She Thinks My TRACKtor's Sexy

This weekend we had our first race-- in Pocatello, Idaho.  It was great to be back in the 208, but as soon as we entered the arena parking lot and saw tractor upon tractor parked, I knew I was in for a weekend of teasing.
We had driven down the night before in a big bus, about 3 and a half hours, and then stopped at Golden Corral for dinner.  We went into the grocery store nearby to buy our lunches for the next day (Mike and I combined our per dium to share a lunch) and then headed to the hotel.  Nichole (Chole) Clark was my roommate and we got into a looong talk about boys and how similar a few of our relationships are.  It was great.
The next morning we were off to the arena and each had to wait until our race came.  I raced in the mile with Eddy, Candace, KP, Chole, and Lacey.  My race wasn't the best, so I have had a very reflective weekend, learning what I can from this experience.  But the cool-down run after quickly helped me forget.
We often do picture runs and cool down with our cameras, taking as many fun pictures as we can.  These have been some of my greatest memories on trips, especially our pier run in Seattle.  Here we jumped in as many tractors as we could, got devoured by a very nice looking tiger, and turned their ISU tiger paw into a cougar.  Thank you girls for helping me learn and grow through this whole experience of BYU Track.
And my parents were able to come! I have the best, most supportive parents I could ask for.  They drove 7 hours in one day just to see me for a few hours, and I had the best time with them.  They always love me no matter what and are so encouraging.  I am so grateful to have them as mine.
