~A tourney to be remembered~

    Heyya!
  As you know I went to a tourney this past Saturday! I was so excited. And guess what? I took more than one picture. Even then I didn't take as many as I would like. I'll tell my story with my pictures.

  This is my literal 3am picture. Yes. Believe it. I took a picture at 3am. More like 330am, but still you get the point xD And so to take this picture, I had to shine my phone on my face while taking the picture, haha. But with editing you can actually see my face. I went to bed at 930 the previous time (actually didn't fall asleep till ten) and I set my alarm for three. And so I can tell you really, that I don't have a problem waking up at three if I need to and have something that day. My problem was getting back to bed. You'd think that if you wake up at three, you can go back to sleep so easily, but it's quite the contrary. xD I dozed for an hour, but never actually slept to the point where I wouldn't wake up if you talked to me. And so we ate Mcdonalds at 530am. we arrived at about 700am.

   
    I actually took this picture later in the afternoon, but I thought it would be okay to put it now because it's a picture of the tourney place. Truthfully, I liked the fortwayne place better, but this place was cool. Upon arriving at 7am, our game was at 8am. We don't keep our Jerseys, so we had to get dressed, hair, etc. I love traveling. :)
   Anywhoo, first game was good. We lost, sadly but it was really good. The team had two 6'5 girls, and I kid you not, they were 6'5. They were registered that way, and so I'm not exaggerating. Our 6'0 girl had to jump to try to reach it over their heads. And they had a really good guard, good in play-not in attitude :P It was a close game, we lost by six points. But we came back from 18 points down and were missing our best player. We did extremely well under the circumstances :) I was very proud of us!
      Because we lost our first game, our second one wasn't till 2pm. So we had down time. :D In which we watched our Jr. High Girls play. {we're in the black in the pic.}

      After their game, we got to go eat at Subway. I was happy, because I haven't eaten there at all lately. The only down part was no pop (not that I would be aloud, since I'm playing B.ball xD) Subway I got to knit a little bit, and I talked to people. We played dutch blitz in Subway and imagine it. it was. LOUD. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. just kidding, we weren't that loud, but above average. We probably scared half the people in there, lol. We taught two new people which was SO fun. I love teaching people games, haha, but two knew how to play so I did have competition. It was PATHETIC when they wouldn't allow me to stack! AHHHh! Stacking, I could have won more, but I lived, I lived.
   During the afternoon, we watched more games. There was always another game to watch. But for a time, I went out with Nicole's family {who I drove with} and we all had a picnik in their car. {Just the two parents, me, Nicole, and Brianna.} Yeah, Brianna came. We knew she would. HA! If you knew Brianna, you'd know why I laughed. Anyway, we had a great time in their car. It was like an Avalon car, so we all squished in the back. Man, that was one of my favorite moments. 

   We went back got all dressed again, and played our second game. It was more fun, cuz I got to play more xD xD And so because we won that one, we got to play ANothER game. Guess what kind of rotten luck we got again? We had to play the same team that beat us first. Bleh...we could have won both games, but we didn't. This time we came back from 11 points down, and the score ended up that we were 6 down. It was a fun game.
      And SO, we got 4th place! I was proud of us, and coach was to...but we should have won the other games. xD but yay FOURTH!

{Yes, some of us look um--creepy eyed, but this was taken on a iphone camera, really good for that kind of camera, but still left a little creepiness lol, we have a real picture, but that would have to be emailed to me, etc.}

{Blurry, but Classic }

     
    And one of my personal favorites,

{can you read it? hahahahahahahahaha}

       I am so thankful for the opportunity to play on this team. Everything has been fun, even the practices. Yes, the practices. Even though, at the time, they seem murderous, but they are making me better. I've learned over this Christmas that if you put time into anything, you'll be way better at it. Practice makes perfect. A popular statement, but it's very true. I've been improving in basketball so much, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for me in the sport. I'm am eagerly awaiting more tourney's and games. But right now, it's thankfulness <3

{Actually taken at the beginning of the day} 

    And so, the day ended. I was exhausted at the end of the day, and barely stayed awake on the ride home. I was OUT. More out then I've ever been. I missed the alarm I set to wake me up from my thirty minute sleep. I have NEVER slept through an alarm. I learned that to xD
    Well Summit is vastly approaching and I can't wait for that. Preparations are being made as we speak. Regionals is also coming in March, along with another State tourney. So hopefully our schedules will coordinate and I can make all of those. :)
     So far so great <3

Hope your day is awesome~
!Hannah!

 p.s. if you read that all, you are awesome and I thoroughly appreciate your taking the time xD lol.
