COURTNEY JONES (10-19-09):This past weekend was very exhausting, but at the same time fun. Beside the two-a-day practice held on Saturday, it was my 20th Birthday. What more could I ask for? I got to spend four incredible hours with my coaches going over drills and learning about our defense -- but that wasn’t the best part of MY day! Later that night I got to spend the evening laughing and joking with my teammates. We all decided to eat dinner at our local Outback Steakhouse and catch a movie.
At dinner we got a chance to relax and talk about things that were on our mind. We talked about a variety of things such as our favorite TV shows to our jean sizes. You could tell how empty our stomachs were by the way we ate because when our food finally arrived no one said anything. Then the waitress came out with a scoop of ice cream and candle while my teammates sang the Happy Birthday song. I was a bit embarrassed by their singing but I enjoyed myself. The movies were extremely packed that night. It was hard trying to find seats to watch the action-thriller “Law Abiding Citizen.” This film was very interesting. I believe this movie had everyone in suspense.
I really want to thank all of my teammates for spending their evening with me. They really helped make it an enjoyable and amazing one. If I could I would turn 20 all over again.
