Alright so this last week has been so amazing you could easily debate it was the best week of my life! So I went to Jimmer camp this week!!! Now if you know me well anything to do with Jimmer I am all about and I will do it without questions or complaints. Monday the first day of Jimmer camp I really just cant control myself I was going crazy!!! On our way there I could not stop moving I was so excited about what was to come this week! We got there and met our teams, there were two girls from Canada on my team and it was good because one of them was just as big a fan of Jimmer as I was! We got along great and at the end of that day we went to take a picture with him and we both like ran to get next to him! So he put his arms around us for the picture and that was like the best thing ever. Right after he talked to me and this is about how it went...
Jimmer: Hey whats your name?
Me: Allie
Jimmer: So have you liked the camp so far?
Me: Yes I have loved it!
Jimmer: So basketball is your life right?
Me: Yes its my whole life!
Jimmer: Good because its mine to! (Then he turned and shook my hand!!!)
O my so that conversation no matter how small or seeming to be insignificant it seems to be was like the best thing that had happened. Right after we went to have a talk because it was the end of camp that day and it took all I had not to hyperventilate right there. So right after the little meeting I left to go get lunch and that's when I hyperventilated in my car and I called my friend still I was hyperventilating while I was talking to her. So then Tuesday was a pretty normal day nothing really to note in this blog but now I am only going to tell the things that happened instead of each day describing what we do. So while I was there Jimmer watched me do this competition and I won over a guard and it was a competition that a guard had a huge advantage over a post(me). So when I won after he gave me a bro hug, you know what I mean not a real hug just a bro hug like football players kinda. Then he also gave me a signed picture of him! It is so amazing I am framing it and putting it in my room!
Also I went to the mall with my cousin Bethany after camp one day and it was so much fun. Now I know what you guys are thinking right now, what does that have to do with this amazing week right? Well while I was trying to find Bethany because she was already there and I was meeting her I walked around a corner and saw Brandon Davies walking around the same corner. I spun around very quickly to look and see if it really was him. Yes yes it was him but he was to far away for me to ask him if I could take a pic with him. Alright so Brandon Davies is like my favorite post who plays in college so when I saw him it was kinda like everything that happened with Jimmer but not as much! I went and told Bethany all about this little encounter and she was mad that I did not ask him sooner to take a picture with me. When we were done at that store she asked if we could go ask the Verizon wireless place if she could get her upgrade for her phone so I told her that was fine with me. So while I was sitting there waiting for her to talk to the people I looked into the Mr. Mac store that was right across from where we were and lo and behold who did I see, Brandon Davies! So I stared at him for a while and I am pretty sure he noticed me but I really did not care because I was so amazed that I was just in the same mall as him(yes a little obsessed but not as obsessed with him as I am with Jimmer)! So after I told Bethany and she made me go in and take a picture with him, which I am glad because I would not have done it on my own! So I also got a picture with Al Fredette Jimmers dad and I was actually really excited. I heard TJ Fredette sing and I was so excited because I listen to him all the time! That was my amazing week in its fullest!!!

WORK
Alright so yesterday was my first day at work. Let me tell you working at the Kaysville theater is very busy to say the least.
CANDY COUNTER
One word to describe this part of my job CRAZY! Right before the movies start we have so many lines for about 30 min then for 2 hours we do nothing. You really get to know all the people you work with. I think I will definitely have to work at getting good at doing the candy counter but I hope it comes quickly.
TICKETS
Tickets seem way easier than the candy counter, but they are way more important than the candy counter. You have to give the money to the film companies. So they don't really let you do it at the beginning.
That is the bulk of my job! We do lots of other stuff to that contribute to the success of the movie theater but with this all said. I have a pretty fun job! Cant complain about this one, being able to do it with sports is very nice also!

Its been a while
Alright so it has been a while since I have posted so I will tell you what has been going on in my life. My sophomore year has been full of excitement! I was on three sports teams, volleyball, basketball, and track. It kept me very busy after school everyday, I only went home two days of the whole school year.
Volleyball was very fun we took 3rd in the state tournament with a tragic loss to the people who would become the state champions. A lot of sophomores were on the team 16 in all which was a lot of one grade for a team! It was so much fun our team bonded really well together. One of the best things was our seniors were really supportive to everyone and they were very good leaders! There was only three of them so they were like all captains. They were good examples of how to interact together.
Basketball was so much fun! I knew most of the girls because we have all been really good friends since we were little playing jr dart basketball together. We all get along so well and hang out all the time even out side of basketball. I learned a lot from basketball that I think i missed from volleyball because we did not win a lot of basketball games I learned a lot about losing. Its hard when you loose but I only got one loss with volleyball. So in basketball there was a lot to learn about being a good looser and how it felt to loose.
Track was just something I tried this year. Our group of throwers was very tight and we liked each other. It was not as strict it was very laid back and very fun. The most drama occurred in track because all of the boys made a bunch of drama for the girls.
At the beginning of the summer I went to a volleyball camp! It had been a while since I had played volleyball and it felt great to get back on the court. This was very fun to be with all the girls again. Then at the end of the week basketball started. We did the Weber tournament that weekend and that was a fun time together. We went to SLCC basketball tournament and the UTAH tournament. These were very fun to do!
EFY was the next thing that happened to me! It was so much fun!!! We got to be so close as a company by the end. Our girls were very close and we had a love for each other. By the end the boys were really good to all of us girls! It was very uplifting and was very good.
This has been my summer so far! Its been very good and very fun!
