As everyone said it would, my senior year feels like it's slipping through my fingers. I want time to SLOW DOWN! It feels like it should be hitting me hard right about now, but these last couple months have gone by so quickly I can't even seem to catch my breath. Two weeks ago we had our very last football game against Coconino. Being our city rivals, this game was going to be one worth attending. Our football team has beaten Coco for the last (I want to say) 6 years or so. But this year, our team wasn't looking so great. Then again, neither was theirs so we weren't sure what to expect. In preparation for the big game, our school put together a powder puff football team, and being my senior year, I decided to participate. It took around two weeks of practice to get us all at least somewhat familiar with the plays. I, being small and underestimated, didn't get very much playing time in at all. It really bummed me out actually and as I am typing this, it still upsets me! But on the bright side, our senior team won (of course).

The football game was quite the riot. We did not perform a halftime because we had planned on competing at a regional competition the next morning, but at the last moment, we had to forfeit from the competition. Although, I did walk on the field at halftime with my parents for senior night. I felt tears start to form in my eyes as I looked up at the crowd like I have been for the past three Flag high football seasons. It was such a weird feeling thinking, I will never perform another halftime on this field again! My "last time" senior experiences are passing by all too quick! We took a picture of the seniors all together, but yet I still hadn't cried like I thought I would. This seems to be a sign to me that maybe I'm ready to say goodbye.
So.. As you probably can't tell in this picture, I am holding my phone because I was in the middle of a phone call during this picture. At the very beginning of the fourth quarter, my oh so charming boyfriend and two of his close friends planned to run on the football field in red "super fan suits" holding signs that said CHS, and had FHS on the other side with an X through it. I knew it would be funny, but I wasn't sure when to expect it. Sure enough, without any warning, the three of them were suddenly sprinting down the field. Alex ran towards me and picked me up and twirled me around in his arms. He then set me down and ran for the doors to exit the stadium. Supposedly, the administration all watched calmly UNTIL he picked me up. Then, my principal ran as fast as I've ever seen a grown mad run before, right towards those boys out the door. Around five minutes later, a police officer came over to the cheer lines and asked to speak to me. I didn't get to cheer the last quarter of my last football game because I was being questioned by the police about the whole ordeal. I myself found it a little bit ridiculous for them to be making such a huge deal about it, because it was just fun and games, but I guess the principal injured himself after he ran out the doors and jumped over a fence to catch one of the boys. Hopefully, Alex and his friends don't face any charges from NAU or either of the school administrations.
The things they do for fun....
To close up my post, the latest "last" I had was my last family christmas pictures (while still living at home). I will save the pictures for my mom to post on her blog. We drove down to Sedona to get a unique look for our pictures, and Alex did them for us. He is SO talented, it amazes me. My mom snapped a few of us and below is one of my favorites :)
