UW Game

This weekend I stayed at my grandparents house from Saturday afternoon until Sunday evening. I was there to go to the UCLA and UW college basketball game. As we were driving to the Bank of America Areana we were predicting the score of the game. I guessed UCLA would win 72_48. The outcome of the game would prove me very wrong. For the first couple minuets both teams were equal but UW pulled ahead at half time to lead by 6 points. The second half started the smae as the first half did. UCLA tied the game in the middle of the second period. Near the end UW pulled away again. UCLA had to fowl every time the Huskies touched the ball. Although UW diddn't make many of their freethrows they still won and the whole building went crazy. UW had beat #4 UCLA and I was there to see it.

Basketball Game vs. Lakewood

On Tuesday afternoon the announcement came on to realease the boy's middle school basketball team. As I left the classroom of Mr. Bergquist I felt excieted and nervous at the same time. As I boarded the school bus and checked to make sure I had all of my stuff my nerves left me and I couldn't wait to arrive in Lakewood and show who the real LMS Cougars were. As we got of the ferry I sat back, closed my eyes, and thought about the upcoming game. As we arrived at Lakewood and got changed my fears came back. As I was getting ready for the opening tip I was really nervous even though we had trounced Lakewood the first time we had played them. I won the tip and my fears left again. As the game got going I had several points, assists and steals. Going into halftime we were winning by 17 points. As we took the court 5 minuets later, I knew I wasn't going to play much the second half because we were up by so many. After the 3rd quarter we were winning by 25 points so our coach took all our starters out. We won 51-22.

The other was just plain fiesty. It would go after anone who came near him. This dog's name was JJ. One time when we went to my uncles house and my uncle yelled Attack JJ. The dog charged my black lab. My dog, Licorice was feaked out and hasen't gone near JJ in the last 4 years.

Portland

Over the past weakened my family and I drove down to Portland on Friday. We arrived in the city around 1:30 in the afternoon . The first day in Portland we walled around for a long time. Then, it got really cold and started raining so we checked in at our hotel and stayed there for the night. The next morning my family and I went to the mall in central Portland We didn’t stay for long but I bought an iPod Touch. After lunch we went back to the hotel to get ready for the climax of the weekend. My cousin was getting married. We drove to a church just outside of Portland. After a short ceremony we drove back into Portland for the reception. The reception was at a huge hotel in the middle of Portland. After hugging the bride and groom everyone ate dinner. After the delicious cake every one started dancing. All of the songs sucked so we stayed a talked to lots of family and friends. We left about one hour later. The next morning we packed and drove home. The weekend was fun and I will always remember it.
