Question # 3

Who is your all time favorite athlete and why?

My favorite athlete i must say its Giba, from the Brazilian National Team... He's an amazing volleyball player and a great sense of leadership. Skilled player and intense as well, that's maybe one of the reasons that i go crazy whenever we make a point lol :) . When the subject is the team Giba is always discipline and responsible athlete, and no measuring efforts to be a team player and keep everybody together as a team, remebering his teammates that nobody is bigger than the team... (and yes, my national volleyball team has a lot of ego issues) lol... But anyways... that's why i like him ;)

The top two pictures are of the girls I coached in Fillmore and in Cortez.  Coaching for GMS has been fun, but it's very demanding.  I'm just as tired as the campers by the end of the day!  The last picture is me at Mesa Verde.  After the camp in Cortez, I stayed a night in my car and spent the next day hiking.  I got to see a lot of cool Indian ruins.  Afterwards I drove to Arches and spent of few hours running from arch to arch.  That was probably one of the greatest days of my life!  So much fun, but I wish you all could have been there to share it with me.  I would write more, but me and my little sister Brooke are going to go feed some ducks and she is tired of waiting for me.  Love you all!

Answer to Q3

My favorite athlete of all time who I look up to SO much is Lance Armstrong. I read his biography and I was floored by his work ethic and his ability to believe in himself. He is truly incredible. He had a very humble start and had to work hard to make it to the big times. The mental perseverance he has enabled him to win 7 Tour de Frances in a row! His battle with cancer and his return to the sport were epic. I've heard from multiple sources that he's not a very nice guy in person, but I really respect him as an athlete. I want to have his determination and drive to be the best.

Love you all,
Miranda

Hawaii!!!

Hello everyone!! I am alive I swear. Sorry it has taken me so long to post something on here, I have been trying to since April!! Ya I am way slow I know.

Anyway, I just got back from Hawaii this morning!! It was so much fun. We did a lot of touring like we went to Pearl Harbor, did the Road to Hana, went to the Oahu temple, went to a volcano which I can't remember the name of and hung out at the beach!! Here are some pictures of my trip. Oh and I definately saw and talked to Jay Emanuel from America's Next Top Model!! Yeah that is right we are pretty much BFF's now. When I talked to him he said this was his day off and they were shooting America's Next Top Model there!!! Exciting!!

The pictures are of a wayyy gorgeous beach, my brothers and sister at the polynesial cultural center..I think that is what it is called! Then we found some friends of ours there and I am jumping off a cliff on the beach Weilea, where I saw Jay I might add, then it's my family at Pearl Harbor and the Oahu Temple

2 weeks from today!

so 2 more weeks til I am married!!!!!! I can't even tell you girls how excited I am. If any of you are planning on coming down please let me know asap and how many will be coming with you. I will try to help you out with a place to stay if i know in advance who will all be coming. If you aren't coming I completely understand. I would love for you all to be there but I know that is just in my fantasy world. Please get back to me either through commenting on this or just texting me. thanks and hope to see you all in 2 weeks...if not...I will see you in 3 weeks after my honeymoon! Love you all and miss you like crazy!

Question 3!!!!

Hey guys,
This is a really good question. And its kind of hard for me to choose one of my all time favorite athletes because i have few different ones for different reasons. But if i have to choose i will go with Lance Armstrong and Micheal Jordan. I'm not gonna talk about Mike because most of you already mention all the reasons why I love Jordan. My other one is Lance because he went through very difficult time in his life and he never gave up fighting. I think its unbelievable to beat cancer and still come back and compete. Its amazing how much he's committed to his sport and how much he wanted to come back. He inspires me a lot because of his will to survive cancer and never, ever give up. He motivates me to push myself very hard when I'm going through hard times. He's just great.

Little update about me. So i'm back in the states. It was very hard to leave Poland and say goodbye to my family and friends. But I'm excited to be back and more excited to see you girls when i get back. Can't wait. So, I'm finally posting some pictures up, sorry kind of late.

Love

BARTO

Answer to Q3

It's pretty hard for me to pick a favorite athlete considering I have a favorite for almost every sport. Since I'm a huge Suns fan though I'm going to have to go with my man STEVE NASH. I love watching Nash play because not only is he amazingly skilled- he is composed, unselfish, aggressive and displays amazing leadership. He is such a hard worker and never afraid to get down and dirty. I had to get a picture up here with my favorite athlete and then my LEAST favorite athlete (Kobe). Yes Kobe is amazing but I'm not a fan!!

Well I'm back up in Utah and having a great time! It is fun to see some teammates again and I can't wait for everybody to get back up here!

Much love ♥

Question #3

Ok...so I think everyday we find more and more things that make us alike as a team because I would say michael jordan is one my favorites as well. He was a determined and inspiring athlete on and off the court. Making his team better and working with them not only made them better but him as well. Also for a black guy oh damm hes still a good looking guy even now, some guys have that age thing does either good or bad well he's got it good!! Haha I thought watching him was very motivating as well becuase he always put all his effort into everything and always working hard with full percent so he became a great role model for children.
A little update on my life, last weekend I went to washington state to visit my sister and go to my cousins wedding which was alot of fun. They had amazing weather so got to sit out on my grandpas deck out in the country on the farm, everyone in our family prettty much has one! :-) I'll put some pictures up soon of the beautiful scenery of good ole' washington, its gorgeous...Who Knew?!! This week babysitting my little nephews while my sister has no nanny I get to step in!! Um nothing really to crazy just hanging out with a very special friend!! And enjoying home n spending time with family. Hope all are enjoying your summer excited to see you all soon!!

question #3

Keish...good question. But its funny cause that is my favorite athlete too. All the things you said were so true but one thing that you said is my favorite thing about him. He puts the team before himself. He wants the team to do well more than he cares about his own stats. He is extremely unselfish and I have always tried to be like that. I know that everyone cares how they play but I feel that he always tried to make his teammates better. I think that is a great characteristic for an athlete and I know that we have talked about that as a team. I have that goal to make someone on the team a better player because of something that I do. Michael Jordan is a stud....like Keisha said. His dunks were pretty sweet too. I'm not going to lie...he was a pretty good looking guy. But of course, Jonny is way more attractive :))) cant wait to hear the rest of the responses. Love you all!

Question # 3

Hey EVERYONE!!!! I hope your having a GREAT summer and all is going well. I love reading about everyones adventures and trips, so here is question #3!! Cant wait to hear you answer!!!
Who is your all time favorite athlete and why?
My all time favorite athlete would have to be Michael Jordan because he was a stud!! First of all we all know he was the best to ever play in the NBA. I enjoyed watching him play because he was so driven, quick, athletic, and such a team player on top of that. Michael made his team great and made his teammates great because of his drive and work ethic for the game. He was never cocky and always had a great attitude. This attitude he had was so determined and you could just see in every game he was going to do whatever it took to win. He also was a great leader, holds the record for scoring in the NBA, and has won 6 national championships. Above all his amazing wins, athletic ability, he was always very humble and caring. Just watching him play made me want to get out there and do my best and give a 110% everyday. I look up to him for the hard work he put into basketball after being cut from the basketball team and becoming the best basketball player ever!!! He loved the game and he made it so fun to watch. Basically he was amazing and I was in love with him when I was little haha!!!!!!!!! Hope you all like the question.

love Keish

beach, dodgers and bridal shower...

hey everyone! so the last couple of days my guy friend rented a beach house in Ventura. It's about a 45 minute drive from my house. Jonny and him stayed there the whole 6 days but i came home every night. :( but i went up there everyday but 2. We played hours and hours of beach volleyball. There were always people on the other courts so most of the time we would ask to play other people. It was so fun! We got beat everytime...we were playing against people that play every single day. Their skin was black and they all knew each others names. It was like when we went down to California and the people that were helping us knew every single person that walked by. haha. anyway, I went to a Dodger game a few weeks back. We sat literally right next to the bull pen. It was fun and the Dodgers won in the 11th inning!!! It was crazy. So the people we were sitting next to were crazy fans. The section we sat in was 301 and we looked around and the guy next to us had a 301 tattoo on his arm!! We couldn't believe it. Then a few rows up, the guy had a custom Dodger jersey made with the number on it 301!
haha. anyway, as we were leaving, we saw a guy that sat behind us. He had a huge tattoo of the Dodger logo on his forarm. And it was not a small tattoo. So of course, Jonny, wanting to be able to show everyone, asked the guy if we could take a picture of it. haha so we did and there is a picture posted of it. Jonny turned to me as we were leaving and said....man, and I thought I was a Dodger fan.

Oh ya...also, my best friend threw me a bridal shower down here this last saturday! It was so fun and good to see all of my old friends. Jonny and I got a lot of things that will help us out starting our own house! We got some pots and pans, utensils, a waffle maker, a spice rack, some cooking trays and a bunch more.

Anyway, thats the update I have. 3 weeks and a day til i get married and CAN'T WAIT!!!! I am so excited. I miss you all terribibly. Hope you all are enjoying your summer. Love you all!
