Today is only the beginning of what we've worked so hard for. The running, the practice, the getting yelled at, our ups and downs all come down to these 4 games. There's nothing more nerve racking then sitting on the bus heading to phoenix watching the cactus go by and thinking about the game. It definitely puts a knot in my throat that any game might be my last, but it gives me a kind of motivation to give it 100%. It's a surreal feeling knowing that the game I know and love is slowly but surely coming to an end. Like I tell my team clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose! <3

Now I'm stuck trying to figure out what I want to do with my life and I'm realizing life isn't so simple. I
