In The Words Of...



RaeLynn Snyder






Summer is by far my favorite season. Though every summer is special in some way, this summer has been extra special for my family. My brother Bryan got married to his fiancĂ©, Sarah, on June 16, 2009. Preparing for the wedding was of course a lot of work, but a ton of fun! As Maid of Honor, I had a lot of duties, but wouldn’t have traded them for anything because I had so much fun wedding planning. Bryan and Sarah got married right here in Greeley, CO on a beautiful summer day. It was awesome to have our family and Sarah’s family together for the first time. Now I have the sister that I have always wanted. To add to the wedding, my brother found out at the beginning of June that he had been hired as the assistant nutritionist for the Denver Broncos. They just moved into a new apartment in Denver that is very close to Invesco, and so far he absolutely loves his job. How could you not love going to lunch with Head coach, Josh McDaniels and Champ Bailey? I am still waiting for Broncos tickets and a “bring your sister to work” day. J
For me, I have been up in Greeley pretty much all summer. We have all been working extremely hard lifting weights, ploys, and running everyday. We all have our goals in mind and are working towards them each and every day. Working out has been tough, but we have found little ways to reward ourselves like slip and sliding and building forts out of blankets and sheets just for fun while eating s’mores. I went home with senior, Kenzie Shreeve for a weekend as well. We had a lot of fun together and it was nice to get away and escape to the mountains for a few days. Family and friends mean a lot to me so it was really nice to have the chance to go home for the 4th of July. My grandparents have a beautiful meadow in the middle of nowhere with an old chicken coup on their property where they have a big cook out, dance, and fireworks show every year. It is a lot of fun and really neat to see my family and spend some time with them. While I was home, my dad thought it would be funny to have a water fight on a 90 degree day in Simla, CO. It is such a small town, a water fight is some of the best entertainment you can do in a town like Simla. We all know who won this water fight…my dad! Yes, I admit it. He was pretty good even though we both got soaked. It wasn’t too fair though that he got all the water balloons. No complaining though, he’ll get it next time. I also got to see a lot of my friends while I was home too. I went to a movie and dinner with two of my best friends from high school, which was a lot of fun. It was great to see some of my closest buds.
Now it is back to reality with running and lifting and starting camps. It will be nice to get some money here is July while most of us girls will be helping out with Volleyball camps. Our 2009 season is just about here and after our spring and how hard we have been working this summer, I am getting very anxious. I can’t wait! GO BEARS!

In The Words Of...

Natasha Law...

Hey Yall!
A big howdy from another person from the greatest state in the WORLD, Texas J. Well I am more than halfway through my first Colorado summer and it definitely hasn’t disappointed me at all. I spent pretty much all of May at home with my family and Texas friends. It was amazing but to prepare for fall, Greeley was the place where I needed to be. I have been quite busy and have been enjoying all of it a lot. Four days a week we have been working out as a team, and although Joe, our strength and conditioning coach, kicks our butt we are bonding so much as a team and fighting through all the pain to get that much better. Besides working out I have been working a little as a babysitter to supply my shopping addiction and because I love kids like A LOT. I just moved in with muh girls Bre Williams, Jill, and Natalie into the Dollhouse and we love it so much. It’s an adorable house, sadly doesn’t have AC, but is quite pretty and we are having tons of fun. Although my family is in Texas I have been able to see them some too. They are my favorite people in the world so that has definitely added to my summer. I met my parents in Minnesota, where all of my mom’s family lives, for a weeding. For Father’s day I drove to Colorado Springs to see my oldest brother and his family since I could not make that quick of a trip home. Now in Greeley we have been doing lots. Besides our team, football, some softball girls, and basketball players are up here along with some other regular students so it’s nice that the town isn’t student- free in the summer. We have gone dancing, to Rockies games, Waterworld, the Greeley Stampede and spent many days by the pool among other things that I can’t remember at the moment. It has been a good time for sure! Also for the fourth of July I went to Golden to spend it with one of our teammates that graduated this year Lauren Carter, and got to sit closer to fireworks than I ever had before. It was beautiful watching them with the backdrop of the mountains. I’m used to watching them on the Lake at my house, which is also beautiful, but this was a nice change. My birthday is coming up soon and I get to go to the Keith Urban and Sugarland concert so I am counting down the days to say the least. I can’t wait to see what else the summer has in store for me. Fall will be here soon enough and we get to go to my home state for a tournament so my future is supa bright and exciting!
