Eugene Lightning Softball

I can't believe that the softball season is already over. It has only been over for one weekend and I already miss it with all my heart!

But the softball season it self was amazing and awesome! I had a great time and I am for sure looking forward to next years season. Which is not so far away if you think about it!

Softball is a funny thing. The point of the game is not how well the individual does but whether or not the team wins. The beautiful part of the game, is the blending of personalities, the mutual sacrifices for group success. Even when you have played the game of your life, its the feeling of team work that you will remember. You'll forget the plays, the hits, and the scores, but you will never forget your teammates.

But thats what I love about it. Besides the constant adrenalin rush, the sweat, blood, and tears the best thing about softball is the teammates and friends that you make during the season, the people you are forced to be with during the worst parts of the game. The parts of the game when you wish people would just leave you the heck alone, but they don't and they won't because as crazy as it sounds they are the only people that help you go through the worst parts of the game and the season. They will always be there when you fall on the field, when you lose confidence in your self, they will always be there for you so you better be there for them.

This past season I played on the Eugene Lightning team where I made many friends that I will always keep. We were all close and for the most part got along like no other team that I have ever played on. We had fun, worked hard and tried our hardest no matter what! We even got a little sick of each other... We strove for success and we helped each other out when the time was needed! We did everything we could to have a great season and I think that everybody had fun!

For all the hard work they put in while coaching! I know that this was an experimental year but from my perspective it went wonderful. You coaches were the best that I ever could have had the pleasure of playing for and I thank you for everything you guys did to make me a better player and person.

Great job to everyone and I hope you keep up the great work. You guys were so much fun to play with and I hope that I will see you all soon!
THANK YOU ALL!

My Best Friend Lucy

Lucy is awesome!
She is pretty much my best friend...I always feel myself and I am very comfortable around her! She is not always a positive friend but who would want to be totally positive all the time...At least I don't! so Lucy id just the perfect friend for me!
I love her always because she is the tough love kind of friend...Like for instanse if the guy i like doesn't like me or if he is dating someone else, she always responds with a "Thats okay you don't need guys anyway." It never fails to make me smile!
I never want to lose her as a friend...That would be like losing a sister!
She has a good spirt and very good intentions, she does everything with me. She never wants to be mean and we have only gotten in like one fight. Probably an all time record HIGH! Which I am sure everyone wants a high like that!
I have promised her that when I get married she can be my maid of honor! Because that is how much I love her! It sounds kind of stupid but it is like a connection kind of a thing.
If all my friends were like brothers or sisters she would be the golden one! (the best one)!
She never fails to be the best friend ever! NO matter if I call her at 1:00 am with a boy problem or if she call me whenever! I love her sooooo much and I will never let her go!
She is like the shoe laces to my shoes! Okay wait no because some people don't wear their laces on their shoes. She is like the music to my ipod. I don't know she is just the best.

Buster Posey

I have a crush I guess you could call it!!
well not really a crush but an idol!
his name is Buster Posey and he the giants baseball catcher!
he rocks!!!!! as most of you know I am a starting catcher for my own asa lightning softball team! Buster Posey has inspired me and i also get brand new catchers gear!! the same brand as Buster Posey!
Buster Posey is 23 and already married! :( darn!!!! ha ha ha :) I was not planning on marrying him but it would have been nice to know that he was single!!!
he was not however!
which sucks for me but I will get over it!!!
but he is really good!!!
his batting ave. is in the 300's and he has 10 home runs and 46(i think) rbis!
anyway he just about rock the world in my opinion but other people have other opinions
I hover think he is the greatest baseball player of all time!!!!!!!!
he has inspired me and i hope he has inspired many others because he is awesome!....

...and he is really cute!!! :) (he he he)

Aodan

This post is about one of my other guy freinds his name is Aodan!
Aodan's funny! just funny and a great friend!!! He is always making me laugh and sometimes even making me tear up. He always cheers me up and even somtimes when i am to hiper or crazy he calms me down! I am soooooooo glad that he is staying at the village school!!! When i am sad or need help Aodan is always there for me to talk to or to just hang out with...I remember last year i was not felling like haning out with my friends and so i asked Aodan if he would hang out with me, of course he said yes because he is awesome and we just hung out! I really like being around him... There is this little saying that he has that is for when i am mad or sad he says "turn that frown upside down whear a smile for a while." i always pretend that is has no affect on me but it really does and sometimes it makes me smile but mostly it just cheers me up. So Aodan if you ever read this thanks for everything you do for me i really apprecate you are a great person and a great friend!!!

Sophie

Sophie Gale Guindon is Gabrielles sister and my other all time best friend... Sophie is 10 years old so she i about 3 years younger then me but sometimes you just gotta love young friends! Sophie is super duper fearlss!!! We once went to a creek and jumped off this really high rock and all the big kids did it but Sophie did too and she was only like 7 or 8 at the time!!!
I don't know there is just something about Sophie that just makes me smile!!! I love her!!! She is one of my very best friends.. i love her!!! Our parents are also best friends! Her mom Michline is my mom's best friend and her Dad Patrick and my dad are good friends. Gabrielle and Sophie also have a brother Zaachary and him and Kai are best friends so everyone is happy when they come up to visit!!!

Gabrielle

I would like to start by writing about one of my very best friends. Her name is Gabrielle Sophia Guindon and she is like a sister to me! I met Gabrielle on a camping trip... well actally i met her little sister Sophie my other very best friend and i played with Sophie on that camping trip and then i don't know exactly how it happend but i became best friends with them both on that camping trip! Gabrielle has taught me a lot and i have know her for about 6 years. She taught me how to rollerbalde she taught me how to kick a soccer ball but for me most imporantly she taught me how to be my self... That is the greatest thing about Gabrielle(nick name "titi") is she is not afraid to be herself even if that means not beign like anyone else! I have just mastered that thanks to her but she has always been like that from the moment i mewt her fearless and not afraid to be herself... I love Titi like a sister she is a really awesome person and i Love her more then i can even discribe. Keep being who you are Titi because you rock!!!!
I LOVE YOU GIRL!!!

Now I have lived in three different states, California, Arizona and right now i live in oregon.

But to all my friends out there i just want to say that i love you all and i will love you for as long as i know you...First i just want to say that all my friends kick butt or the other word that i am not going to say but i have a sticker to prove it!
It may be just me but everyone needs friends, I know that i do i need Gabrielle i need Jackson i need Sophie!
I need all my friends to get me through life and to not just give up because i love all of you and i need all of you to be there for me when ever you can because i will always be there for you!
If you need me call on me!
Because i will always be your friend!
