BOISE, Idaho – As we prepare our selves for day two, many got the chance to sleep in before heading off to practice this morning. Although we were supposed to fly out this morning it will be a short time to relax today, as we have plane ride and busy week ahead of us. As I look over the itinerary this morning and what all the week has in store I really mean it when I say this will be a busy week. The girls will take part in a Special Olympics Clinic, Banquet of Champions, Parade of Champions, and of course the reason we are making the trip a game against Black Hills State University on Wednesday.
One last thought before I head to get ready this morning. I know our men's team along with many friends, family, and fans will also be starting there trip this morning and I hope everyone has a safe trip. We look forward to seeing you in Iowa and EOU Men Good Luck in Branson!

BOISE, Idaho -- For those of you who don't know me, my name is Katee Humphrey and I graduated last year with a degree in sociology. I was then given the amazing opportunity to work in the athletic department helping Barry out in the sports information department. Along with work in the athletic department I am also currently working on my MBA, and working part time at UPS. Need less to say, I stay busy but love every minute of it because of great opportunities like this one!
I am sorry if I kind of jump around throughout this blog, but I will warn you now this is my first ever experience with blogging so you may have to bear with me! This will be one of many posts that I hope to write as a travel along with the women's team to Sioux City Iowa. Before I get to far into this I also want to thank everyone for making this trip possible and allowing me to go, teachers and coworkers, thank you!
Where to start? That is the first question…I had a two and a half hour bus ride, shoot around, and dinner and I still don't know but am going to give it a shot. This week long trip started this morning as I, and I think I speak for a few others, packed one bag…that's right one bag full of all our necessary belongings for the week. We departed from La Grande at about 2 pm and headed for Boise. The plan: shoot around at six, dinner at seven, bed, and then depart for Sioux City at 7:18 am tomorrow morning. Although it wasn't long before everything change, and we got the news our flight had been changed from 7:18 am to 6 pm tomorrow night, kind of throwing a kink into the itinerary! So we still went to a shoot around at Boise State, dinner at the Olive Garden, and I am now currently sitting in the hotel room and the last I heard the current itinerary for tomorrow is: sleep in, breakfast at the hotel (before ten), leave the hotel at 10:25 for practice and Mountain View High School, then maybe some studying, shopping, I don't know until six as we will then at last get to head to Sioux City. Although it would have been nice to get out of here in the morning, I look forward to the week and spending time with this great team and the many more adventures/memories to be made! Night.
