whirlwind days

Things have been crazy since I got back home. I landed on Thursday and Michelle and I headed to Cecil B spa to see Maria and for me get a much needed eyebrow wax with the master and then I did a sun treatment. You have heard my stories about tanning but I was determined to look tanned for Jens big day so I didn't blend in with her dress. Let me just say this is the way to go the lady exfoliated me which felt fantastic then I took a long hot shower and was moisturized and then she rubbed the tanning lotion on me. The result... tanned with no streaks finally!!! Friday morning was spent reclaiming my closet apparently my parents forgot about me while I was gone. I have moved from a bedroom to the closet to all of my rubbermaids being buried the closet under all the old junk from the office. Megs was so gracious to help out I unpacked all of my clothes and then packed them all back up again. Friday night was the rehearsal dinner and it was so great to catch up with Jen. Saturday morning was the big day and it started fairly early. It was such a fun day all the bridesmaids got their hair done by Rachel and make up from Maria. There were no problems and Jen was the most beautiful bride. I only cried once, Jen was crying right before the ceremony started and that got me going a little! I managed to keep it in besides that. I found some pics that some other people took so I will post them I am sure more pics will follow.

Season over...

We lost in overtime in game 3 last night. It was pretty upsetting, a lot different from last year when I was ready to be done with it all. The girls were all really cool this year and I had a lot of fun with this team so while I am now excited to go home it is dissapointing that it all came to an end. I am working on very little sleep right now as our plane left far too early this morning and I had to rush to do my physical and many other little tasks. My to do list is quite long right now. We re x rayed my foot today in a standing position and the bone spurs are very evident just standing and bending they really bang against each other. This is what is causing all the pain. After seeing the x ray the doctor went back and forth about surgery my first x ray was laying down and they were not as big or visible. The plan is now to take a month off and evaluate. If I am feeling better after a month then I can try some court workouts but if that causes discomfort then I will go back to Sac for surgery.
Tomorrow is my exit interviews, buying shoes for the wedding and packing I leave Thursday morning! I need to go get some food my cupboards are empty!

playoffs are here

We lost our first playoff game tonight against San Antonio we were down 20 at one point and actually came back and almost pulled it off. Hopefully next game we will not dig ourselves in a big hole, we leave for SA tomorrow morning and play our next game Saturday.
Britt got picked up by SA so I got to go out for dinner with her last night and hang out which was great. Since my car buddy had her husband in town I decided it was time to drive what I know refer to as the dreaded red car. I was nervous because a week ago it started jumping when I turned it on after turning it on and off 3 times it stopped. The car was doing great until I got to downtown Sac thank goodness I was on a side street because I was driving along and all the sudden the car jumped a little and shut down. I go into freak out mind put it in park turn it off and find the emergency blinkers. Cars are starting to pile up behind me and I am beginning to sweat. I turn it back on and what do you know it runs fine I pick up Britt and we make it to my apt where it will sit until I get it shipped home. This car hates me it never broke down for anyone in our family but I have had to take it to the garage 2x. I just need it to get me to Arco where it will be picked up and then I really never want to drive in it again. I don't understand how it can just run fine and then just turn off I hate cars.
It is time to pack early morning.

Playoff bound!

We made playoffs clinching them last week with a victory over Seattle which made it all sweeter! I am done for the year I am practicing and well that may not be the smartest it most likely will not do further damage and I could not handle watching that many practices. This weekend we had a back to back in Texas but our game was cancelled because of the hurricanes kind of crazy and it has been moved to a different arena as Houston's Reliant arena was an evacuation site. Myself and Chelsea Newton stayed home for the trip been lifting heavy and killing the pool workouts. I am pretty excited because tomorrow will be our first day off in quite some time.
I went to my first high school football game last night... wow! It was really like the movies and it was out in the country so saw a truck with a gun rack on the back how cool is that!
It is getting cold in California, I didn't even know it got cold here but last night it was 54. After months of 90+ it was a shock.
It is time to eat...

We are one win away from securing a playoff berth with 3 games left this season. I met with our surgeon tonight and after reviewing my mri again he said the best route would be to take 3-4 months off and hope it heals. It is kind of like my sprain from last summer in the sense that once I did it it is something I will recover from or will nag for my career. I guess I have a bone bruise and a chip in the bone the good news is that the chip didn't completely break off so nothing is floating around. He said the ankle and foot is the last place you want to operate on. I am going to need some serious patience to do nothing for 3 months, we will see how that all goes.

Weekend visitor

Michelle was out here for the weekend it was a lot of fun. She got in the night before we played Houston so we hung out and caught up and the next day spent a little bit of time pool side. I was on IR so didn't need a nap or anything like that. We had Sunday off so we went to church and then headed to the mall. I am not going to lie I was tired after the first store, leaning on anything I could I can't keep up with her shopping. She did make a lot of really cute purchases. She left the next day so it was really short but good to see her and have a visitor.
Right now we are two games up on Houston so we are in 4th place with 5 games remaining. I am not sure if I will be playing anymore this season, I have been practicing but I am nowhere near 100% unfourtanetly. I had my MRI on Tuesday morning I haven't talked with our surgeon yet but I do have a bone spur on my Talus I believe. This could very likely mean surgery when the season is over. Our surgeon will be at our game on Sunday so I am going to discuss options with him then. One of my teammates has the same thing sprained her ankle really bad a few games before the break and she didn't practice all break hoping the pain would go away and she is still in incredible amounts of pain. If I do have the surgery I would be out for 8 weeks. It sucks but I can't play the way that I like to with the pain right now so I will keep you all updated after I talk with our surgeon.
We are off to Phoenix tomorrow morning, only 5 games left!
