My First Soccer Game of the Season

I had a soccer game Saturday at 8:30 in the morning. It was my first game of the season.  We were ahead 2-0 almost the whole game until towards the end of the second half.  The other team came back and scored two goals.   The game ended up being a tie, 2-2.   After my game I had to rush to the referee clinic.   It was supposed to start at 9:00 but I got there about 10:00.  It didn't end until 5:00.   You know, they really shouldn't put the time up there on that screen so we can watch the time crawl by.  I looked at the clock at 11:08 and I looked back about an hour later and it was 11:09, hmmm.  I knew a lot of the stuff already but I did learn a lot.  After my ref clinic we went back to the soccer fields to watch blenderboy play.  When I was walking up a coach asked me if I wanted to play in their game that was about to start.  So I played in his team's game with them.   They were like a u18 team. 

Yesterday was the 2nd and last day of the ref clinic.  We took a test at the end.   I got 5 out of 50 questions wrong.  We finished the clinic two hours early!!  I'm a referee now. :) That night my uncle, aunt, and cousin came over.  My uncle let me drive his car. :)  I drove my uncle, aunt, and Mom to Starbucks.  Have you tried Starbucks smoothies??  My favorite it the orange mango banana smoothie. 

Before I go, here is a tag I got on MBF's blog.

1. Are you wearing socks today? Yes, the most comfiest sockies in the world!   They are converse socks.  :)

2. When you can't go to sleep, what do you do? pray, think, listen to a cd

3. Which do you like better, rain or snow? if it snowed as much as it rained then I would like rain better

4. Have you ever had Ben & Jerry's ice cream?  Yup, I had some last night.   Half Baked is the best!! 

5. Do you like bananas?  yes, i just ate one about an hour ago

6. Do you live on a farm? no

7. Would you say you're more city or country? idk

8. Do you like Dr. Pepper or Coke better? water, gatorade, and Dr. Pepper are my favorite drinks

14. Do you have your own bedroom? yes

15. Do you ever laugh at stupid things? all the time!!

16. If you had the chance to go anywhere in the world, where would you go? Oooo, that's a hard one, probably a Women's World Cup soccer game, the Grand Canyon, Disney World again, or Yosemite National Park and the Golden Gate Bridge :)

The Sunday game was my adult team. We were playing a team called Upper 90 (which, strangely enough, is my coaches team). It was a GREAT game! Basically, Upper 90 was ahead of us in the standings by one point and this was the last game of the season, so we had to win to get first place. We were down 1 - 4 with 40 minutes to play and we came back and won 6 - 4!

My next game is in three weeks. We have a tough September (four away games in three weeks).

I haven't been going to that meeting because it's kind of a long drive for just a one hour meeting. Of course, I also haven't gotten any games yet but once I figure out the Arbiter system maybe I'll get some.

Hey!
Yeah, that template reminds me of that fish, too :-) Today we went to our day camp (but not for camp) and Ellyn had her riding lesson!! I got to stay and clean out the stalls! I was happy doing it, though :-) And I had to dump the wheel barrows and feed the horses! It was very nice to do it all :-)
Well, talk to you later!

I get this really sickening feeling that that is how my team's tournaments are going to go... or worse.

If you do go to the meeting, fill me in on exactly what they do, because, I might need to go to it.
