Yesterday I was in the middle of AP Psych class and I got a text from my dad. It said "The Broncos just signed Peyton Manning!" I looked at it and turned to the biggest Colts fan I know, who was sitting right beside me. Amanda Jacobsen was upset that Manning had left the Colts, but was now really really excited he was going to Denver. Andy Jacobsen, the counsler is obsessed with the Broncos so Amanda has to kind of like them too.
I announced the news to the rest of the class and immediately many conversations were going on about it. Half of the poeple were excited, and others were not.
Manning was looking at the Tennessee Titans and the San Francisco 49ers but called them yesterday to inform them of his intent to now play for Denver. The Broncos have scheduled a news conference for 3 p.m. tomorrow, and we will see how that goes.

The Outside is Beautiful!
ALL I WANT TO DO IS START GOLFING! I MISS COACH BUSH AND BRIAN AND ALL OF THE GIRLS GOLFERS!
Oh my gosh, it's officially time for spring. Like seriously, right now is defineately the best pat of the year for me. I am so excited for spring break but at the same time it's like it is spring break already because the weather is so nice outside.
You know what that means, time for golf season. Today I spent a big part of the day outside. Literally I was outside almost all of the day. Actually I'm outside right now. Yes this is the best day ever. I'll explain how my day went.
So most of the city golf courses opened today, and I really wanted to go to the range. We will get to that later, for now let's go in chronological order.
My friend Paige is back from college for the weekend so last night I went and stayed the night at her house. We were up all night just talking and having a good time. After going to bed at like 3am I had to get up at 8 and go to my Saturday morning bowling league. There I bowled 3 awesome games for a 646 series. Also, I found out that my team and my doubles are both in first place for a city tournament I bowled in last weekend. That put me in a great mood.
After bowling I texted Paige to see if she wanted to do something because it was such a nice day outside. She said yes and said we will just do a bunch of outside activities. I got my golf clubs out because she is a golfer herself. They had been in the garage with cobwebs all around them and my shoes got all dusty so I cleaned them up a bit. I grabbed my golf clubs, my softball glove, a frisbee, my sunglasses, and off I went.
We ended up going to the range at St. Andrews and hitting a bucket of balls at the range. I started off really bad because I haden't played all winter, but at the end I got the hang of it. She gave me some tips on my grip and backswing because she has golfed all of her life. Practice starts Monday, so I have to get this down and look good before then.
After golfing we decided to go out to play disc golf. On the way there we were blasting some music with all of the windows and the sunroof open. Man I just want it to be summer again so that can happen every single day.
We got to the sports complex out by Toyota and started playing, I definately kicked her butt! On hole number 3, she threw the frisbee all the way on the other side of this creek. I had to jump over a creek and climb a tree just to get it for her, god I'm such a nice friend. After like 5 holes we were done with that because it was almost too windy to play.
We drove around some more and went to Thomas park at the edge of Cedar Rapids and Marion. We walked probably three miles and just laughed and talked the whole way. I had to push Paige up some of the big hills, but she made it up without passing out.
The last thing we did was go to another park and just threw a softball back and forth, then we decided to just simply swing. She told me all about her past and all about college now. It honestly makes me just want to be done with high school and start college.
The whole day went by so fast and I want to have a bunch more days like that, hanging out with my friends outside. It seems like now people are inside way more than we used to be. My mom and dad always explain that they were outside every minute that they could be as kids, but now we have TV's and computers and our generation just likes to sit on the couch. I am going to change that about myself. Every extra minute of my day I am going to try to be outside doing some type of activity, or playing some kind of sport. Maybe then I can lose a few pounds, have a great tan, and just be happier because the sun makes you happy, right?
I can't wait for the half day that will be close to 80 degrees! I don't remember a time this early in the year it was so nice :) My arm sure does hurt now though from all the things I did today. I guess I haven't used these muscles in a long time. We will see how it feels tomorrow!
