"The Book"

A new tradition has been started for Springville High School softball. One I wish I would have done for ALL other sports, for the past 3 years I've been coaching! It didn't start until the season was almost over. But it's hilarious. I cry every time I read it because I'm laughing so hard. Lindsey's dad gave her a little flip notebook that looks like this...
Well, she brought it to the game that day, and started writing down the funny things that happened. After that everyone kept saying, "Put it in the book." "Write that in the book." And so... the book was started! :) Now I realize it's probably much funnier if you actually know the people it's talking about in the book, or if you knew the story behind the comment or situation. But I still think it will be entertaining, and mainly I'm writing it down so I won't ever forget it! And when I have a bad day or need a good laugh, all I have to do is read it! :) So without further adieu.

PUT THAT IN YOUR BOOK!
