After an incredibly long day of training interns after little sleep because of staying up late to watch the Rockies lose in extra innings to the Dodgers (which by the way was an amazing game and I totally do not regret watching those three extra innings), I got the happiest little surprise on my way home from work.
I was at the gas station by my house and I won a free 32 oz. drink!
It is a small little treat but I got so excited!
I love Diet Pepsi and I can't wait to claim my free one.
On an unrelated note - Ubaldo Jimenez is amazing! He is working it this season. I love how well the Rockies have been playing even though they lost last night.

Summer Vacation Hiatus
I was talking to my brother last night and he asked me why I haven't written a new blog post, so this one is for Justin.I've been on vacation for about a month now and I am not looking forward to going back to Utah. After going to Ohio for the NCAA Softball Regional, I headed straight to Colorado to spend some time with my family.
I went to Eddie's graduation, watched a lot of baseball, and oh yeah... I went to Hawaii.
It was amazing. I attempted surfing (so hard), ate a lot of great food, went to pearl harbor, spent a lot of time at the beach and I even managed to come home with a tan (well according to my standards).
I'm still in Colorado. I'm spending my time relaxing and watching quite a bit of baseball.
My little brother Reggie's team is a competitive nine-year-old boy's team. They are so cute and really talented. Eddie plays on a competitive team while he is getting ready for college. I'm making up for the four high school season that I missed.
In the world of sports though, I'm pretty stoked on the Rockies' 11-game winning streak. I'm really proud of the Nuggets for making i to the Western Conference Finals. Also, I hate the Lakers.

Links to Love
So I'm back. I took a short hiatus from blogging because I just didn't have much to say.
But there are a few links I want to share with you, so here I am.
1. I read practically everything that there was to read about this until I couldn't take it anymore. I found this article written from Press Enterprise. They sent a reporter to Nick's hometown to write one of the best representations of Nick, of the tragedy and his story. Click here to read it. I really recommend it.
2. People have already talked a lot about this movie, but in case you haven't heard about Sugar you really need to check out the trailer.
3. I love Dexter Fowler and he has a bright future ahead of him. Click here to read a feature about the Rockie's rookie.
4. I didn't watch the Bulls Celtics games, but I watched the five minutes of amazing highlights, and it really took five minutes to explain how amazing it was. Read about it here or check out the game because it will be on ESPN Classic tonight.

Because I Needed Something New
I had to put something new up. I can't handle seeing all the stuff about Nick all over the news sources that I frequent and having his name plastered on my blog when i went to check my friends' updates was not helping my cause.
I haven't been very talkative lately and that is why I haven't shared very much, but I am trying right now.
Shane Loux made his first major league start since 2003. I'm so happy for the success that Shane is experiencing.
As exciting as the first week of baseball typically is, I find it giving the promise of what is to come. Unfortunately this promise has been dulled over Nick's accident and the lovely snow that is falling just outside the walls of my office.
I'm going to Vegas and St. George in a few days and I can't wait!

Remembering Nick
Click Here For More Information About Nick Adenhart's Playing Career and the Fatal Accident
Last year I had the wonderful opportunity of getting to know Nick Adenhart. The tragic news that greeted me on the way to work was very unexpected and rendered me speechless. My heart goes out to Nick's family, friends and teammates.
I've struggled with processing the news surrounding this talented young man the entire day. It is hard to take it all in.
After finally displaying his ability to be a Major League starting pitcher last night against the Oakland A's, tragedy strikes. He had a great amount of talent, I loved to watch him throw live or in a bullpen. His easy delivery looked almost effortless and his pitches had a lot of life to them. I never doubted that he would establish himself with a great presence in the Big Leagues.
He struggled after his first Major League call up last year, but he worked hard to get back to the dominate pitcher he was.
I have many memories of Nick during his time in Salt Lake City. I'm glad to have known him.
I am interested to see the effect this will have on the Angles' clubhouse. I was privileged to work with the Angels organization and it will have a special place in my heart forever. My heart goes out to them as they deal with the personal loss of a very special person and they deal with losing their top prospect.
