My whipped up story by Tyrel

I wrote this story for my English 251 class. I thought you might enjoy.

dance with death

I will never forget my walk home after my basketball game. It was cold and snowy like it usually is in Rexburg...the more I think about it the more I think it was July. Yes you read that right cold and snowy. In July.

While walking I could have sworn I heard someone following me. This of course would not surprise someone like me, I'm always being followed these days by one thing or another. I turned around quilckly and saw nobody there, but I could sense that someone was there, or something. Then it dawned on me, maybe it was my "buddy" Jack, he's always following me. It can get annoying at times, but I like it, he makes me feel like I am somebody. He makes me feel important. I was convinced it had to be Jack. My walk home now was not as bad.

Then I heard it again. I turned quickly and right in front of me was a man of some sort, hooded and cloaked with an eerie quality. He looked at me pointed and said, "Hey Tyrel, wanna dance?" I looked back confused, shrugged my shoulders and said sure. Cloak man whipped out a long flat piece of card board, pulled out his huge Ghetto Blaster. Cloak man tighten up his sneakers, I tightened mine. He walked over to the Stereo pushed play revealing a tight 80's break dance beat. I was pumped and ready to go. Before we started we shook hands and he finally revealed his name....death. I was slightly taken aback, but whatever I was ready to dance with death.

Post addition....

Apologies for the previous post.  It is still under construction.  Ending will come shortly.  Please be patient... Thank you.

The goings on the past 1.5 mths

We know that it has been a couple fort nights since we let all you blog followers know how were doing. Sports, championships, racquetball, mutilated right hands, Tetons, etc. After reading all that I am sure you're all more interested to read this post....well sit tight and enjoy the awesomeness of this married couple.


Sports:
Suz and I were participants in a variety of sports this fall. I played softball and flag football. My sweet wife played Softball, Flag Football, Basketball, and Compet Soccer (Head Coach). With all of these sports going on I am very pleased to say that I did not miss one of Suzi's games. I even missed one of my football games so I could watch Suzi play in her football game. I will proudly admit that I am the team mascot, follower, cameraman, and the #1 fan. No one can compete with me.

We played on the same softball team, Bird Family Favorites. This was the BYU-I Grounds Crew softball team. We weren't very good at all...at times it was pretty embarrassing. I think we actually won one real game where we played against a full team all our other wins came from forfeits. Our first tournament game we got beat pretty good ending our season.

My Flag Football team was a mediocre team that won one playoff game. My quarterback didn't have eyes for me when I was running my routes, so I didn't get the ball very much. I played with one of my friends that I work with on grounds. I was just thankful that I got to play, I was really worried that all I would be doing is playing softball this semester.

Now Suzi's Flag Football is a completely different story. The Wildcats are a dominant team with dominant players. There wasn't one girl on her team that was awkward or uncoordinated in anyway...so, no liabilities. In the League this year there were maybe 4 teams that could play with them for a minute than the Wildcats would shift gears and the game would be over. This season was a first for them they had one team score one touchdown on them...it was kinda a fluke because Suzi wasn't in the game at the time. Yes even Suzi has to rest. The outscored their opponents like 2354779-6, their pretty good.

Basketball is still going on for a couple more weeks for her. They're not as dominant as flag football was, but with all the same girls playing ball with each other there still a dang good team.

Competitive Soccer was really fun to be a part of this year. Suzi was the head coach, she did such a good job bringing her team together and helping them realize their potential. It was a lot of fun watching her be the "General" of this team. Keep reading and you'll see how good of a player/coach she really is.

I hope to have some sweet pictures of her playing sports as soon as I can. I do have some pretty sweet video of her flag football.
