"Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent."

My mom is trying a free trial month of Netflix. While we aren't huge movie watchers, but so far we have really liked what we ordered. The last movie that came was Forever Strong--a true story about a rugby team--we all really liked it. In the extra features interview with the real coach, Coach Gelwix, he gives a lot of tips about being on a team that can be applied to life, too! Here are some of the ones I appreciated along with my last volleyball tournament pictures.

"Don't waste time comparing yourself to others There will always be a bigger, better, faster smarter person. Instead, compare yourself to who you want to be tomorrow and in the future."



"The true test of a man is what he will do when no one will know."


"Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent."



''Play with perfection, knowing that you will make mistakes along the way--but learn from your mistakes."



"Pain of hard work is temporary. Pain of regret never goes away."



"It doesn't matter where you are at the moment . . . focus on the future."


"Hang out with people who have no regrets."

''God doesn't make a no-good anything."


"Attitude and effort are everything. You will get further in life with a good attitude than you will with smarts or great athletic gifts."

The Board Walk

We walked on the board walk in Bellingham last weekend. It was a little windy, but it was still so beautiful!




Mia came with me and my parents--which was a lot of fun!


Afterwards we went to the new Woods Coffee in downtown Bellingham and bought hot chocolates to help us warm up!



Psalm 24:1‑2


"The earth is the LORD's and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters."
