Tori's Stori

Okay, so on Friday night (May 15) I will officially change my blog from "Tori in Logan" to "Tori's Stori" (so www.torisstori.blogspot.com). Yeah I thought the spelling that matched my name was clever, as well as the rhyming, so don't kill my excitement. I just can't be Tori in Logan anymore, it just feels wrong. So thank you much for sharing the news with people who don't check my blog often and try to view the old one and get frustrated. Love you all...

Saying Goodbye

Today was our last game of the 2009 high school softball season! I loved coaching at Mountain Crest, I learned so much from the other coaches, Leslie, Kelly and Shawn, and I had a great time with all the girls. I am so glad that I could have this experience. Next weekend is our team banquet, and then I will have to say goodbye to the mustangs for good...

New blog name

Okay so as of this coming Saturday, I will no longer be "Tori in Logan." Yes, I'm moving home for good. Well for a while, probably. So I need a new blog name. Any ideas? Seriously, I'd love to hear your ideas, so get brainstorming people! Let me know ALL your ideas, even the weird, dumb, random, silly, etc, etc, etc...

Lindsay and Tom Anderson

Yesterday I spent just about the whole day in Bountiful/Clearfield for Lindsay and Tom's wedding! After the ceremony at the Bountiful temple we attempted to take pictures but it was a downpour! I can't believe that much rain really could fall at once. Then we had lunch, and later we went to their garden reception, where luckily there was two hours of clear skies! Everything was beautiful and it was so fun to spend the day celebrating Lindsay and Tom!

The cake topper! Amazing

DONE!

Thank goodness, I am done with finals!!!! Four tests later and I'm still standing. Actually I did much better than I expected to do, so that makes finals week that much better. Although now with two less roommates, I am feeling so lonely! I am going to miss living with Jenni and Natalie! One more week in Logan before summer really begins! Yay!

Twas the Night Before Finals

The night before finals week begins is always full of dread, in my case it will officially be Monday of finals week in one hour and five minutes. In honor of my LAST finals week ever in college, I wanted to share this poem that I got during my very first finals week as a freshman (it was also December so this poem was pretty cute for the holiday). To everyone out there who is facing finals in the next few weeks... GOOD LUCK!

Twas the night before finals, and all through the college,
The students were praying for last minute knowledge.
Most were quite sleepy, but none touched their beds,
While visions of essays danced in their heads.
Out in the taverns, a few were still drinking,
And hoping that liquor would loosen their thinking.
In my own room I had been pacing,
And dreading exams I soon would be facing.
My roommate was speechless, his nose in his books,
And my comments to him drew unfriendly looks.
I drained all the coffee, and brewed a new pot,
No longer caring that my nerves were all shot.
I stared at the notes, but my thoughts were muddy,
My eyes went ablur, I just couldn't study.
"Some pizza might help," I said with a shiver,
But each place I called refused to deliver.
I'd nearly concluded that life was too cruel,
With futures depending on grades made in school.
When all of a sudden, our door opened wide,
And Patron Saint Put-It-Off ambled inside.
His spirit was careless, his manner was mellow,
All of a sudden, he started to bellow.
"On Cliff's notes, on Crib notes, On Last Year Exams.
On Wing-It and Sling-It and Last Minute Crams."
His message delivered, he vanished from sight,
But we heard him laughing outside in the night.
"Your teachers have pegged you, so just do your best,
Happy Finals to All, and to all a Good Test."

Kendra's Shower!

Fun times on Saturday at Kendra's shower with the Fischer family! We had yummy crepes, Jenny and Kamie were the master crepe makers, with all the toppings you can imagine! My favorite had strawberries, yogurt and powdered sugar... Thanks to my mom for being the amazing party planner and helping me put together cute table decorations, I can only take credit for the table runner which was sewn at like 11:00 the night before and was not that good if you looked closely. I am sooo excited for the wedding, May 13 is coming so fast!

Table decorations and crepe toppings...
