OH, WHAT THE NEW YEAR WILL BRING :)

Hello Everyone!
Christmas has now past and we are about to begin a New Year for 2011!! Just as important my birthday is coming up January 5th WHOO HOO!! Along with that in January I will be having my knee surgery on the 11th. For those of you who do not know, I unfortunately tore my ACL in the game against Wilmington, however I just made the cut off for red shirting this year!! Sooooooo... for the rest of this year I am and will be working extremely hard so I can return and continue to battle as a yellow jacket for two more full years!!
With all that aside, we just had our annual Christmas party! Which I have to say has been the best one yet since I have been to BW!! We had amazing food, Olive Garden of course:) along with our hilarious "white elephant" gift exchange! Afterwards, we always have team skits which are super entertaining. The freshman with the clever and hysterical "13 days of Christmas" and us upperclassmen with our own scene/cheer from the movie bring it on! All in all was a blast :) Lastly, our next game is on my b-day against John Carroll and I am looking forward to our next OAC victory!!
GOOOOO JACKETTSSS!!!

CHRISTMAS WONDERLAND


SOOOOO... just last week we had our second home game against otterbein... it was a bit of a struggle at the beginning but we came together with our fist held high (SYNERGY) and won in overtime so far we're doing well in the OAC. Just this past weekend also was christmas, we got a few days off. I decided to spend my break in atlanta with my brother and his family(to the right is a pic of me and my brother and two of his kids).. road a train downtown, built a gingerbread village with the kids, it was really fun sort of relaxing but still busy.. no sleeping in for me ha. Tonight some of the girls we went to see Black Swan which was AMAZINGGGG! really weird like it was definitely different not for some people like Amanda.. the movie was not happening for her lol but i love and can't wait to see it again! Other than that we have a whole week without a game but its nice cus we have a lot of preparing to do for our huge games coming up in the next week or so and i can't wait to kick some ---..

Finally, A Home Game!!

We just got back from Lexington, Kentucky and what good things we will learn from this weekend. I love getting to travel and get to know more and more about each teammate just by living with them for two nights! Plus nothing could feel better than clapping our way back into Berea, home of the yellow jackets!

Tonight we have a JV game against Lakeland and ready to show them once again what YellowJacket basketball is all about. We undefeeeated We undeeeefeated. =]

And last but not least we finally get to play a home game against Otterbein on Wednesday!! Sooo excited to not have to sit on a bus for 5 hours a trip.

I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas; nothing is better than being with Family, a christmas tree, and home cooked meals.

God Bless!
Keep on Stingin' Jackets!

Back to B-W!

As most of you may know we are just coming back from our wonderful weekend trip to Kentucky, where we stayed in the lovely Hyatt Hotel. For those of you who might not know this, it is connected to the Rupp Arena where the UK wildcats play which was pretty awesome considering they played Saturday night there, it was extremely crowded in our hotel and it was completely full of blue. We even got had a decorated Christmas tree right outside our window, which gave us some Christmas spirit.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...


Hello lady Jackets! Today we had the honor of going to the glorioius Holiday Luncheon, which is in fact pronounced more like "lunch-in" than "lunch-ee-on" as Victoria Brown would say. :D Above is a picture of me singing my little heart out to some Christmas carols at my table- fuuuuuun stuff. I don't know what everyone else thought, but the food seemed pretty amazing considering I haven't had a home cooked meal in quite some time. Oh my gosh and the fruit pizza/ cheesecake was glorious as well. A part from practice and traveling to games break has been a good time to just relax and take it easy. It's nice not to have to worry about schoolwork especially after a stressful week of finals! Tomorrow we travel to Marietta to take on the lady pioneers! Getting pumped!

Go Jackets!

That GOOOOOD W

The Lady Yellow Jackets just pulled off another great conference win against the Quakers tonight! It was a really good team win and we played with a lot of effort. Good job ladies! As you know, it is Christmas break and we have so much free time and GET TO SLEEP IN! So far it has been a blast hanging out with the team and I am sure we will have a lot more memories to come. We travel to Marietta next, so get those stingers out ladies :)

Study, Study, Study...DONE!!

YES! Finals are finished for the team! With one semester down, we get to relax a while for Christmas break. This week has been very tiring as everyone has been up late preparing for their exams. We had a great week last week, grabbing a few W's from Heidelberg and Kenyon. Our JV squad also picked up two victories over Lakeland and Heidelberg's JV team! Now that it is finally Christmas break, we have lots of time to hang out as a team and go to eat (we kicked off the break with a nice trip to Olive Garden, which was lovely!) haha. My roomie Megan and I decked out our dorm room and made it look like Santa's workshop! We have so many lights up and our own little tree! We are all geared up to travel to Wilmington this Saturday when we have our first double header with the men's BW team. We play first and then the guys play after; hopefully we get a great crowd and bring home two yellow jacket wins!!
