The OLYMPICS!!!







So for the past couple of weeks, I was usually seen in front of the tv watching the Olympics at night. It was quite fun to watch. Watching Michael Phelps getting 8 Gold medals and watching many ceremonies where they had the USA national anthem played. It was way awesome.

Picture 1: This girl is one of my all time favorite gymnasts. She won 1 gold and 3 silvers!! She is always positive and always has a smile on her face. She is the one that has a good attitude and all. I also liked how the whole team took Silver!! It was way awesome to see that happen.

Picture 2: BASKETBALL!!! I stayed up until 2:30 in the morning watching this game!! Oh man..it was quite the game! Watching all the slam dunks and all was way awesome!! Ok..for all of you that know me, you may know that I am not really a Kobe Bryant fan, but when it came to having him play for the USA, I really liked how he played. One play in the game, Bryant had the ball and shot a 3 pointer and was fouled. Not only was he fouled, he made the shot. So just from there, we got 4 points. I gotta admit, I was cheering really loud and got all excited when Bryant made that shot!! I hope I didn't wake anybody up because this was like 2 o'clock in the morning! It was well worth watching this Gold Medal Game!! USA got the GOLD!!!...BOO-YEAH!!

Looking Back






Recently I have been going through my stuff. I cam across some photos of me when I was young. The first photo was me at Aunt Pam's house for Easter. I always had to have my Angels hat on. As I was looking at the picture..I realized I had a major fashion crisis....haha!! I had a red hat, pink sweater, high water pants and basketball shoes. What a interesting combination.

2nd photo- This is when I played on the JV team my Freshman Year in high school! It was so much fun and I had many missionary opportunities since I was the only Mormon playing. It was one of the highlights that I had in high school. Also, the certain game was when I scored 19 points. That was my career high!

3rd photo- This is one of my recent photos of me. My appearance has changed a little bit, but I am still the same Laurel that everyone knows.

As I look back in my life, I had many great things happen. When my family moved around quite a bit, I was not happy at all. Leaving all my friends behind. If that was not thee case, I wouldn't have met many great friends from all over!
