) so i figured I'd fill you in on what I've been doing even though I'm a little late....

So all of June I went on a Church History trip. We traveled on bus all the way to New York and back, which wasn't too fun, but all the sites we stopped at along the way were really cool.

(My cousin (right of me) and couple of my friends eating a McDonald's ice cream cone before we left NYC)

A couple weeks later I hiked timp all the way to the top and it was not easy because how much snow there still was but it was still a fun little adventure even though I literally thought i was going to die a couple times. I think it was the next week that i went to a George Strait concert. And unless you like country music you might not know who he is, but he's one of my favorites! I also went to an owlz game for the first time and I participated in a hot dog eating contest, but I barely lost to some guys three times my size. He stole my gift certificate i should have won, but oh well haha it was kinda fun. But the highlight of my summer was probably the week I spent with all my family and close friends at Bear Lake. We've gone every summer for the last 10 years and i think it gets funner every time go. We rent a house for the week and all we do is eat lots of food and boat all day its the best! (Just some of the kids on the beach)

So that was pretty much my summer. I left out a lot of details but you all can at least have a picture of what I have been up to. I'm excited to get started with school and practicing and things, especially getting to know everyone better. So I guess I will see you all soon :)

Hey Team! Coach Liz here. This is my first time ever blogging, but after seeing "Julie & Julia" on Friday, I feel inspired! So here goes... a tiny bit about my summer. :)

It has been a whirlwind from the beginning! I finished up my duties as a School Counselor and Coach at Timpanogos High, and also coaching a local club team, the Utah Flight. Literally days later I was immersed in my new wonderfully adventurous job at UVU! I have traveled quite a bit this summer. In addition to recruiting in Portland and Las Vegas, I was also able to go the following places:

• Lake Powell-with 60 of my closest friends ;) It was rainy, but we still had a blast!
  
• Boise-for my little brother Preston's LDS Mission report. He served in New York City and will return to BYU in the fall. (And he is very excited to meet all of you! ;)
  
• Star Valley, Wyoming-for the 4th of July with a friend's family. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery, great food, and plenty of fireworks.
• New York City-to visit my older brother and his family. They live the coolest life in Brooklyn!
  
• Lake Winnipesaukee-yes, the very same lake from "What About Bob". No we didn't do any sailing... but we did spend our days skiing, swimming, canoeing, and finding new cool toys to try and balance on as we pulled them behind the boat (Preston mastered balancing on a windsurfing board! I stuck to kneeboarding, a lost art. ;)
  
• Bear Lake-I'm going in a few days with my family. Bear Lake is my favorite place on earth! Boating all day, raspberry shakes at night, it really doesn't get much better!
  

A few other things that you should know about me:

• I love basketball and all sports really. I love playing them and watching them. I am pretty decent at most, I love volleyball, golf, football, softball, bowling, etc. However, I can't throw a frisbee to save my life.
  
• I love musicals. I am a total showtunes nerd! (Don't make fun. I'll convert you all to Broadway!) My favorite musicals are "Les Mis" and "Wicked", which I have seen 4 times! At work I am usually listening to one of my Broadway Pandora stations.
• I love my family. Even though we are all spread across the country, we are very close. They are my favorite people to spend time with. I have 2 nieces and 3 nephews and they melt my heart!
  

Last thing. I am thrilled to be at UVU! I feel so privileged to be able to learn from Coach Nixon and Coach B. And I can't wait to get to know each of you better! It is going to be a great year!

:) Coach Liz
