On the Road

So it's been hard to keep up because I've been all over the place within the past 2 weeks. I've probably traveled a good 2000 miles or so in the past 2 weeks. Not this past weekend but the one before it the team went to Rhode Island. It was a long but fun trip. As I said in an earlier post, we didn't play our best hockey that weekend but we finished on a good note. It was kind of interesting because I feel that we had better games than we expected and we were having trouble putting the puck in the net. It was a nice little trip though because I got see some familiar faces. I saw Nic Stock, Annie Lynch and Dan, and I ended up having a game against Cheri Winter. It was pretty cool to see some people from home. So we ended up getting back from R.I. late monday morning and I left for Texas with Becca for thanksgiving break on Wed. around noon. We first drove to her family's lake house and stayed one night there, then we drove to her parents house for Thanks Giving and the rest of break. It was great. Her family was so nice and there was good food. It was a lot of fun, and it was nice to get out of St. Charles for a bit more. It was a tiring to weeks but definitely worth the time. Now it's almost time to go home. Just over two weeks and I'll be home safe. I'm excited!!!!

Pics from the Zoo

Here are some pics that I took at the St. Louis zoo two weeks ago. There was so much to see, I wish I had more time to see all the animals. These were a few of my favorites.

Busy weekend

We just got back from Rhode Island this morning after traveling on the bus for about 22 hours. It's been a real busy weekend but enjoyable. We had 4 games and came out with a 3-1 record for the weekend. I don't have much time to write about details right now so keep an eye out for a new post more about RI soon.

Trip to the Zoo

Today I'm going to the St. Louis Zoo. I'm really excited! I'm taking my camera so I will try to take some good pictures and I'll post them soon.

Trip to Minnesota

So today we just got back from Minnesota. It was our first road trip of the year, and besides a few minor setbacks with the bus driver, it was an overall great weekend. First off, a lot of were excited and a little nervous because we were playing some good NCAA teams. Most of us were more excited though and the games were so much fun! We ended with a 2-1 record. Beating both St. Mary's and Augsburg. Except for our Saturday game, we played our best weekend of hockey we have ever played. We came together really well as a team and it really showed just how good of a team we really are when we play together. I got 3 points this weekend and on Sunday I had one of my best games of the season. Sunday's game was neat because my friend Joe from San Jose came down from his school in North Dakota to visit and watch my game. It's always nice to see friends when we are on the road somewhere. It was so nice to play against good teams. I wish we had challenges like that every weekend. So we ended the weekend on a great note except for the ride home. Apparently our bus driver didn't have too much of a plan to get home and we got lost several times. Instead of getting back to school at 2 or 3am, we got back 5am! It was bad because we had to go to classes today with very little sleep. Besides that, we had a great weekend. Now it's back to school. I've got some busy stuff coming up because we are going to the east coast in about a week and a half and the semester is coming to an end. It's going to be very busy but very exciting.
