tiger trials...

yesterday was the tiger trials track invitational. i threw shot put and discus. i was very excited for this meet because it was good preparation for the byu invitational next week. to qualify for the byu meet you have to throw a certain distance. for shot put it is 29 feet and discus it is 87 feet. my first event yesterday was discus. i was in the second flight which means i'm not the best but i'm not the worst :) the rest of the girls from orem were in the third flight. my first throw i scratched because i fell out the front, but i'm pretty sure it was a bad throw anyways. my second throw i threw 80.6 and that is a pr for me by 4 feet. i was really happy. my third throw was short so it wasn't marked. i went onto finals being placed 7th. my first throw was out of the sector so it didn't count. my second throw was 83.5 feet and i was real happy! i got two pr's. my last throw hit the pole so i scratched again. i only marked two throws and they were both pr's haha. anyways we had to wait a while until shot put started. all of us orem girls were in the last flight. we all went into finals placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. in preliminaries i threw a 29.3 which was a pr and then a 29.5, another pr. at finals my first throw was 29 even. i had to get 30 if i wanted to even think about medaling. my second throw was 30.5! i was so happy! my last throw was short but that's okay! so i ended up beating one girl from orem and medaling for the first time! we took the top 4 spots and overall won the track meet! 
(lesa got 1st, gloria got 2nd and i got 3rd..)

(my very first medal)

another way successful weekend for the tigers! 

next stop byu invite!

track and field...

yesterday and today i was at the utah county track and field invitational. yesterday i threw shot put and today i threw discus. i'm pretty happy about my personal performance and as a team. orem girls won first overall. we won the whole meet! yesterday for shot bonnie mua from orem took 1st overall, gloria james from orem took 2nd, lesa mua from orem took 3rd and i took 4th! we killed it. today in discus i won my flight and i was the only one from my flight to make it to finals. lesa mua took 1st overall, gloria james took 2nd, bonnie mua took 3rd and i took 6th. in shot i p.r.ed twice! the last throw of preliminaries i threw a 28.2 and that was a p.r. the first throw of finals i threw a 28 even and my second throw i threw 29 even, another p.r. my third throw in finals was 28.5. so i basically threw 3 p.r.s but not really. it was awesome. 33.something is qualifying for state and i'm really close. i'm gonna do it! disc was not my best day. my p.r. before today was 73.2 and today my first throw was 76 something! i was very happy until my 2nd and 3rd throw were worse by like ten feet. i still qualified for finals and then ended up throwing a 73.6 or something in finals. lesa threw a 104.6! she is awesome. on glorias final throw she threw it over the fence and hit a car... i think it is SO funny! it was paulas sister and brother in law's car too! oh man what a fun weekend!

slumps...

well life can really get you down sometimes. everything's fine, it's just sometimes you get into those slumps where you feel so Bad for yourself. i'm kind of in one of those right now. i think as human beings we are alOud a short time to feel bad for ourselves, but You just have to keep reminding yourSelf that there is someone who will always love you and will alwayS understand you to the fullest. although life does get toUgh sometimes we are never truly truly alone. i love my elder brother jesus christ for that knowledge. i thank him everyday for the saCrifice he had to give to bring me that Knowledge. i will always be in debt to that man.

lexie lefebvre...



so, i wanted to write a little soMething about my friend lexie. 
(this is her..)
so lexie and i are on student council together. she is like mY other half. i think we have the same brain sometimes but we're just two different people. lex is so sweet and she makes me so happy. also we have some crazy fun/funny times together. she is always looking at a different side of things and always see's things with a much more positive eye than me. she makes me want to Be better and makes me work harder to bEcome who i'm supposed to be. she is so beautiful! i mean just look at her! we have had so many fun times and i imagine that there are only more to come. lexie iS going to be an amazing moTher and wife to whoever is lucky enough to snatch her up! i love this girl so much and if you don't know her, you wish you did! lexie is so talented too! she has this incredible talent of harmonizing whenever she wishes! we like to sing together and clap our hands:) she loves to grow things and it's so cute to see how she gets into it! and what most people know about lexie is her amazing art skills. she is so creative and artistic. not only can she draw, paint and do all those Fun things but she has that same eye with photogRaphy. she isn't necessarily into it like some people are, but lIke i said before, she has this eye for things that no onE else seems to see. she's so treNdy and cool! here are some photos that i just barely saw on facebook and i'm obsesseD with.

(she's so cool..)

(don't even know how that happened..)
i just wanted everyone to know about this amazing girl! i'm sure that there will be more to come regarding her and my adventures! last things to say: i love her, i miss her, i want to be like her, she's beautiful!

prom...

alright, i'm really bad at this whole blogging thing... well i'll just treat it like i've been updated this whole time ;) well the last thing i really updated on was josh and kristen's wedding. well since then my jr. year is almost over and to be honest it hasn't been that exciting. school is school no matter what year you're in. i'm kind of getting sick of all the stupid teenage/ high school things. people think that because we're in high school we have to do all the typical teenager things and it's stupid. people need to grow up. but i have some sweet news! paula had her baby! and believe it or not, it was a boy! we didn't think dad had it in him;) anyways this little baby boy's name is luke spencer hamblin and he is my whole world. i love this little boy to death. he is just so adorable and silly. i can't wait to see how he turns out. 
(he's a little older now..)
he is so fun and i just love him to pieces.

on another note something that Is more recent and super exciting for me... prom is in a month! i got asked about two weeks ago and i can't begin to tell you how excited i am! i am going with alex escobar and he is quite the catch i'Ll tell ya! him and i bOth throw for track and that's kind of what got us hanging out again. alex and i have been friends ever since i've known him and we've gone back and forth hanging out like always. but more recently we've been hanging out a lot and i have loved it! it's always nice to haVe some new people to call and have a good time with. anyways, i kind of started to like alex and i was really hoping he'd ask mE to prom because ya know, you want to go to prom with someone special! well one night my friends lexie lefebvre, quinton dickerson, ben smith, george bowman, courtney waren and i all went out to see a movie. before the movie lex, quinton, ben and i all went prom dress shopping because lexie said, "who knows if we'll get asked but lets go look just for fun!" so we went and i stArted getting really excited! i wanted alex to ask me so badly haha. anyways after the movie lex drove me back to my house and asked if she couLd come inside for a minute. we walked downstairs to my room and i opened the door and guess what? there were balloons everywhere and a poster that said, "paige... let's blow the night away at prom." so wE had to pop every balloon to find out who it was from. you can guess that i was freaking out!! lexie knew the whole time and it was very fun for her! dad and paula were on a cruise when this was all happening so josh and kristen were staying at the house with me. i yelled for kristen and she ran downstairs. she had no idea that they had ever come over. i guess they came when she was gone, but she was freaking out just as much as me. so lex, kristen and i were all downstairs popping balloons and you want to know what the first letter we found was?? it was an x! I was so happy! i mean who else could it be? we found the rest of the letters and sure enough it was alex! i'm going to prom with alex! man oh man. i was smiling for the neXt three days! so pretty much just the best:) he's an awesome kid! we have tons of fun together and he just makes me smile! i promise nothing is happening, but cross your fingers;) this is him...
(he's the big one..:))
i seriously can't wait for prom. i just found my dress and it's on it's way Here right now. the day after alex asked me we hung out and he said this to mE, "okay paige, colors and everything are completely up to you." in my head i'm thinkin, "duh, of Course they're up to me haha." but i said to him, "if i find my dream prom dress (which i basically did) i'll be weAring a light pink dress and you'll be wearing grey." he looked at me and said, "grey?" and i said, "well you can wear whatever you want, but i think you would look super haNdsome in a grey suit, cream vest and light pink tie." he just looKed at me and smiled and said, "paige, i look good In pink." it was very Sweet and very funny. our other friend drake juSt looked at me and said, "paige i wish every girl would just tell Me what to wear like you do! it would make it so much Easier!" alex answered and saId, "yeah, that's awesome paige!" it's going to be Fun and we're going to be the best looking couple tHere, easily:) i just need to get semi-tan because alEx is just naturally dark With his chilean skin haha. it's going to be so much fun regArdless of anything because he is just oNe of those guys. i will keep you updaTed and i promise i will post pictureS after the dance!
